  If your AcuRite Alarm Clock isn't receiving the outdoor sensor signal (no bars), try these steps: First, relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor, ensuring they are within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. Also, position both units at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics like TVs, microwaves, and computers that might cause interference. Ensure you're using standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor for temperatures below -4ºF/-20ºC), avoiding heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries. After replacing batteries, allow up to 20 minutes for the display unit and sensor to synchronize.

  If the outdoor temperature on your AcuRite Alarm Clock is flashing or showing dashes, it usually indicates wireless interference. Try these steps: Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove at least one battery from each. Ensure that the A-B-C switch on both units matches. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor, then reinstall the battery in the display unit. Let the units sit within a couple of feet of each other for about 20 minutes to establish a strong connection.
