    • K
      Kevin MitchellAug 20, 2025
      If 'OFL' is displayed in the outdoor temperature section of your La Crosse Technology Clock, it indicates that the current surrounding temperature is outside the measuring range of the transmitter. Wait for the temperature to cool down or increase until it is within the transmitter's range. The outdoor temperature will reappear on the display once the temperature is within the specified range.
