POSITIONING

Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the atomic clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data.

To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a

North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 82 feet (25 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.

Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the rain.

POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:

There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:

•use of the foldout table stands, or

•wall mounting

FOLDOUT TABLE STAND

The Foldout table stand legs are located on the backside, at the lower corners, and on both sides of the battery cover. The hinges are towards the edges of the atomic clock, and the ends (with no hinge) need to be folded out towards the edge. Once the Foldout table stands are extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location.

WALL MOUNTING

1)Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three screw positions on a wall.

2)Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission

range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

3)Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.

Note:

Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
