Location Precautions
This clock receives a radio wave signal much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a
window or locations where reception is good. Avoid the following locations, which can interfere
with proper reception:
Features
• Receives 60KHz WWVB signal
• Automatic time and date adjustment after radio signal reception
• Calendar with day-of-the-week display
• Hour, minute and second display
• 12 or 24 hour format
• Crystal oscillator frequency: 32.768kHz
• Time accuracy (radio-controlled clock): better than 1 second in 3000 years
• Time accuracy (free run): +/- 60 seconds per month
• Operating temperature from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
• Temperature measuring range from 9.9°C to 50°C (14.2°F to 122°F)
• Temperature resolution 0.1°C (0.1°F)
Getting Started
Peel off the protective plastic covering from LCD display on front of clock. Insert the enclosed
2 x AA batteries. As long as batteries are supplying power to the unit, it receives the time signal
and adjusts the time and date automatically. No manual adjustment is required after power up.
Accurate adjustment of the clock based on the time signal is supported in the continental
United States and Canada. You are recommended to leave the clock overnight to search for the
time signal, since nighttime allows better transmission of the time signal.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Radio-Controlled Clock
With this Radio-‐Controlled Clock is an extremely accurate timepiece. It can3 receive the time
signal transmitted by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic
clocks and deviates less than 1 second within 3,000
years.
The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB, 60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be
received
anywhere in the continental USA and Canada that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable
radio. It is expected
that the signal can reach a distance of over 2,000 miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your
clock will receive the signal within the
broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally
the signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and concrete
structures unless near a window. In addition,
some environmental effects (see below) may affect the transmitting distance and
reception.
For more information, please refer to the WWVB WEB page of NIST at:
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/
Environmental Reception Effects
The Radio-‐Controlled Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Just as with all wireless devices,
the receiving ability
may be affected by, but not limited to the following conditions:
• Long transmitting distance.
• Nearby mountains and valleys.
• Among tall buildings.
• Near railways, high voltage cables, etc.
• Near freeways, airports, etc.
• Near construction sites.
• Inside concrete buildings.
• Near electrical appliances.
• Bad weather.
• Inside moving vehicles.
• Nearby metal structures.

Inside or near concrete/ steel bulidings
or structures, unless the clock is close/
next to a window (with curtain open).
Close to or on top of metal surfaces / plates.
Near construction sites, traffic
lights, roadside, neon lights
etc.
Too close to household appliances
(Computer, TV, video/audios, fax
machines, speakers).

Before You Begin
To ensure proper functioning of the unit, please follow this set up procedure:
• Insert batteries for the main unit (Refer to section of Battery Installation)
• Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit and insert batteries for the
remote unit.
• Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which in usual
circumstances is 30 to 45 meters.
Note that the effective range is affected by the building materials, and where the main and
remote unit are positioned, try various setup for the best results.
Inside or near concrete/steel structures,
unless the clock is placed close to a
window (with curtain open).
Close proximity to a power station.
Inside moving vehicles (automobiles, trains,
airplanes, etc.) where radio transmission or
electronics will interfere with reception.
Too close to household electronics (computers,
TV, audio/video, fax machines, speakers).
Near construction sites, traffi c lights, street

Installation des piles
• Ouvrir le couvercle des piles de l’unité principale.
• Mettre 2 piles “AA” en polarité (+) et (-) comme indiqué à l’intérieure du compartiment des piles.
• Fermer le couvercle des piles.
Attention:
Ne pas mélanger les piles usagées et les nouvelles.
Ne pas mélanger les piles alcalines, standards (carbone-zinc)
ou rechargeables (nickel cadmium)
Ne touchez aucun autre bouton ou réglage sur votre unité principale. Il va recevoir
automatiquement la température à distance et le signal horaire après l’installation des piles.
(Voir « Précaution d’emplacement » ci-dessus)
Réception de l’horloge radio-contrôlée
Votre radio contrôlée reçoit automatiquement le signal horaire tous les jours à Minuit et fait tous
les ajustements nécessaires au réglage de l’heure. L’indicateur WAVE OK et l’antenne icône d’une
tour apparaît sur l’affi chage lorsque le signal horaire est reçu avec succès ou en pressant
manuellement le bouton WAVE.
Important:
Ne touchez aucun bouton ou changez d’opération pendant la progression de la
réception du signal. Vous pouvez activer la réception du signal manuellement n’importe quand
en pressant sur le bouton WAVE.
Note:
l’utilisation fréquente de cette fonction affectera la durée de vie des piles.
Réception infructueuse du signal
Si les mises à jour automatiques à Minuit sont infructueuses, les icônes WAVE OK et la tour
disparaîtront. L’unité essaiera de recevoir à nouveau le signal chaque heure pour un maximum
de 4 heures.
Après une réception du signal infructueuse, l’installation des piles ou après le redémarrage,
l’unité recherchera pour 10 minutes toutes les 3 heures jusqu’à ce que la réception du signal
soit réussie avec succès.
Après la réception réussie du signal horaire, vous avez besoin de changer le réglage du fuseau
horaire ou DST. Le fuseau horaire par défaut est celui du Pacifi que et DST allumé. Pour changer
ces réglages :
1. Pressez ou maintenez enfoncé le bouton SET/WAVE pour DST pendant 2 secondes.
Le réglage du DST et du fuseau horaire clignotera.
2. Pressez – pour régler DST sur éteint.
3. P pour changer le fuseau horaire jusqu’à ce que le fuseau horaire désiré s’affi che.
P = Heure standard Pacifi que
M = Heure standard Rocheuses
C = Heure standard Central
E = Heure standard Est
4. Pressez le bouton SET pour confi rmer le fuseau horaire, régler DST et aller au réglage du
calendrier. Pour sortir du mode de réglage pressez et lâcher le bout SET jusqu’à ce que
l’affi chage retourne au mode normal.
Réglage manuel de l’horloge
Pour régler DST et le fuseau horaire
1. Pressez et maintenez le bouton SET/WAVE durant quelques secondes et l’unité ira au mode de
réglage du DST et du fuseau horaire.
2. Pressez le bouton “-” pour basculer entre DST ON et DST OFF.
3. Pressez le bouton “+” pour changer le fuseau horaire jusqu’à ce que le fuseau horaire désiré
soit montré dans l’affi chage.
