    What to do if my La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-AL isn't receiving a signal?

      If your La Crosse Technology Clock isn't receiving the WWVB signal, try these steps: First, face the front of the clock towards Ft. Collins, Colorado, to potentially improve reception. Second, allow the clock to attempt signal acquisition overnight. Third, ensure the clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from electronic devices like TVs or computers. As a last resort, remove the batteries for five minutes, reinsert them, and leave the clock undisturbed overnight without pressing any buttons.

      If you see "--.-" in the outdoor temperature section of your La Crosse Technology Clock, try the following: First, remove the batteries from both the clock and the transmitter for one minute, then reinsert them, ensuring they are new. Second, move the clock closer to the transmitter, ensuring it's within receivable range. Finally, move both units to another location to avoid interference from other electrical devices operating on the same frequency (433MHz).

      Kathleen DennisAug 13, 2025
      If "OFL" appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD on your La Crosse Technology Clock, it indicates that the current surrounding temperature is outside the measuring range. Move the clock to an area with a warmer or cooler surrounding temperature.
