Where can you get the rechargeable alkaline batteries that come with it ? When mine started losing charge, I switched over to using alkaline batteries. I doubt using rechargeable nickel metal-hydride probably because it won`t work or be compatible with the clock.
Hey Darrell, great question! Unfortunately, this model clock has been retired for some time and we no longer have replacement rechargeable batteries available for it. If you're interested in upgrading to something newer, we'd be happy to get you a discount toward that upgrade. Simply message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page to make that happen. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I can reset mine, didn't set it to dsl at first but now the thing won't reset after taking out the battery flipping the switch back and forth. The buttons do nothing
I had to put in a fresh battery and set the time accordingly. After doing so, I don’t see a signal icon from Fort Collins, CO. to show its receiving the signal. Will it eventually show?
If your clock was previously synced with the WWVB radio transmission, it will likely sync up again soon. This can sometimes take a few days depending on your location.
Unfortunately, no. This model was designed to use the included rechargeable alkaline battery, or standard AA alkaline battery. Please note that if switching from one or the other, the switch on the back will need to be adjusted appropriately. Instructs for this can be found in the full manual here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/w/t/wt-8029u.pdf

"You can save money on batteries by only putting them into your clock when you want to know the time."
I found a mistake. If you want the screen to be ON all the time, you need to set solar mode to OFF, not ON, like this video says.

Using rechargeable battery with solar panel would be great
My display is going dark. Had this clock a number of years and it works well, even the battery. Now what can I do about the LCD background going dark?

can the clock take a lithium ion battery 3.7 volts?

Mine took about 5 minutes, then it showed everything right automatically , time, date, temperature, humidity and day of the week.
