the FM wire antenna fully through the small opening at the bottom case. Do not strip,
alter or attach to other antennas.
ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS:
The SkyScan Atomic Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same
as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, to
the following circumstances:
Long transmitting distance
Nearby mountains and valleys
Among tall buildings
Near railway, high voltage cable, etc
Near freeway, airport, etc
Near construction site
Inside concrete buildings
Near electrical appliances
Near computers and televisions
Bad weather locally or electrical storms between you and Colorado
Inside moving vehicles
Nearby metallic structures
LOCATION PRECAUTIONS:
This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a
window or some other location where the reception is good. Avoid the following
location, which can interfere with proper reception.
1.
Synchronization signal reception can be received in Continental USA only. In
other areas, you can still use this clock by setting the time manually.
2.
Place your clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e.: close to a window and
away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.
After the clock is powered up, the WWVB time code reception will automatically
start with the icon blinking. The clock will automatically update itself to the exact
time after receipt of the WWVB time code. This typically takes over night. Once a
successful code is received, the radio reception icon will appear on the front display.
The clock will automatically attempt to receive the WWVB signal every night at 1:00
am, 3:00am, and 5:00 am.
