The receiver unit has a clear, easy-to-read display that shows indoor temperature and , outdoor temperature, time, month, date, day. The remote sensor transmits the outdoor temperature. To receive the outdoor temperature, place the sensor anywhere within 30 meters; the 433MHz technology means no wire installation is required. The Atomic Clock will always be accurate to within one second as it receives daily WWVB updates. Daylight Saving Time also automatically updates so there is no need to re-set the clock manually!
