How should I position my solar panels to receive maximum sunlight?
Positioning is critical for solar panels to achieve maximum sunlight (and therefore the best possible charge).
First, position the panels due south in an uncovered area.
Next, attempt to adjust the the angle. To do this, consider that if the stations were positioned at the equator, ideally they would point straight up, at 90 degrees. Based on this, you can subtract your current latitude from 90 degrees to get the best angle.
Lastly, adjust for the seasons. Since the sun is lower and days are shorter in the winter, subtract 20 degrees to maximize available sunlight. During the summer, add 20 degrees.

The successful reception of the long wave signal depends on the positioning and location of the clock. Insufficient signal strength or external electrical noises may prevent the unit from receiving a complete signal. The main reasons for
poor reception are heavily reinforced concrete and steel structures, and close proximity to electrical units such as TV’s and PC monitors.

My rain gauge does not tip equally or measure properly. How can I calibrate the rain gauge to resolve any inconsistencies or inaccuracies?
The buckets, or trough, can be calibrated by adjusting the screws located directly below the trough. To access the calibration screws, you will need to remove the outer cover on the rain gauge. To do this, remove the screws on the lower portion of the cover and pull the cover off.
Once this cover is removed, you will see the trough, and two white, plastic screws below the trough. The balance of the trough can be adjusted by raising and lowering these screws.
When testing for even tipping of the trough, count the number of drops that is needed on each side of the trough before it tips. Once an even number is required on each side, the unit will be calibrated.
Even with equal bucket/trough tipping, tipping that occurs too soon or too late will lead to inaccurate measurements. To correct this, you must calibrate the gauge height.
The area of the collection funnel is 78.54 square centimeters, which means that 1cm of rainfall equals 78.54 cc of collected water. Since each tip of the bucket is equal to 1mm of rainfall, each bucketful should be 7.854 cc.
Here are some conversions to help:
7.854cc (ml) = 1mm rain = .04in rain
250ml = 31.83mm rain = 1.25in rain
500ml = 63.66mm rain = 2.51in rain
1l = 127.32mm rain = 5.01in rain
1 cup = 236.588 ml
1 qt = 946.353 l
1 cup = 1.19in rain = 30.12mm rain
2 cups = 2.37in rain = 60.25mm rain
1 qt = 4.74in rain = 120.49mm rain
or:
1 inch rainfall == 199.5 ml - close to 200 ml
1. Find out if the gauge is accurate mechanically. Regardless of whether the bucket-tips are equal or not, feed it enough "rain" (at least the equivalent of 1 inch) so that any unequal bucket tips average out. Don't pour the water in too quickly, because overflow compromises accuracy.
2A. If the rain gauge mechanics are accurate but the bucket-tips are uneven, equalize the bucket-tips by adjusting one up and the other down. Go to step 3.
2B. If the rain gauge mechanics are high or low – that is, if one of the buckets tips sooner or later than the other – adjust the offset bucket to match the other. Go to step 3.
2C. If the rain gauge mechanics are inaccurate, but the bucket-tips are equal, adjust the buckets to tip sooner or later, each by the same amount.
3. Once the bucket-tips are equal, check for accuracy (step #1) and re-calibrate if necessary (step 2C).
Perform these steps with the funnel in place.
Some tips for perfectionists:
The most accurate way to equalize the buckets is to count the number of drops of water it takes to tip each bucket. To do this, find a small container or hollow object (small test tube) that fills the buckets to near-tipping, then count the drops needed to complete the tipping. For the "high-volume" accuracy tests, fill each bucket with your container then use a squeeze-type squirt bottle to bring it to tipping. Do not squirt directly into the collection hole because the force of the stream may cause the bucket to tip prematurely.
Finally, be aware that since the unit measures in metric units then converts to inches, there will be slight variances in measured amounts. For example, the unit will sometimes read 1.02 inches, which isn't even a multiple of 0.04.

Why are the top two lines blinking on the indoor display?
This may be the result of some minor interference.
First you will need to open the outdoor rain collector by removing the two set screws on the sides. Then you will see the battery compartment that has 8 more screws that you will need to remove. Once the compartment is open, then you will need to be sure that you have pulled the clear piece of plastic out of the batteries so that they connect.
Next you will need to make sure that the indoor & outdoor units are at least 10 feet away from each other. Then you will need to press the reset button in the outdoor unit. (It can be found in the battery compartment directly to the left of the batteries. It is a hole that you will need to use a small stylist to press.) Once you have reset that unit, then go back to the indoor unit, and press the reset button on the back of it. They will search for each other, and the unit should stop blinking within the first 5 minutes.

Why does the projection of my BAR338PA only show the outdoor temperature?
The BAR338PA projector diplays the temperature that is broadcast by the remote sensor. If the sensor is placed outside, the projector will display outdoor temperature. If you would like to project indoor temperature, simply move the remote sensor indoors.

Why does the station have two pressure readings?
One is station pressure (used to calculate changes in pressure) and , the other sea level pressure (the current pressure at your exact location). You would need to set the Sea Level Pressure. To do so see the following:
1. Please see www.weather.com to find your exact pressure.
2. Tap the Barometric window two times. (The word Sea Level will appear.)
3. Hold the Set button down until the Sear Level pressure begins to blink. Once blinking release the Set button.
4. Use the up, and down arrows to adjust the Sea Level Pressure to your current pressure.
5. When the pressure is correct then press the Set button again to confirm it''s setting.

Why is the projected display upside down?
Some models of projection clocks are designed to project the time on the ceiling while located at the head of your bed (facing the foot of your bed). These models (the RM318PA, RM313, RM888 and RM813) do not have the ability to "flip" the projection image.
The following models have the ability to "flip" the projection image around:
RM328PA
BAR338PA
RRM968PA
RRM966PA

Will my Atomic Clock function in Alaska or Hawaii?
An Atomic Clock purchased in the continental United States will not receive the U.S. Atomic Clock’s signal in Alaska or Hawaii. Likewise, an Atomic Clock purchased outside the U.S. will not receive the U.S. signal within the continental United States.
All Atomic Clocks can be set manually when beyond their source country’s signal.

Will the ATC9K continuously record and re-record, or does it have a setting that allows it to do that (i.e. delete oldest footage on its memory card so the camera doesn't stop recording because of a full memory card)?
No, the ATC9K will support up to a 32GB microSD card (Class 4 or higher), but the memory will not continuously record. You will need to delete earlier footage directly on the ATC9K (see manual under delete a Video or Photo?for instructions), transfer video to your PC or other device, or use a second SD card for additional recording.

Will the Atomic Clock that I purchased in the United States work outside of the U.S.?
U.S. Atomic Clocks are designed to synchronize in the United States. It has been found that they can often synchronize in limited areas near the border of the continental United States.
The U.S. Atomic Clocks clocks will not work in Europe where a different broadcasting standard is in use. However, these clocks can be manually set for those occasions when you are outside the coverage area.

Will the Exposure Timer automatically update when the UV index has changed?
The monitor automatically measures the UV level every 10 minutes when the timer is set. If the UV index has increased, it will take into account of the new levels.
NOTE: The calculated exposure time is a suggestion only.
