Product Description
This Projection Alarm Clock sets to the U.S. atomic clock to maintain absolute time accuracy. It also monitors indoor temperature and humidity, and outdoor temperature with a wireless sensor. The projection arm projects time and/or outdoor temperature onto the wall or ceiling (projection can be rotated). The time alarm with snooze keeps you always on time. Tip if you have trouble getting the sensor to work: 1.Bring both units inside and have the units 3-5 feet apart with nothing in-between them. 2.Remove the batteries from both units. 3.Press one of the buttons on the display at least 20 times to clear all memory. Verify that the display is blank before proceeding. 4.Using a good quality alkaline battery place them back into the remote sensor; making sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment. Next, taking care not to press any buttons, reinstall the batteries in the display according to the diagram in the battery compartment. 5.Do not press any buttons for at least 15 minutes after installing the batteries. (Let them establish a good connection.) 6.An outdoor temperature should be showing on your display. You can now put your outdoor sensor back outside

Comment:
I had another clock with remote temperature and loved it. I had problems with the remote no longer working so thought I was purchasing similar clock. The new one is very plastic like, with the controls stiff and harder to operate. It only has one alarm, I thought it had two (my mistake). Works okay, but still disappointed. Wish I had stepped up and spent a few more $$ for the next level up.

I love this alarm clock. Whenever I wake up too early all I have to do is peek open an eye to see if it's time to get up yet. You can also orient the time display on the ceiling in different directions which is quite useful, I think. It automatically sets itself to atomic time at night and the temperature feature is nice because it lets you know how to dress for the morning!

Comment:
I haven't started using it as the setup really freaked me out. I tried and tried and tried and the Projection was not steady. i have to press any button to get the projection working.
The manual supplied with the clock is different from one which is published in the website. One says first activate the transmitter, other says the clock.
The AC/DC adapter was little tricky to get plugged into the clock, as the plug point was ar inside.
Overall this is a good clock, especially as it displays the outside temperature. Helps me to be prepared for the outside, no need to get back inside home to get the gears.
I will prefer it for everyone...

Comment:
I was looking for a replacement clock as the projection on my original alarm clock with projection died. This La Crosse is not near as good. Unfortunately, I could not find one like my original one. The temperature doesn't do me much good as it is always off by several degrees plus it is aggravating waiting to see the time when it is showing temperature. The clock does not set itself like it advertising and it is quite frustrating setting it. You definitely have to read the directions to figure it out! I am now using two alarm clocks as I like my old one as I can also see the time on it regularly day or night very easily where the projection is the only decent way to see the time on this clock. The actual clock display is horrible during the day and only possible at night, if you press the button on top. It also has no stability and falls over with the slightest bump.

Comment:
This clock has a critical design error- must be a malfunctioning atomic time update feature, but this clock will randomly change time by an hour or two. I have been late to work a few times b/c of it and now am on the hunt for just a standard alarm clock. I have done everything the manual says and I was careful to ensure my time zone was correct and everything.
Outside of that one critical flaw, yeah it's fine. the projection feature works cool. No other issue.
