ATOMIC CLOCK LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS
The Atomic Clock's LCD is divided into 2 sections and once the batteries are inserted, all the
segments will light up briefly before displaying the information for time, date, indoor and outdoor
temperatures.
Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1.
Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the atomic clock. DO NOT
PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
Indoor temperature or seconds display
Weekday or seconds display
2.
After the 10 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a
temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of batteries, wait 5 minutes and repeat step one.
3.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the manual
settings below. The default time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
4.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start. This reception typically takes between 5-10 minutes in good conditions. If
after 10 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET key to manually enter the
set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the WWVB reception (see
manual settings below). The clock will then automatically attempt to receive the WWVB time
from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception every full hour within this
time frame). When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The
date is also updated with the received time (Please refer to notes on “
Radio controlled time
”
and “
Manual time setting
”).
Note
:
In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts. Always wait at least 5 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise
start up and transmission problems may occur.
