Phil,

I looked at the clock in Blind Mice Mega Maul, which I think is where you
got yours.  I believe it is the same clock sold by Ann Morris, of which I
have two.  Mine have both worked well, but with the first one, I left the
temp sensor outside below zero, and the sensor quit.

First, the Alkaline batteries are only supposed to work at about minus 4 F,
and, therefore the instructions say that the sensor only works down to that.
Whatever the cause, that sensor died, so I bought a new clock and sensor.
Now the old and new clocks work off the new sensor.

I am attaching the instructions.  I hope they help.

Suggestion:
Remove all batteries and replace them. Press reset button in each unit.  It
may be necessary to do this more than once.

Good luck.

Anybody have one of these from blind mice?  We, meaning my wife and I, =

By that I mean, I put the batteries in and the main clock unit isn't =
getting a signal, apparently, and it is good for 150 feet.  I have it =
less than 10 feet away out the window.  Unfortunately, Blind Mice has a =
14 day return policy so you don't get much time to test it when it was =

return it, maybe somebody on this list has one and knows about the =
probe.  I was a little concerned upon opening it at Christmas because =
there were no instructions but even a blind man can figure this one out =
so I'm wondering, the way it wasn't packaged, that is, not shrink =
wrapped and no instructions, if it had already been returned once =
before.  I bought a staple gun at a big hardware store once and when I =
got it home, I could see the way the box was torn, it had at least been =
opened and when I started using it, it wouldn't work right half the time =
so I returned it and next time checked the packaging closer before =
leaving the store.
