Worldwide Atomic Clock

Thank you for purchasing your Worldwide Atomic Clock from RadioShack. It receives signals from atomic clock generators so you will always know the exact time. Your clock automatically updates to the current local time when you travel, and you can set it to automatically update for Daylight Savings Time. The clock’s display shows your home time, the local time (wherever you are currently located), time zone, temperature, and day of the week.

installing batteries

Your clock requires two AAA batteries (not supplied)

for power. 

1.Remove the battery compartment cover.

2.Insert two AAA batteries.

3.Replace the cover.

Battery Notes:
•	Dispose of old batteries
	promptly and properly.
		
•	Do not burn or bury batteries.

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries with different capacities or different chemistries.

•If you do not plan to use the clock for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.

setting the clock

Depending on your location, you may or may not receive an atomic clock signal. If you install batteries and the signal strength indicator (Ê) does not appear, you are in an area that does not receive a signal from an atomic clock. See “in regions not receiving an atomic clock signal”.

in regions receiving an atomic clock signal

The sequence for setting your clock in a region receiving an atomic clock signal generator is:

1)automatic signal detection

2)select a city or time zone

3)set the home time

automatic signal detection

1.After batteries are installed, the clock starts searching for an atomic clock signal and Ê flashes.

2.In about 10 minutes, one of the following abbreviations appears momentarily to indicate the atomic clock from which you are receiving a signal:

Region	Abbreviation
USA	US
UK	UK
North Japan	JP
Europe	EU
South Japan	JP

3.The local time, date, month and year are automatically set and briefly appear on the display.

Notes:

•During automatic signal detection, you cannot manually set the time. To override signal detection and manually set the time, hold down MODE, ON/OFF and SNOOZE until Ê stops flashing.

•For best reception, keep the clock away from equipment that emits RF or microwave signals, such as TVs, radios, or microwaves.

•You may need to position your clock near a window for best reception.

•The most dependable and clear signal is received at night, between midnight and 4am local time.

•The clock receives an atomic signal update every 24 hours and will update accordingly for your location.

There are 32 cities and four US time zones stored in your clock. Each city is represented by an abbreviated name, and it’s GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). GMT refers to that city or region’s time relative to the International Date Line. For example, Honolulu is ten hours behind (-10), and Tokyo is nine hours ahead (+9) of the International Date Line.
