POSITIONING THE RADIO-CONTROLLED SOLAR
CLOCK:

Before permanently mounting, ensure that the radio-controlled
solar clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired
location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will
decrease the accuracy of the solar 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.

There are two possible ways to mount the solar clock:



use of the foldable table stands, or

 wall

mounting

Alarm icon (((

))) (ON)

FOLDABLE TABLE STANDS

The foldable table stands legs are located on
the backside. Unfold the stands out, below
the battery compartment. Once the foldout
table stands are extended, place the radio-
controlled solar clock in an appropriate
location.

WALL MOUNTING

Install a mounting screw (not included)
into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16
of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

Place the radio-controlled solar clock
onto the screw, using the hanging hole
on the backside. Gently pull the radio-
controlled clock down to lock the screw
into place.

Note: Always ensure that the radio-controlled clock locks onto
the screw before releasing.
