What to do if Ambient Weather Alarm Clock sensor lost connection?
If your Ambient Weather Alarm Clock's wireless sensor isn't communicating, syncing, or is intermittent, try these steps: * Ensure the sensor is powered on and the LED flashes about once a minute. Use lithium batteries in cold environments. Replace the batteries if the transmitter isn't flashing. * Move the sensor closer to the clock, ensuring it's within the 150’ range. * If the sensor is too close (less than 5-10’), move it further away. * Ensure the sensor isn't transmitting through metal or earth barriers. * Move the clock away from devices that generate electrical noise. * Try placing the remote sensor in a higher location. * Also, RF sensors cannot transmit through metal barriers or thick walls.

The Ambient Weather WS-8400 ClearView Projection Alarm Clock is a versatile device designed to provide time, temperature, and barometric pressure information with convenient projection and color-changing features. It serves as an alarm clock, a weather station, and a night light, making it a multi-functional addition to any home.
The core function of the WS-8400 is to display time, date, indoor temperature, and outdoor temperature. It features a ClearView projection that can cast the time and temperature onto a wall or ceiling, allowing for easy viewing without needing to look directly at the display. The projection automatically scrolls between indoor and outdoor temperatures every 5 seconds, and additional channel sensors can be added to the scroll feature. The device also includes an alarm clock function with two independent alarms (ALARM1 and ALARM2) and a snooze feature.
A significant aspect of its weather station capabilities is the barometric pressure display. It shows both absolute (measured) and relative (corrected to sea-level) pressure, with units configurable to hPa, inHg, or mmHg. A barograph provides a visual representation of pressure trends over the last 72 hours, aiding in weather prediction. The graph displays pressure changes relative to the current pressure, with the oldest data on the left and the newest on the right.
The device also incorporates a unique color-changing feature for its LCD backlight. This can be set to a manual preference, allowing users to cycle through various colors, or to a "Temp Color" mode where the display color automatically changes based on the outdoor temperature range. This provides a quick visual indicator of the outdoor conditions.
The WS-8400 offers a range of user-friendly features for customization and convenience.
The WS-8400 is designed for straightforward maintenance, primarily involving power management and sensor synchronization.
