Product Description
When is a clock not just a clock? When it provides so much more than just the time: temperature, phase of the moon, and accuracy within one second per year, for example. This handsome wall clock, with its dual LCD screens and black-accented brushed aluminum finish, is an example of household life being enhanced by science. The WS-8117U-AL can hang on the wall or stand freely, with a built-in, fold-out stand. Radio-controlled time (to the hour, minute, and second) and date are prominently displayed, along with indoor and outdoor temperatures measured in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The day of the week can be displayed in English, French, Spanish or German. Time can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour modes, and time zones from Greenwich Mean Time to -12 GMT can be selected, with three-letter identifications for US time zones. An alarm feature is useful as a timer, and, if the clock happens to hang or stand near a bed (or a couch that's used for napping), a snooze feature allows for gradual wake-up. Moon phase shows in twelve increments, from new moon, through gibbous and crescent phases (waxing and waning), to quarter and finally full moon. The clock comes with La Crosse wireless transmitter TX37U-IT. Clock and transmitter each operate on two AA batteries. For options in wall mounting, three screws and screw anchors and a strong adhesive tape are included. The WS-8117U-AL measures 12-1/4 by 8 by 1-1/4 inches. La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty on its clocks. Each clock comes with a thoroughly detailed instruction booklet. --Garland Withers

I have had this item for 3 years and it still does well. Once the battery leaked and ruined the outdoor sensor -- the battery company sent $20 to reimburse me for buying a new one.

Comment:
Much better range/reception from remote temp sensor than 433Mhz skyscan model I replaced. If anything, the temp updates too often (4 seconds), fluctuating by half a degree or so. Personally I think 10 to 15 second temp updates would be more reasonable with a bit more stability in the readings. The time reception syncronized very quickly even from middle of my house. More color choices for the side face panels (or simply removing the useless side panels) would be a nice addition. But all in all I am very pleased with this product.

La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-IT-AL- Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon & IN/OUT Temp
Easy setup when instructions are
followed. Extremely accurate clock
and temperatures. Unlike some earlier
items of this caliber, the outdoor
temperature updates every 4 seconds rather
than every 5 minutes. This guarantees a
right up to the minute temperature display.
As is the case with any outdoor thermometer,
the sensor must be placed away from the sun's
influence and properly vented. It must also
be shielded from the elements.
I've been using La Crosse Technology for years
and have always been pleased with their products.

Comment:
It's been about a month since I bought this.
It takes time to get the radio signal for clock
and the signal for temparature unit. It could have been
hours to get the clock signal. I just hung it and found everything
functional a day later.
I read a couple of reviews complained about not receiving signals;
people, you gotta wait. That is also what manual says.

Comment:
I rec'd a different brand of remote thermometer for Mothers Day - The other brand was very hard to read and was not user friendly - my father in law had this exact model so I decided to find it on line - I love the color and the use - The accuracy is right on - I couldn't be happier - and it was 1/2 the price of the brand from Wal-Mart. I definitely reccommend it to ANYONE!!!!
