After changing the batteries in my skyscan wall clock and transmitter, the time will not register, and the date is wrong. I've waited 24 hours for it to reset with sattelite, but nothing has happened.
Re: After changing the batteries in my skyscan wall clock...
Place the clock near a westerly window, if possible. It should only take a few minutes to reset. These clocks work using signals sent by terrestial radio waves, not satellites.

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.
Take the batteries out of the clock AND the temp transmitter. Wait about a minute, then replace the clock batteries. Wait another minute, then replace the transmitter batteries. Once the clock synchronizes with the satellite, you will need to set the time zone and whether you want DST on or off.
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.
Try changing the batteries in the CLOCK. I had the same problem in a 3M similar clock and it didn't read the transmitter correctly or eventually, at all, when the CLOCK batteries were getting low.
