BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•

We recommend using alkaline batteries

•

Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries

cannot maintain correct power requirements).

•

Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the

battery compartment

•

Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Atomic Projection Clock does not work

without the batteries.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

•

Open the battery compartment doors

•

Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching the polarity

as shown in the battery compartments

•

Replace the battery compartment doors

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The

NIST

(National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station

(

WWVB

) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time

signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States

at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Projection Clock can receive this

WWVB

signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away.

Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited

during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an

alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the

NIST

Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

P.

The

WWVB

tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio

signal reception from the

WWVB

station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or

if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the
following:

•

During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically
less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single
daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy
within 1 second.

•

Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance
from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor,
microwave, etc.

•

Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings,
the received signal may be weakened. Always place the Atomic
Projection Clock near the window for better reception.

ATOMIC CLOCK

Immediately after installation of batteries, the clock will beep and display

all available LCD segments for a moment. Then the atomic time signal
receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. It usually takes

between 5-8 minutes.

NOTE

:

Do not press any buttons on the unit during auto search as it

may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start the set
up procedure again

If the reception is successful and the atomic time signal is received, the

date and time will be set automatically, and the [

] icon will appear on the

display.

NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, keeping in mind that
the default zone is a Pacific Standard Time (PST). (

Refer to

MANUAL

SETTINGS

section

)

If the initial reception was not successful and the time signal has not been

received in this first 8 minutes, you may press and hold the

UP (+)

and

DOWN (-)

buttons simultaneously to enforce a signal search Or, you can

use the

MODE

button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the

MANUAL SETTINGS

section).

After the clock is set manually, place it by the window for the better

reception. The atomic time receiver is programmed so that it will continue

to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00 am
and 4:30 am.

NOTE: At the time of the initial reception allow at least 24 hours for

the atomic time receiver to pick up the signal. In some cases,

depending on the location, it may take up to 72 hours

.

Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and the

date will be updated automatically.

TEMPERATURE AND ALARM WINDOW
