INTRODUCTION:
The Atomic Projection Alarm features radio-controlled time, indoor and outdoor
temperature on a stylish, colorful, and easy to read display. Time and/or outdoor
temperature can be projected on a wall or ceiling. Use the integrated USB charging
port to charge your devices when the Projection Alarm is plugged into a power
outlet.
ATOMIC PROJECTION ALARM:
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:
STEP 1:
Remove battery cover from Projection Alarm, slide tab up and pull out to remove
the cover.
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included)
into the back of the Projection Alarm.
Observe the correct polarity (see marking
inside the battery compartment).
Do NOT mix old and new batteries.
The Projection Alarm will light up and
display, indoor temperature and time
(12:00).
STEP 2:
Insert the 5 volt AC power adapter into the
designated area on the back of the Projection Alarm.
Insert the power adapter plug into a wall outlet for a continuous backlight.
IMPORTANT:
W hen operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the backlight,
projection and USB charge port, will turn off while the Projection Alarm searches
for the WWVB signal. The backlight, projection and USB charge port will function
again after the 2-10 minute search .
STEP 3:
Ensure that the outdoor transmitter is within 10 feet of the Projection Alarm during
setup.
Remove battery cover from transmitter: Slide the battery
cover down and lift off the back.
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries into the TX14 transmitter.
Observe the correct polarity.
Keep the Projection Alarm and the transmitter close to each
other (within 10 feet).
Within 3 minutes the Projection Alarm will beep and then
display readings in the Outdoor temperature area.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the Projection Alarm does not display the outdoor temperature after 3 minutes,
remove the a/c power adapter and all batteries from both units and start the setup
process again.
If the outdoor temperature does not show up after a second attempt, please slide
open the battery cover of the outdoor transmitter to reveal the TX button push
down on the TX button for 3 seconds to send a wireless signal to the Projection
Alarm.
Hold the +/TEMP button and the Projection Alarm will search for the transmitter.
For optimal 433 MHz reception, the outdoor transmitter should be placed within
200 feet (60 meters) from the Projection Alarm (see
positioning outdoor
transmitter
).
Note
: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures below - 20°F / -28.8°C).
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the
exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal
can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Atomic
Projection Alarm
. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during daylight hours. The Atomic Projection Alarm will search for a
signal every night when reception is best.
WWVB RECEPTION ICON
with full signal strength will appear on screen if the
reception of WWVB signal is successful.
The tower icon is solid when the Projection Alarm has received the WWVB signal.
The tower icon will flash when searching for a signal.
No tower icon displayed. The Projection Alarm was unable to receive a signal at
this time.
Reposition the Projection Alarm for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.
Hold the -/TIME button to force a signal search at night when reception is best.
The Projection Alarm will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the
first attempt they will try again at 0800, 0900 and 1000. Each attempt will be at
least 2 minutes and the most will be 10 min.
If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only be on for 2
minutes.
If the signal is good it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes. If the signal is
marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
W hen operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the backlight,
projection and USB charge port, will turn off while the Projection Alarm searches
for the WWVB signal. The backlight, projection and USB charge port will function
again after the 2-10 minute search which occurs during the late night or early
morning hours.
Note:
In case the Atomic Projection Alarm is not able to detect the WWVB signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set.
