In this article, we will show you how you can fix projection image issues with your projection clock using some simple tricks. So, without any further ado, let’s solve the issue.

Why Oregon Scientific Projection Clock Not Projecting?

There can be several reasons why your Oregon Scientific Projection clock is not projecting. It can happen if you haven’t activated the projection.

Also, the function won’t work even after activating it unless you connect the AC/ DC adapter that is supplied with the projection clock.

Let’s see how you can allow your Oregon scientific projection clock to display on the wall.

How to Enable Projection Unit on Oregon Scientific Projection Clock?

To let the projection unit function work on your Oregon scientific projection clock, you need to connect the AC / DC adapter to the device. Follow the steps below to allow the clock to project the time and temperature:

Step 1: Connect AC Adaptor

A 4.5V AC / DC adapter is supplied with your main unit.

• First, you need to plug the adapter into the AC outlet.
• Then, remove the battery cover from the back side of the clock and you’ll see the AC / DC port to the left of the batteries and the reset hole.

• Now, plug the AC / DC adapter into the port on your projection clock while running the wire of the adapter through the small wire socket below the port.

Step 2: Activate the Projection Unit

To activate the projection unit, you need to slide the PROJECTION switch to ON. If this won’t start the projection, then press the SNOOZE or LIGHT button for 8 seconds until the clock starts projecting both the date and outdoor temperature.

If this won’t project time and temperature, then follow the instructions from the next segment below in this article.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Do I Reset My Projection Alarm Clock?

If your projection clock uses batteries only, then press and hold the SNOOZE / LIGHT button for 3 seconds. If the display of the clock appears distorted, then you need to press the reset button. The reset button is located inside the battery compartment of a projection alarm clock.

How Do I Adjust the Focus of the Projection Beam on an Oregon Scientific clock?

First, rotate the projection arm to aim at the wall. Once the time is projected, rotate the focus dial towards the side of the projection arm until you can read the time easily. If the projection is still blurry, try cleaning the projection lens.
