restoration of power. This will synchronize all devices. In the event power to a Transmitter is shut off and turned back on
(power cycle), the Transmitter will broadcast continuously for 8 hours. Power cycling the Transmitter can be used to
set/reset system devices. Do not power cycle a Transmitter when it's in an error status - red LED is flashing; refer to the
troubleshooting topics to resolve the error status.
Clock installation considerations - Transmitter with External Antenna
If installing clocks after the initial Transmitter 8 hour power up transmission, there are three options.
1. Install clocks between 39 minutes past the hour and 6 minutes after the next hour. They will set right away.
2. Install the clocks at any time of the day. They will set their time at the next 39 minutes after the hour.
3. Power cycle the Transmitter. It will then broadcast for 8 consecutive hours and clocks will set immediately on power up.
How to confirm an clock is located in a good signal area
Once set up, a clock should be tested at its final installation location to verify it can receive a signal from a Transmitter.
1. At its installation location, press and IMMEDIATELY release the button located on the backside of clock and hang the clock in
place.
NOTE
When clocks are being installed or signal tested, it's very important not to hold the button down too long or the hands
will proceed to the 12 o'clock position and remain there indefinitely. If this should happen, remove its batteries and wait
10 seconds, and then re-insert the batteries. The clock will self initialize and set to the correct time.
2. The clock scans all channels looking for a Transmitter signal. Once the clock finds a channel, a series of beeps emit from the
clock.
l
Good signal area - clock beeps each time a valid time signal is received, which should be once per second and will continue
for one minute.
l
Marginal signal area - clock beeps once every few seconds. A clock will work in marginal signal areas, but may have a slightly
reduced battery life.
l
No signal received - clock does not emit a beep, indicating no signal was received.
