Reposition the display for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.

The display will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the first attempt they will try again at 08:00, 09:00 and 10:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10 minutes.

If there is no signal or too much interference, the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes. If the signal is good, it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes.

If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.

ATOMIC SIGNAL SEARCH:

The LCD backlight, projection and USB charging port will momentarily turn off while the station searches for the atomic signal. After the initial search, this station will only search for the atomic signal after midnight.

Note: In case the Projection Alarm is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time may be manually set.

Manual Signal Search

In normal mode, hold the RCC button until the reception icon appears to force a search of the WWVB signal. The WWVB icon will flash during the search. If this icon disappears after the 2 minute search, the radio time signal is not available at the moment.

Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).

Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures, etc.), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado.

During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

Note: In case the Projection Alarm is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time and date can be manually set (see “program menu”).

Low Battery Icon

When this icon

appears in the indoor (IN) data reading section, replace the batteries in the

Projection Alarm.

 

When this icon

appears in the outdoor (OUT) data readings section, replace the batteries in the

outdoor transmitter.

 

Position the Outdoor Transmitter

 

 

Once the Projection Alarm shows the outdoor temperature, place the Projection Alarm and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.

Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Projection Alarm and under an overhang for accuracy. Wireless transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters) from outdoor transmitter to Projection Alarm.

Option 1:

Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.

Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.

Option 2:

Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.

Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
