KIDS PROJECTION CLOCK CONCEPT

The split-second, precise timeliness of your new Kids Projection Clock is achieved through its pre-tuned internal radio receiver that responds to a special 60 kHz frequency time signal generated by the U.S. Atomic Clock, one of the most accurate clocks in the world.

This extraordinary timepiece, located outside Boulder, Colorado, is operated by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Your Kids Projection Clock automatically activates its receiver immediately upon battery insertion and then six times every 24 hours and make any necessary adjustments in its time display. It usually takes about 3-7 minutes for the clock to receive the initial Radio Signal and adjust the time, date and day accordingly.

NOTE : You may not receive a signal immediately. Due to possible interference, the best reception often occurs between midnight and 4 a.m.

The clock not only sets itself to synchronize its digital time and date with the Atomic clock’s signals, but it also automatically adjusts for daylight-savings time!

Your clock utilizes a small internal antenna that double as the bedside/desktop stand. (Please see the section on “Signal Strength“ for optimal performance of your Kids Projection Clock)

The successful reception of the long wave signal depends on the positioning and location of the clock. Insufficient signal strength or external electrical noises may prevent the unit from receiving a complete signal. The main reasons for poor reception are heavily reinforced concrete and steel structures, and close proximity to electrical units such as TV’s and PC monitors.

Do not become concerned if your Kids Projection Clock does not receive a signal within the first few minutes. RF appliances or radios are most effec- tive when placed near a window, and you may need to orient the clock or the antenna to receive a stronger signal. Please be patient with the first receptions of the time signal. Once the Kids Projection Clock has received a time signal, updates are accomplished with greater ease. Please refer to the Trouble Shooting section (at the end of this booklet) for more information.

The technology underlying the radio-controlled Kids Projection Clock was pre- viously dedicated only to commercial and industrial uses, including aircraft and ship navigation, broadcasting stations, and research facilities. Oregon Scientific was the first company to develop a consumer-level timepiece with alarm that can truly be called the world’s most accurate clock.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION KEYS (Figure A)

Snooze/light (Figure A.1)

A light touch on the top of the snooze button activates the unique electrolumi- nescent backlight for 5 seconds. This lite-touch feature also activates the eight- minute snooze function.

Note: The display backlight and projection function work simultaneously. When ] is pressed both the backlight and projection func-

ZONE (Figure A.3)

The Kids Projection Clock is designed to automatically adjust the time signal to the user selected North American time zone - Pacific, Mountain, Central or East- ern. Pressing the ZONE button once advances the time zone setting (see US map figure A.9). Once the desired time zone block is highlighted on the map, the time will automatically adjust accordingly.

WARNING : Do not press and hold the ZONE button for more than three sec- onds. Use the single press method to set the time zone. Holding the button will turn off the automatic time signal reception. Please see the Trouble Shooting section for further information.

ON / OFF (Figure A.4)

This button turns the alarm function on and off. Touching the ON/OFF button one time will either turn the alarm on or off. Please refer to the Alarm Setting instructions for further information.

NOTE : When setting the alarm time, the alarm is automatically turned on. If

the bell icon [ ] is visible, the alarm is “ on ”.

Touching the ON/OFF button one time will either turn the Alarm function on or off.

If you want to stop the daily alarm while leaving the pre-set time for the follow- ing days ’s wake-up, press the ALARM button. Pressing the ON/ OFF button to stop the wake up alarm will deactivate the alarm function.

MODE / SET (Figure A.5)

Press the MODE key once to switch between the display of either the Day of the Week or Seconds on the clock. Kids Projection Clock will continue to display the selected function (Day or Seconds) until the MODE button id pressed again.

IMPORTANT : Holding the MODE key for more than three seconds turns on the manual mode for setting the time, date, year and language (English/French/ Spanish). Please refer to this section for specific setting instructions.

(( • )) / 24hOFF (Figure A.6)

Press the (( • )) key once to show the alarm time.

The (( • )) /24hOFF icon is displayed in the lower left portion of the screen to alert you that the display is showing the alarm time. To return to the month and date display, press the (( • )) key once. To set the alarms please refer to the section on setting The Alarm.

NOTE: THE Kids Projection Clock will continue to display the selected function (Alarm Time or Date) until the (( • )) button is pressed again.
