Foldout Table Stand:
A foldout table stands are located on the back of the clock.
Pull the stands out from the bottom of the Digital Atomic Clock, below the battery
compartment.
Wall Mount
Use a straightedge to place one screw position on a wall to match the hanging hole on the
back of the clock. Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall within transmission
range of the outdoor sensor—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from
the wall.
Place the clock onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the clock down to lock the screw into place.
Note:
Always ensure that the clock locks onto the screw before releasing.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance:
The maximum transmitting range in
open air
is over 200 feet (60 meters) between the
outdoor sensor and the clock.
Consider what is in the signal path between the clock and the sensor.
Consider the distance the 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 sensor and the clock (200 feet open air) cut that
distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path.
Closer is better.
Do not mount the sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the sensor and the clock.
Sometime a simple relocation of the sensor or the clock will correct the interference issue.
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Stucco is held to the wall by a metal mesh.
Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military base etc.)
Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
