POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:
use of the foldout legs, or
wall mounting
FOLD OUT LEGS
The foldout legs are located on the backside. Pull the legs out from the bottom edge of the atomic clock, below
the battery compartment. Once the foldout legs are extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location.
WALL MOUNTING
1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 4 inches (100 mm) three screw positions on a wall.
2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3)
Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the
atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem:
The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Replace the batteries.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB signal
Solution:
1)
It may help reception to face the front or back of the atomic clock in the
general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2)
Wait overnight for signal.
3)
Be sure the atomic clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical
devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio
controlled clocks.
4)
Remove batteries for ten minutes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Avoid placing the unit in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage.
Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i.e. direct sunlight, extreme
cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which reduce the accuracy of readings.
When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
Do not submerge the unit into water.
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries
of the recommended size.
Do not make any repairs to the unit. Please return it to the original point of purchase. Opening and tampering
with the units may invalidate the warranty.
