Hi Phil,

I believe that I have the same clock that you have.  One thing that I have 
noticed is that if I have to replace the batteries on the outdoor sensor, I 
have to take the batteries out of the main unit for a minute or so and then 
the clock will see the outdoor sensor every time.

Anybody have one of these from blind mice?  We, meaning my wife and I, =
got one for Christmas and it all works fine except the outdoor probe.  =
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.
