Outdoor Temperature Sensor Compatible Outdoor Sensors  The KW9177T outdoor sensor (433 MHz) comes packaged with this clock and is the only compatible sensor. Fahrenheit/Celsius  Digital Atomic Clock: Hold the -/°C/°F button on the back of the clock for 5 seconds to switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
PAGE 4
 Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4°to be within tolerance.  If the sensor reads correctly when next to the clock then try a different location outside.  Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat. Intermittent Outdoor Temperature  What is the temperature? This sensor reads down to –4 degrees F. when the temperature is below that, the outdoor temperature can show OFL, dashes or stick at a number.
