If that doesn't work try this:

I stumbled on it. Remove AC to DC power and batteries in home station. Then put batteries back in and connect AC. Remote Temperature should appear if you have the correct channel.

Answer 2

You are in luck. I had to replace the batteries in my DWS-150 & couldn't find the instruction manual to reset the time. Fortunately, I remembered a while back I had the same situation & thought I might have downloaded the manual - while it was still available. Ifound I have it saved as a pdf file on my pc. Here are some excerpts: About the Atomic Clock The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins,

Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with

an accuracy of 1 second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover a

distance up to 2,000 miles from the source. Like a typical AM radio, your

Atomic Clock will not able to receive the WWVB signal in places

surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time

signal can be affected by mobile phones, TV, electrical appliances or other

electronic interference. To get the best performance of the Atomic clock,

please install the home receiver near a window and away from large metallic

objects. If the unit is not working properly, change the unit position. There

may be some interference at this location.
