Setup Guide
Step 1 – Battery Installation
1) Remove the protective film from the front of the clock.
2) Place your clock face down on a flat and soft surface.
3) Slide and remove the battery cover at the back of your unit.
4) Insert 2 x new AA batteries into the battery compartment by observing the correct
“+” and “-“ polarity.
5) Slide and replace the battery cover.
Reminder:
• Alkaline batteries are recommended for optimal operation of this clock.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard and rechargeable batteries.
Step 2 - Time Zone Selection
The time zone default is Hawaii Standard Time (HST). Slide the time zone switch at the
back of the clock to select your time zone.
The atomic clock covers the following time zones:
PST = Pacific Standard Time
MST = Mountain Standard Time
CST = Central Standard Time
EST = Eastern Standard Time
AST = Atlantic Standard Time
NST = Newfoundland Standard Time
AKT = Alaska Standard Time
HST = Hawaii Standard Time
Step 3 – WWVB Time Signal Reception
The clock will start searching for the WWVB time signal which will take approximately 7
minutes. If the first attempt fails, the clock will automatically search for the signal again
every 3 hours.
Please note: The signal reception is normally better at night and when the weather is
clear. The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is important to
manually set the time and date after powering the clock.
The clock will start searching for the signal every night at 1:00 am, 2:00 am and 3:00
am. If the reception fails, it will try again at 4:00 am (if it fails again, a new attempt will
be made at 5:00 am). During the signal reception, do not press any button to ensure
the best reception possible.
