Note: 

When the Adapter is NOT in use, the High/Low feature is not available.

 

 
Note:

 When you 

adjust the projection, you adjust the backlight

 at the same time. 

 
Battery Power: 

Press and release the

 

SNOOZE/LIGHT button to

 

show the projection for 10 seconds. 

The projection will 

not

 stay on when operation on battery power only. 

 

Daylight Saving Time 

 

  Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric interference, it may 

take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to 
occur. 

  Check for a 

WWVB

 Tower Icon showing on your Clock. The tower icon indicates you have received 

the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the past 24-hours.  

  Check that the clock is in the correct 

Time Zone

.  

  Check whether the DST indicator is ON or OFF. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not change. 

  Check for fres

batteries

. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time picking up 

the signal.

 

  Position the Atomic Projection Alarm in a window (

with the front or back

) facing Ft. Collins, Colorado 

and leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this direction, locate the Clock near 
an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.  
 

No WWVB Tower Icon 

 

  The Atomic Projection Alarm has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24-hours. 

 

Position

 the Atomic Projection Alarm for better reception. 

  Hold the 

-/TIME

 button to send the Atomic Projection Alarm on a signal search at night. 

  Allow up to 5 nights to receive the time signal. 

 

 Projection alarm is dim 

 

Explanation:

 Most projection alarms have a gray background. Place the projection alarm at eye level, to 

determine if it is dim. Projection alarms that sit in the sunlight can develop a cloudy film over time. 

  This is generally a power related issue.  

 

Batteries 

may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from projection alarm.  

  Press any button 20 times. Leave the projection alarm unpowered for 1-2 hours. 

  Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.  

 

 Projection alarm has distorted or frozen display 

 

Explanation:

 On a brand new projection alarm, check for thin plastic film of 

printed scratch guard

 that 

may be on the screen of the projection alarm. This thin piece of plastic has printed numbers for store 
displays. When the batteries are installed, the “real” numbers show behind the printed scratch guard and 
create distortion. 

  With all power removed, the projection alarm should be blank.  

  If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard. 

 

Power: 

  Check that the batteries are installed correctly. 

  This is generally a power related issue.  

 

Batteries 

may be overpowered or underpowered.  

  Remove batteries from projection alarm.  

  Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.  

  Insert batteries into the projection alarm. 

 

 Projection alarm is blank: No letters, numbers or dashed lines 

 

  Check that the batteries are installed correctly. 

 

Batteries 

may be overpowered or underpowered.
