TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK 

 
THE ATOMIC CLOCK USES 2 X AA, 1.5V BATTERIES. Alkaline batteries are recommended. Avoid using 
rechargeable batteries. TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES, PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEPS 
BELOW:  
 
1.

 

Remove the cover. 

2.

 

Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). 

3.

 

Replace compartment cover. 
 

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK. 
 
SETTING UP:  
 

1.

 

The default (factory) time zone is Eastern Standard Time. If you are not in the Eastern Standard Time zone, 
set your time zone using the manual settings below. 
 

2.

 

The WWVB time code reception will automatically start. This reception typically takes between 5-10 
minutes in good conditions or overnight in poor conditions or long distances from Colorado. If after 10 
minutes, the WWVB time has not been received, use the 

“SET”

 key to manually enter the set-up mode and 

change either the time or date in order to activate the WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The 
clock will then automatically attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day 
(attempts WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the received 
time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time (Please refer to 
notes on “

Radio controlled time

” and “

Manual time setting

”). 

 

Note

In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. 
Always wait at least 10 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and 
transmission problems may occur.
