FOLDOUT TABLE STAND 

 

The Foldout table stand legs are located on the backside, at the 
lower corners, and on both sides of the battery cover. The hinges 
are towards the edges of the  Atomic Clock, and the ends (with no 
hinge) need to be folded out towards the edge. Once the Foldout 
table stands are extended, place the Atomic Clock in an appropriate 
location. 

 

 

 

WALL MOUNTING

 

1)  Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three 

screw positions on a wall.   

2)  Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission 

range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

 

3)  Place the Atomic Clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the 

backside. Gently pull the Atomic Clock down to lock the screws into place.    

 

Note:

 

Always ensure that the Atomic Clock locks onto the screws before releasing. 

 

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER 

The Outdoor Temperature transmitter can be mounted in two ways: 

 

with the use of screws, or using the adhesive tape. 

 

MOUNTING WITH SCREWS 

 

1) 

Remove the mounting bracket from the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter. 

2) 

Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three 
screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil. 

3) 

Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface. 

4) 

Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the 
screws are flush with the bracket. 

 

 
 
 
MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE 

1)  With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting 

bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The 
mounting surface should be smooth and flat. 

2)  Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the 

tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket. 

3)  Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position 

the Outdoor Temperature transmitter in the desired location, 
ensuring that the Atomic Clock can receive the signal. 

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

Problem: 

The LCD is faint. 

Solution: 

1)   Replace the batteries. 

Problem: 

No reception of WWVB signal 

Solution: 

1)  It may help reception to face the front of the Atomic Clock in the general 

direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. 

2)  Wait overnight for signal. 
3)  Be sure the  Atomic Clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical 

devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks. 

4)  Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone 

overnight without pressing any keys. 

Problem: 

Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct). 

Solution: 

1)    Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected. 

Problem: 

"OFL“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD 

Solution: 

1)  Move the Atomic Clock to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding 

temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring 
range. 

Problem: 

"--.-" appears in the outdoor  temperature section of the LCD. 

Solution: 

1)  Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them 

again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.
