I remove the batteries and let the clock sit for 10-15 minutes. Upon inserting batteries both inside and outside temperatures are displayed after about 8'minutes the outside temperature disappears and only dashes are displayed. This has happened 3 or 4 times when trying to set it.

Remove all batteries from outdoor sensor and weather station.
Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
Verify that the weather station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on
the screen that will show when power is removed).
Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
Insert fresh batteries into the clock.
Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the forecast station.
When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the
outdoor sensor and weather station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong
connection.
If your outside temperature is not showing on your clock, that may mean that the clock and the transmitter have lost their connection. To reconnect them you must first take the batteries out of both of the units for 15 minutes. First put the batteries back into the transmitter, and then the clock. Let them sit side by side inside your home. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures show on your clock with the same reading, or within two degrees of each other, then you may put your transmitter back outside. Remember to keep the transmitter out of the direct sun in a dry place. Also keep it away from metal, which can affect the readings.
hello lucy... you most likely have some corrosion in the outdoor component. Remove the batteries from the outdoor component and clean the battery contacts with the eraser end of a common pencil. Reinstall the batteries and then give it up to 8 hours to start reporting accurately again. Joe
If you have lost the outside temperature on the clock display then do the following:-
1. Make sure you have good batteries installed in the remote transmitter 2. Remove the batteries from the main clock and keep them out until the clock display disappears. 3. Re-install the batteries in the clock. 4. Wait until the display returns and includes the outside temperature display as well. 5. Set the clock again for current time/date etc.
I have a thermometer with an outside sensor. It's necessary to remove both batteries, wait a few minutes, then replace batteries - sensor first. It may take a few minutes for the inside clock to pick up the signal. If it doesn't, try again with new batteries.
Your clock may need to receive a signal indicating the time change. You can try moving it to another room, or outside to see if it reads the signal. Mine didn't, so I removed the battery and reset the clock. It wasn't obvious how to do that and I didn't save the owner's manual but upon close inspection there was a tiny black button (that looks like where you would lift a cover for a battery) and pressing it allowed me to adjust to the correct time. It is a "Sharp" bought at Target a couple of years ago.
If you have lost the outside temperature on the clock display after replacing the transmitter battery then do the following:
1. Make sure you have good batteries installed in the remote transmitter 2. Remove the batteries from the main clock and keep them out until the clock display disappers. 3. Re-install the batteries in the clock. 4. Wait until the display returns and includes the outside temperature display as well. 5. Set the clock again for current time/date etc. 6. Bingo. You are in business.

Without having parts to try, this would be difficult to know what the fault is. Inside this unit there is a circuit board, and on the outside there is the exernal temperature sensor.
There are only a few things that can go wrong. There is not much that is servicable unless you can find a spare board, or a spare temperture probe. There is very little posiblity that in any practicality this unit can be serviced at the component level.
