SETTING UP:
NOTE: Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1.
Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the atomic clock. DO NOT
PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
2.
After 10 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a
temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of batteries, wait 10 minutes and repeat
step one.
3.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, and 10 minutes has elapsed, set
your time zone. The default time zone is Eastern Standard Time (EST). If you live
in the Eastern Time zone move to step 5.
4.
To set the time zone:
•
Push and release the “
SET
” function button.
•
The time zone (LCD2) will start flashing (Default setting -5EST).
•
Push the
(+)
function button to change the default setting (-5EST) to the desired
time zone.
-6 CST (Central Time Zone)
-7 MST (Mountain Time Zone)
-8 PST (Pacific Time Zone)
(See “Time Zone Setting” if you live outside the USA)
5.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start.
The clock will automatically set itself to the exact time, day and date
after receipt of the WWVB time code reception. This typically takes over night. For best
reception place your clock next to a window facing Colorado over night. Once a
successful reception is received the Radio Reception ( ) icon will appear above the
blinking colons. Once a successful reception is received relocate your clock to a desired
location. 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.
