TEMP AND TIME
The Clock and INSIDE TEMP works fine, but the outdoor sensor for the temp did not WORK. The whole reason FOR THE PURCHASE, was the fact the measured value outside temp without my people from HAVING to another just Sorce INFORMATION GO. GIFTS disappointing, if not function. Grrr!

Return policy
The clock doesn’t synchronize the time due to its defective outside temperature remote. I called the manufacturer, LaCrosse Technology, and I was told that a defective remote will prevent the clock to function via radio. I find it very annoying that the company does not refund shipping charges on defective items. They charged me $7.40 for shipping me the clock and I had to pay $8.20 for UPS Ground for sending the clock back. The total shipping was $15.60 which is 43% of the price of the clock ($36). Their shipping policy also discourages anyone from getting a replacement for a defective item, because if something goes wrong again, you may exceed the price of the purchased item just in shipping charges.
