What is the external display for? Mine is stuck on "10:24 AM" and the signal and battery icons don't look real. The manual says nothing about it.

it has a little plastic sticker covering the new screen.. Peel it off !! (I did the same thing) HA

The icons don't look real, because there are not. It is just a picture to make it look expensive, and it's not good for anything.

Not sure but there may be plastic on the display that needs to be peeled off.

Sounds like a defective lcd display. The one I received worked right away. U may want to exchange it. Sorry about the tools. They weren't that great. Luckily I had my own.

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

mine won't even turn on. I don't know if the indicator light is just weak or what but right now its doa. and what do you do when the battery runs out?

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

Mine works great and always has. The fact that a display cycles probably means that you have it hooked up wrong. In normal operation, one bar stays lit or flashes when low. Remember that the positive and negative have to ALWAYS be hooked up to your battery pos. and neg. I've got a switch on mine to turn off the display but it's not really needed. One user says "The C is for your switch to turn on the indicator, with my application, I ran a wire and connected it directly with the positive terminal for the indicator, beings I want to be able to kill power to the entire indicator when not in use. Prolly wasn't needed but that was my choice and it works great. The R is unused and I think I read that it's not commonly used." On mine, I think that means that when I installed it I hooked pos to battery pos and neg to battery neg. Then I hooked a wire from C to my switch and back from the positive pole on my switch to neg on the indicator. If you don't put in a switch, then I believe C just gets hooked straight to positive so that the unit will display.

You're having to reset the time because you are unplugging it from the constant power supply. It has no internal battery system, so if you want to keep the correct time you will have to keep the unit plugged into a constant power outlet.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

No, not completely. At least not that I'm aware of. When it's been idle for a little while, it goes into a standby mode where it displays BC 5.12 (the model number) and the current time.

I chiecked with Invellop. The wake/sleep problem is now fixed. The following is their reply. Yes, it has been fixed. The black once is available at this moment, and colored once will be available this Saturday. Sincerely, INVELLOP

It is showing this because the battery is third party and not supported. Mine does the same thing and I'll be returning it.

Mine came displaying 12 hour time, and when I first pressed the button to set it, it switched to 24 hour time. But then about a year later, when I reset it for DST, it switched back to 12 hour time, and nothing I did would switch it back. Sorry I can't help. Somebody is making a fortune off of these clocks, because they have about $5-10 worth of parts in them.

I had that problem, too. I was told to take battery out for an hour or more, and then put it back in. It still didn't work. I returned the scale.

Hi Christopher: the time display is large and easily visible when the radio is off. When you are using the radio the time is in the lower left portion of the monitor and is pretty small. Hope this helps.

Your display should have a blue background and should be super easy to read. Perhaps try replacing the battery and if that doesn't work, I'd request an exchange.
