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

to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

TIME AND CALENDAR WINDOWS

The Atomic Clock Radio displays time in an

hour-minutes-seconds format in the Time Window.

The date is displayed in month-date format next to the day

of the week in the Calendar Window.
MANUAL SETTINGS

If desired, the time, date and other available parameters

can be programmed manually. It is necessary to set your

Time Zone manually.
TIME ZONE

Option 1

• Slide the Time Zone switch inside the battery

compartment to the desired US time zone position.

Option 2

• Enter the US Time Zone programming mode by

pressing and holding the UP (+) button for 3 seconds.

• Keep holding UP (+) button until the desired time zone

(Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern) is highlighted

on the unit’s display map in the Time Window.

• Release the UP (+) button and the desired Time Zone

will be selected.

CLOCK

• Press and hold TIME SET button for 3 seconds until the

hour digits in the Calendar Window will flash

• Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) adjusting a correct hour

• Press TIME SET to confirm and move to the next

parameter – the minute digit will flash

• Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) adjusting the current minute

and then press TIME SET to confirm – the year digit

will flash

• Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) adjusting the year and then

press TIME SET to confirm – the month digit will flash

• Press UP (+) or DOWN (-) adjusting the month and

then press TIME SET to confirm – the date will flash

• 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 [ ] 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.
