BATTERY INSTALLATION

Open the battery compartment door

Install 4batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching

the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.• We recommend using alkaline batteries

Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements).

Replace the battery compartment door.

Connect 6V AC/DC adapter provided to the main display unit and plug into the power outlet.

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 Clock in your Radio 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.

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

interference in a residential installation. This equipment, installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to improve or correct turning the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

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 unit near the window for better reception.

ATOMIC CLOCK

Immediately after battery installation, the clock will beep and display all available LCD segments for a moment. Immediately the atomic time signal receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. It usually takes between 5-8 minutes to synchronize the clock.

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 [Atomic Clock with AM/FM Radio] icon will appear on the display.

NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, the default zone is a Pacific Standard Time (PST). (Refer to the MANUAL SETTINGS section)

If the initial reception was not successful and the time signal has not been synchronized in the first 8 minutes, you may use the WAVE 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 will continue to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour between 1:00 am and 4:00 am.

NOTE: 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.
