INTRODUCTION
The Model 1600E
Using the same technology NASA employs to tell time, the Model 1600E wirelessly
synchronizes with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado. In addition to confirming the time daily, the 1600E automatically adjusts for Daylight
Saving Time. No wires, no worries, and no more excuses for being late.
About Your Atomic Clock
In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 1600E contains an antenna and a microchip.
The antenna receives the official time signal from the US Government's National Institute of
Standards and Technology and the microchip translates the time signal and adjusts the time
display to the correct time. The Model 1600E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio
signal from the WWVB radio station maintained by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). The NIST, using its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for the US and is
located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 1600E will work anywhere it can receive the WWVB
signal from the NIST. This signal is broadcast to reach across the continental US and into parts of
Canada and Mexico. To learn more about the NIST time correction technology used in the
Model 1600E, you can visit: http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/
