SkyScan Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

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.

ASK MAKER FOR THE MANUAL GOOGLE FAILS SO.

1) Pull the batteries and replace them, or gently insert a straightened paper clip into the "reset" hole in the back of the clock. The clock will beep.

2) Press the "receive" button" so the clock sets itself. The default time zone will be "EA".

3) Press the "adjust" button untill the time zone is showing (rather than the day-of-the-week).

4) Press and HOLD the "set" button down untill the hours digits start to flash.

5) Now press the "set" button again six times. The time zone characters will flash.

6) Press the "adjust" button untill your time zone appears.

7) Press the "mode" button to return the clock to normal operation.

8) Press the "adjust" button to display the day-of-week.

URGH. Have a Sio/Scan Equity 81690 automic clock weather station, which I really like. Problem is the remote transmitter. Searched many times, can't find a replacement. The cosmetics of the remote transmitter isn't important to me, as long as it functions. Any ideas? Mike

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!

check time zone setting

If you're down in hole, or if the signal is somehow otherwise blocked, the clock may never sync with WWVB. Otherwise, you need to try it in different locations and facing in different directions. Some folks place the clock outside once a week or so, and face it towards Colorado to pick up the signal.

I just fooled around with the settings on the back of the clock and now I think I have it. It may or may not work.

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

Successful reception of the time-synchronization radio signal is indicated by a radio waves icon to the right of seconds in the upper section of the display. After synchronization occurs, you can select your continental U.S. time zone (EST, CST, MST, or PST) by means of a switch on the back of the clock.

When the clock is NOT trying to sync with the atomic clock in Denver, press the + button to change the time zone. The default is P (pacific time).
