Temperature Transmitter The batteries were dead in my transmitter, so I replaced them, but there is still not temperature...do I need to reset something else?

    Yes, I found the manual online for the clock.  It said to take the batteries out of both the tranmitter and the clock and then put the batteries back in the clock and then the transmitter.  I did wait about ten minutes after taking out the batteries.  As soon as I did that the transmitter worked again...the only down fall is you have to reset the date, times zone, etc on the clock.

    I have a simuar problem, changed batteries but still have an intermittent with two horizontal lines depending on temp or sensor??. Only two years old!! Is it a bad sensor, and if so, where can I get a new one?

  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2008

    Remote temperatue is not displayed on my Model 87800 Skyscan. I removed the batteries from the clock and the transmitter, replaced the clock batteries first, then the clock. There was a remote temperature displayed for a short time then it went blank. I checked battery voltage and current drain. The transmitteer isn't working.

    Where do I get a new transmitter, or do you have to throw the whole thing out and replace it?

    Appreciate any information you might provide.

How do I get a new temperature transmitter. After batteries went dead , I tried several times to set the system up by the directions and it still won't work correctly

  • Anonymous Jan 04, 2016

    Did you get a new outside transmitter? If so, how did you do it?) We have tried newi batteries, making sure they are dry in the oneness we charged.

Model 86722
Problem:
"--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:
1) Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.
2) Move the Atomic Clock closer to the transmitter or place the transmitter closer to the Skyscan Atomic Clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range from the transmitter.
3) Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.

How to fix clock

Do you have the manual with you?

Outdoor Temperature Transmitter not working

Sometimes, you have to remove all the batteries in the transmitter and receiver and wait a few minutes before the next step.

Then you replace transmitter batteries first and within 30 seconds, get the batteries installed in the receiver. This allows the receiver to link up with your transmitter. Both units need to be reset this way. You'll see the temperature and any other information the transmitter provides come up in a few minutes. This works with my La Crosse weather station. Using the reset buttons without removing power will not work. My nieghbour has a weather station from another manufacturer and this is also the only way that his will link up.

Can reset everything on my SkyScan Atomic Clock except for the outside temp. Have new batteries in both units. Main clock and outside remote thermostate..Any suggestions??

I expect that since the unit reads the outside temperature from the remote thermostat, there is no need to "reset" the displayed number since this data is obtained live from the thermostat.

Can't get outside temp on my atomic clock

If you still have the instructions read up on pairing the transmitter to the clock. You'll need to do that every time you change batteries on the outside transmitter. If you don't have those instructions , go to the clock's web page to get the manual for your model of clock.

I have fresh batteries but i do not get a current temperature display. i have only used this item twice and now it does not appear to be functional. I reset the transmitter also. what is wrong.

Be sure to follow replacing batteries instructions carefully. Be sure transmitter is not out of range.Install batteries in out side transmitter first. maybe this will help . I am not sure.

Remote Sensor

make sure your time is set and the atomic clock time is recieved, then leaving the rear cover off of the transmitter, push the "tx" button not the "c/f" that is just for centegrade or ferenhight. you will see the red light on the front of reciever flash in a few seconds. The temp should display on your clock screen. If not, did the red l.e.d. light on transmitter flash. If not, its not sending data to clock. I have to reset and hit transmit every time I replace batteries on transmitter. Had no problems for over 2 years of using outside. If your not getting a reading with transmitter sitting next to clock after hitting "tx" button you may have defective transmitter.
