Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
MOUNT
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within
range
of the Digital Atomic Clock and
under an overhang for accuracy.
Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving approximately ½ inch (12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
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 out 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 200-feet (60 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 (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 transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock.
