Setting Time
Using the Atomic Time
The Sound Spa Platinum will start synchronizing the clock to the Pacific
Time Zone as soon as the unit is plugged in.
Selecting a time zone
1. Press the ATOMIC ON/OFF button (Fig. 3) to turn off the atomic time
function. To indicate you are at the off position, the antenna icon will
be removed from the display.
2. Toggle through the TIME ZONE button (Fig. 3) until you reach your
desired time zone. (P - Pacific Standard Time, M - Mountain Standard
Time, C - Central Standard Time, E - Eastern Standard Time)
3. Once you have selected your time zone, press the ATOMIC ON/OFF
button again to turn on the atomic time function. To indicate you are at
the on position, the antenna bands , over the satellite icon ,will
reappear flashing. (When it appears flashing the unit is searching for the
atomic time signal.)
4. If the antenna bands disappears afterwards, the atomic time signal is
not available at that moment. Try setting the unit in other locations.
Remember to place the unit away from sources of interference such as
mobile phones, appliances, TV etc.
5. The antenna bands will appear on screen if the atomic time reception
is successful. The radio-controlled clock will have a daily synchroniza-
tion at 1:00 am everyday. If previous attempts of reception were unsuc-
cessful, the home receiver will attempt synchronization each hour until
successful. Each reception cycle ranges from 2 – 10 minutes.
Note:
You can adjust the backlight intensity on the LCD screen by moving
the BACKLIGHT High/Low switch (Fig. 3) on the back of the unit.

3. The battery power is designed only to provide MEMORY BACK-UP for
the clock and alarm settings. One 9 Volt battery (not included) should
be inserted into the battery compartment if memory back-up is desired
(in the event of power outages or if the unit is unplugged). The time will
be illuminated on the clock display, however, the backlight will not be

is not installed, the clock and alarm will need to be re-set when power
is restored.

into the compartment on the bottom of the unit. Replace cover and
snap into place.
