SkyScan 86709 Atomic Wall Clock - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Batteries must come out of both the temperature sensor (transmitter) and base (clock and temperature display). Leave out for about 4 minutes. Replace the batteries in the temperature sensor FIRST and set it about 5 - 10 feet away from the base. Replace the batteries in the base and leave them both set without touching any buttons for at least 15 minutes (usually only takes 5 minutes or so). The temperature should start to display. You can set the clock manually to the correct time and have it get the updates via radio in the evening or night. Should work after all this just fine. (have done it alot of times this way over the years)

Good luck.

I just changed the batteries yesterday. It was hard to open the battery compartment with bare hands/finders. I used flat screw driver to poke into the notch in the center of the transmitter. Or you can try poke into any **** around the compartment. It works!

When was the last time it was serviced? The movement probably needs a good cleaning and/or oiling. http://usedclockparts.com/8-clock-movement-repairs/39-how-to-easily-clean-and-or-fix-your-clock-movement

Depending on which country you are in (the UK won't reset for a couple of weeks yet), your clock will automatically reset when it receives the adjusted time signal. If your clock is not receiving the signal, try moving it near a window and away from any electrical interference, or it is possible that your battery is getting low and has not got enough power to receive the signal.

Try temporarily locating it in a different location until it picks up a signal, usually around a window.

You need new SioScan Temperature Transmitter 433 MHz. Take a look on amazon La Crosse Technology TX6U Wireless Temperature Sensor for 433 MHz units.... Hope this was helpful. cheers

There should be a button labeled "C/F" to change the temperature. I don't own that brand, so I'm not sure if it's on the transmitter or on the receiver unit. Here is a link to the owners manual: Model 86709 SkyScan Atomic Clocks

There's a four-position slide switch on the back of the 86709. Just slide it to your time zone. To view the manual, point your web browser at http://skyscanatomicclocks.com/site/owners-manuals/model-86709/

Hi, The transmitter for your radio controlled clock is the atomic clock in your region, I wouldn't advise trying to replace the batteries in it. I am guessing you are talking about a remote wireless sensor supplied with your clock! Put good quality batteries in this and place it next to your receiver (your clock) while it registers and then you can place it outside or wherever you want it.

Look carefully at the back of your clock for a reset button. The temp may have encountered a problem and stopped working. Also, be sure the battery is fresh. Hope this helps.

You can order a replacement transmitter here for $13.75 including postage: http://skyscanatomicclocks.com/site/shop/
