Solved: La Crosse Technology Clock Outdoor Sensor

I am addicted to checking the temperature on our clock.  Every time I go downstairs I take a look at the temperature.  Is the indoor temperature acceptable?  Should I be opening the windows, or using the A/C?  It gives me control of my environment.

If you aren't familiar with the clock, it is a simple wall-mounted atomic clock that displays the indoor & outdoor temperatures, as well as the time that is synchronized with the atomic clock.  There is a battery operated sensor that mounts outside to transmit the outdoor temperature to the main clock.

Recently our La Crosse Technology clock stopped registering outdoor temperatures!

Initially I assumed the battery in the outdoor sensor died so I changed the battery.  The Outdoor temperature still wouldn't register so I left it for a few days....still no luck.  I was getting ready to contact the manufacturer to see what I could do when I found the solution.

On the back of the main unit, there are instructions for synchronizing the unit:

1) insert batteries in remote transmitter

2) insert batteries in receiver

3) wait until outdoor temp is rec'd before setting time.
