SOURCE: atomic clock reception

I guess the battery has run out on you. change the battery and you are good to go. I got to warn you though, if you are skittish on taking a good risk, do not try to change the battery yourself. It is a little piece of complex machinery. I have the same problem a while ago. I decided to change the battery myself after the watch repairman tried to sell me a new watch. And you know what, I'm glad I did. My atomic watch is working fine again.

SOURCE: Resetting to daylight savings time.

The clock is searching for a strong enough radio signal from NIST station WWVB. When it can't lock on it, it gives up, moves the dial four hours, and goes to sleep to wait for better reception. Put the clock in a window facing towards Boulder, CO, overnight. (Radio propagation is better after dark.)

SOURCE: How do I reset my skyscan 86715 atomic clock?

SkyScan 86715:
>Press "SET" once,
>>press "+" until you see your time zone;
-4 ATL-Atlantic
-5 EST-Eastern
-6 CST-Central
-7 MST-Mountain
-8 PST-Pacific
-9 ALA-Alaska
-10
-11
-12
-6MT-?
>Press "SET" once,
DST ON/Off
>Press "SET" once,
US - duh, huh
F - MER-Mercredi, French
E - MIE-Miércoles, Spanish
>Press "SET" once,
>>press "+", for correct hour
>Press "SET" once,
>>press "+", for correct minute
>Press "SET" once,
Range 00-20; 09 = 2009
>Press "SET" once,

>Press "SET" once,
Day of the Week
>Press "SET" once,

.
The clock should now display "month/day/day of the week/moon phase/Temperature"
.
NOTE: Moon phase and Seconds will correct on first reception from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
.
Lastly,
Press "+" once,
Temperature changes to seconds
>>Press "+" once,
Temperature returns on right-most panel and
seconds replaces day of the week.
>>Press "+" one last time and you are back to done!!!
.
Thanks,

SOURCE: my clock is nort showing up the outside tempertute

Seems to be a consistent problem with Skyscan. I have the 88800 model and my outdoor transmitter isn't transmitting the temperature either. We've replaced the batteries in both the transmitter and clock and nothing for outdoor temp. It's only been used for 9 months.

Sensot does not work on outside temperature

You need to pull the batteries out on the sensor, reset the main unit and then have it check for sensors again. If it does not find any, replace the sensor.

You have to push some buttons to tell the MAIN unit to scan, then put battery into the REMOTE, set channel, and hit reset through a little hole. And the MAIN should see it.

My oregon scientific indoor outdoor weather station with atomic clock just stopped picking up the outdoor readings, it won't switch to that channel any longer. tried removing and reinstalling the battery,...

I had the same problem, Since the outside temp wouldn't read, I figured it was the outside unit batteries. Went through half a dozen AAA batteries and wouldn't read. It was the indoor unit. Had the same bats I installed 3 years ago. DUH! Replaced the AAA, and all was well. When the inside batteries die out, it has just enough juice to read indoor temp, but not enought to sense exterior signal.

Oregon Scientific Model 323a--Atomic clock...the atomic clock keeps setting itself to one hour behind what time it actually is in my time zone...I mannually re-set the clock to the correct time...but when...

Make sure that the clock is set for the correct time zone and that the DST (Daylight Saving Time) function is ON. Also, although not mentioned in the manuals, these clocks will typically jump and hour ahead or behind when the batteries get weak. Replace your batteries if they are more than a year old.

Oregon scientific IWA 80055 Outside temp won't display and I have replaced the batteries on the sending unit and it blinks two times every few seconds.

I have the same unit (IWA-80055) and after not finding anything helpful on the net, I just messed with it until I got it fixed. Here's what to do:

1. Take the cover off the back of the remote sensor.

2. Set the chanel to ch.1. (I tried all three but only ch.1 worked for me).

3. Use several tools. (i.e. a stick, needle, what ever you can but you need two) and hold down the reset button on both the sensor and the clock. (at the same time.)

If done right, it should only take a few seconds to start.

The outside temp is delayed at first. Be patient.

I cannot open the remote sensor for my Oregon Scientific PSM06AR.

I believe the back of the sensor slides open. There may be a faint arrow on the back that indicates the direction in which you push.

My unit took well over 24 hrs to reset. I think it has to do with the position of the satellite in relation to where you live.

Wireless thermo clock not reading outside temp

I've had a similar problem with another model, an Oregon Scientific Model IWA-80055 Wireless Thermo Clock, in which when I replaced the batteries in the remote sensor, the clock would not read the temperature from the remote sensor.
I found it fairly consistent to solve this by taking a battery out of place in the clock and putting it back in.  Unfortunately this also messed up the clock's time and date.  This is also in the instructions catalogue for the device, check and see if yours gives a similar solution.
