  I have another automatic adaptation of the atomic time digital clock with large screen that I bought years ago at Radio Shack that is similar, but only the internal temperature. I liked the remote outdoor temperature sensor function and displays moon phase, so I decided to buy this brand of La Crosse as an upgrade. The automatic update and self-adjusting nature of these extremely accurate atomic digital clocks is what really makes them different from less accurate clocks traditional quartz. After going through the same process I must stress how important it is that the instructions in the instruction manual is always exactly follow when setting up this watch.
  Here are some tips for getting the best results. Install the batteries in the remote temperature sensor before installing the batteries from the unit. I have read in other reviews that the Energizer lithium or similar non-rechargeable lithium batteries work best for longer life and to sustain for more time freezing cold outside. Start by placing the sensor outside within a feat that few of the main unit so that they can synchronize and transfer knowledge of outdoor sensor is working properly. What I did was to manually configure the first atomic clock, and auto-time feature is supposed to adjust the time later but make sure you have the correct time zone and daylight savings time set for your location. I manually within two minutes faster than my atomic clock and sure enough there were other times adjusted automatically and that fit perfectly with my other atomic clock for the next day.
  Make sure the clock is a place to receive the atomic clock radio signal. Thick concrete walls, basements, extreme weather, and time of day can alter the capacity of transmitting atomic radio signal (which bounces off the atmosphere) to arrive at this watch. If not updated immediately make sure you have exited setup mode (usually done by pressing the snooze button, once after being in configuration mode). Give at least a day to see if it does in fact auto update the time of the radio signal to be received. If not in line with the correct time after the watch is in another place that has less potential obstacles in the direction of heaven to the readings of atomic radio signals are not inhibited. There will be a small symbol of a digital radio signal on the LCD, including the time after it has updated and has been able to properly receive the signal.
  Choosing a good location for the outdoor temperature sensor is also important for its proper functioning. Having confirmed that works near the clock and the clock is set correctly try putting the remote sensor on the outside temperature in a signal that they believe will be capable of reaching the clock. The instructions say that the maximum range of the remote sensor is 300 feet, but I would recommend setting it up closer to or within fifty feet, if possible. Before mounting the sensor to ensure it is in fact properly updating the outside temperature reading on the internal clock. Thick concrete walls and metal shutters can block the signal strength in order to try to install the remote sensor on the outside temperature as close as possible and in line of sight with the clock as you can, while aware of the obstacles that could block the radio signal.
  The quality of the reading of the outdoor temperature will be determined by having a good location for the remote sensor outdoors. The sensor is not waterproof so do not get wet, should not direct sunlight, or being in a place with direct wind or excessive time. Here are some ideas about finding a good location to mount the sensor. You want to choose a sheltered place in the shadow side of your house with a location below the deck. His late December in California and I first installed my remote sensor temperature not far from the inner wall where the clock was only just out over a large glass window size. It was a good place to avoid direct sunlight and it was protected from rain by the top of the window frame, but I thought it was not enough heat to escape through the window glass to increase the temperature sensor so minus five degrees F. I took down and placed in a chair outside the window and the temperature fell to its correct reading. I searched for a better place than not take the heat out of the house. I found one around the corner of the house that was close in the distance to the internal clock and just below the eaves, but protected from rain, wind and sun. and using the screws provided for mounting on wood siding of the house. The plastic mounting hardware keep the sensor more freely floating in the air. It also places a separate wooden screw directly under the sensor to sit in just to make it safer.
  This seems to be a good product with great features for the money. Internal clock readings are easy to see. The screen phase of the moon was a little confusing at first. Apparently, it shows the black shading corresponds to the brightness of the moon. My older atomic clock has the configuration buttons at the back, while this model has them in front. This made the installation and adjustment of the clock mark Crosse much easier than my other atomic clock. I will find out if the claims of battery life and reliable operation are met within the coming months, but so far it seems a good product. The only issue I would point out is that you first notice the temperature sensor inside the clock reading about one to one and a half degree higher than my older atomic clock. This difference could be explained by the La Crosse clock can display the temperature in tenths of a degree F accuracy, while the clock of my older shows only within a F accuracy. The clock from La Crosse is also able to update more often, which means that you sometimes see the temperature display range from half a degree F to an F grade several times per minute. The air temperature within an area of life often changes and varies as the air moves around the work of fans, air conditioners, heaters, doors opening, etc..
  There are other models of La Crosse atomic clocks available in a different (desktop size, design of wood, traditional analog-style, etc) with more features including the ability to weather forecasting, more sensors, humidity, remote sensor second etc, but the Base model with indoor and outdoor temperature sensing, moon phases, date and time does not seem to work well. Given the exacting nature of the creation of outdoor sensor and the fact that the outdoor sensor is not waterproof I lowered my rating a star of the highest rating of five stars. Big screen still recommend this La Crosse atomic clock and think it's an excellent value for money.

  The " La Crosse Atomic Digital Wall Clock " is a very attractive device that can be hung on the wall or placed on the desk / table / counter with folding legs included.
  The unit comes with a transmitter for reading out the sample temperature and unity within the readings, both inside and outside. We found it very accurate and has a very good range (over 100 'of the house).
  Our unit keeps perfect time, and also displays date, weekday, and moon phase.
  The clock and transmitter each take 2 AA batteries (not included).
  This has been a practical device and well worth the price. Recommended!

Verified Amazon purchase (What is this?) This watch keeps immaculate time and is handsome too. All I want to do is add an anti-glare covering, as it is difficult to read when the sun hits. It looks good with the rest of my furniture. Time is readable at any distance, but we must come to see the date, day and temperatures. The phase of the moon is a great topic of conversation recently and is fun to see what phase the moon is as it moves through the watch face.
