Note
: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.
Position Digital Atomic Clock
•
Mount the Atomic Digital Wall Clock near an exterior wall with the front or back facing
toward Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB reception.
•
The Digital Atomic Clock should be six feet from other electronics or wireless devices
to best receive the outdoor temperature transmitter signal.
Foldout Table Stand:
A foldout table stand is located on the back of the clock.
•
Pull the stand from the bottom center edge of the Digital Atomic Clock, below the
battery compartment.
•
Extend the foldout table stand and place the Digital Atomic Clock in an appropriate
location.
•
Wall Mount
•
Use a straightedge to horizontally space three screw positions on a wall to match the
hanging holes on the back of the clock. Install three mounting screws (not included)
into a wall within transmission range of the outdoor transmitter—leaving approximately
3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
•
Place the Digital Atomic Clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the
backside.
•
Gently pull the Digital Atomic Clock down to lock the screws into place.
•
Note
: Always ensure that the Digital Atomic Clock locks onto the screws before
releasing.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance
:
•
The maximum transmitting range in
open air
is over 330-feet (100 meters) between
the outdoor transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock.
•
Consider what is in the signal path between the Digital Atomic Clock and the
transmitter.
•
Consider the distance the Digital Atomic Clock is located away from other
electronic in the home.
Resistance
:
•
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
•
When considering the distance between the transmitter and the Digital Atomic
Clock (330 feet open air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush,
or other obstruction in the signal path.
•
Closer is better.
