Sometimes the RF frequency from the outside transmitter loses contact with the clock's frequency ( it has happened to me only twice in 6 years ), and then the outside temp will not show. Simple solution to fix this is: Take down the outside transmitter and the internally mounted clock. Remove batteries from both. Wait about 10 mts. First install batteries in the transmitter, then after about 30 seconds, install batteries in the clock. In about 5 mts, you will find the clock showing the external temp like before.

I'm having the same problem and can't find an answer. Seems this also happened with another model we had - planned obsolescence? It was working fine, flashing due to low battery. Now, nothing from outside. Annoying.

    If you are replacing the batteries on the remote, also remove the batteries in the base. The remote batteries must be installed first, then the batteries in the base.

    I had the same issue. I opened the base, pulled a battery out and put it back in, and now it works fine. The same thing happens whenever the base loses signal from the remote (such as blockage or whatever)....the base has to be reset to reacquire the signal from the remote.
    Why didn't they just put a reset button on the base (to save opening the case each time)?

    I had tried that before, and tried it again now, and again no success. My model does have reset buttons, on both outside and inside base units; i punched them to no avail.

    Use Lithium batteries, they still work in the cold.

Radio Shack outdoor thermometer remote sensor 63-1026 reads LL.L Replacing batteries and reset didnt help. How to fix?

Try cleaning the outdoor thermometer transmitter unit by opening it up enough to spray compressed air (Ultra Duster or similar) on the temperature sensor. It fixed the hh.h error for me.

Radio Shack 63-1090 indoor/outdoor temperature unit. Won't give outdoor readings. Temps are cold, -5F but it always worked before. Put in new batteries in the inside and outside units, wiped outdoor sensor...

Did you reset the sensors after replacing the batteries? Bring the sensor inside and close to the main unit. Replace batteries on both units. Use a thumb tack and stick it into small reset hole near battery compartment to reset both units. If that doesn't work, your sensor needs more troubleshooting or needs to be replaced.
