To Set the Calendar
1. Press SET/WAVE button after DST and TIME ZONE set mode.
2. Press + or – button sequentially to set year.
3. Holding down or – button changes the year at high speed.
4. Press SET/WAVE button to confi rm year set and go to date set.
5. Press + or – button sequentially to set date.
6. Holding down or – button changes the date at high speed.
To Set the Time
1. Press SET/WAVE button after calendar set mode.
2. Press + or – button sequentially to set minutes, when you press the + or – button once, the
seconds count resets to 00.
3. Holding down or – button changes the time at high speed.
To Set the Time and Temperature Format
1. Press SET/WAVE button after desired time set and go to format set mode.
2. Press + button to toggle between 12 hr and 24 hr time display formats.
3. Press – button to toggle between °C and °F temperature display formats.
4. Press SET/WAVE button to confi rm and quit the set mode.
Check Temperature
The temperature is displayed in the temperature fi eld. “Hi” and “Lo” will be shown if the
temperature is out of the measurement range.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not work properly, reset it by pressing the RESET button. Press the “Reset”
button when the clock is displaying irrelevant time, even when the tower icon shows. This may
happen when the external signal noise is severe enough to interfere with the time signal.
Caring for your Clock
• Replace the batteries promptly when necessary or store the clock without the batteries when
not in use.
• Note: Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different brands.
• A soft cloth or paper towel may be used to clean your clock.
• Avoid contact with any corrosive materials such as perfume, alcohol or cleaning agents.
• Do not subject the clock to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. Any of these
conditions may shorten the life of the clock.
• Do not tamper with any of the internal components of this clock. This will invalidate the
warranty and may cause damage.
Battery Disposal
• Please refer to your local rules and regulations for proper disposal of used batteries.

Qu’est-ce qu’une horloge radio-contrôlée ?
Cette horloge radio-contrôlée est une pièce d’horlogerie très précise. Elle peut recevoir le signal
horaire transmis par l’Institut National des normes et technologies (NIST), qui est réglé par 3
horloges atomiques et s’écarte moins de 1 seconde en 3’000 ans.
Le NIST diffuse le signal horaire (WWVB, 60kHz) en continu depuis Fort Collins, Colorado.
Ce signal peut être reçu n’importe où sur le continent Américain et au Canada, dès que la récep-
tion de longueur d’onde radio (AM) est possible avec une radio portable.
On s’attend à ce que le signal peut atteindre une distance de 2’000 kilomètres depuis l’émetteur.
Par conséquent, votre horloge recevra le signal dans la gamme de diffusion n’importe où un
signal AM peut être reçu ; Généralement le signal ne peut être reçu dans des structures métal-
liques ou en béton massifs sauf si l’appareil est placé près d’une fenêtre. En outre, certains effets
environnementaux (voir ci-dessous) peuvent infl uer sur la distance de transmission.
Pour plus d’informations, veuillez vous référer sur la page internet du NIST :

Effets environnementaux de la réception
L’horloge radio-contrôlée obtient l’heure exacte avec la technologie sans fi l. Comme avec tous
les autres dispositifs sans fi l, la capacité de réception peut être affectée par les conditions
suivantes :
• Transmission longue distance.
• Proche des montagnes et des vallées.
• Parmi les grands bâtiments.
• Proche des chemins de fer, des câbles de haute tension, etc.
• Près des autoroutes, aéroports, etc.
• Près des sites de construction.
• A l’intérieur des bâtiments en béton.
• Près des appareils électriques.
• Mauvais temps.
• A l’intérieur des véhicules.
• Proche des structures en métal.
What is Radio a Controlled Clock?
This Radio-Controlled Clock is an extremely accurate timepiece. It can receive the time
signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is
regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates less than 1 second within 3,000 years.
The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB, 60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins,
Colorado. This signal can be received anywhere in the continental USA and Canada that
long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable radio. It is expected that the signal
can reach a distance of 2,000 miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive
the signal within the broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally the
signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and concrete structures unless the unit is
placed near a window. In addition, some environmental effects (see below) may affect the
transmitting distance.
For more information, please refer to the WWVB WEB page of NIST at:
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/
Environmental Reception Effects
The Radio-Controlled Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as
all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the following
conditions:
• Long transmitting distance.
• Nearby mountains and valleys.
• Among tall buildings.
• Near railway, high voltage cable, etc.
• Near freeway, airport, etc.
• Near construction site.
• Inside concrete buildings.
• Near electrical appliances.
• Bad weather.
• Inside moving vehicles.
• Nearby metallic structures.
