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
The Temperature and Alarm Window displays an indoor temperature
and the time alarms.
TIME AND CALENDAR WINDOWS
The Atomic Projection Clock displays time in an hour-minutes-seconds
format in the Time Window located below the Temperature and Alarm
Window.
