Frequently Asked Questions

•  If the clock is battery-powered and in Economy mode, it will attempt to acquire the time signal once  
  every four hours.

Whether or not a clock actually receives a signal is dependent on the settings of the signal source. For 
instance, a receiver on a locally-powered clock that uses a battery-powered clock on economy mode as a 
signal source will only receive time data when the signal source transmits it—once every four hours—even 
though the receiver listens for a signal once every minute.

When I power my clock, it seems to be running a test instead of showing the time. What is  
it doing?

Immediately after power up a Valcom Wireless Clock will run Diagnostic #4 followed by Diagnostic #2. 
After both tests are complete, it will show the time.

Can I manually set the time on the wireless clock?

No. Furthermore, attempting open the front crystal or moving the hands manually will damage the clock 
and void the warranty.
