Set Up Manual Setting Analog Clock (Battery-operated)
Before setting up a Manual Setting Analog Clock (Battery-operated), verily the Transmitter is broadcasting.
NOTE
For use with a Transmitter with an External Antenna, power down the Transmitter down for 30 seconds and power it back
up. This sets the Transmitter to broadcast its signal continuously for 8 hours. Verify the Transmitter is displaying the
correct time day and date with channel number in the lower right corner of its front LCD display.
How to set up (initialize) a Manual Setting Analog Clock.
1. Using the gray set wheel on the back of the clock, move the clock hands to display the approximate time to within 20 minutes
prior to correct time at its install location.
When setting the approximate time, move the hands in the forward (clockwise) direction and end with the minute hand
located at the appropriate location in relation to the second hand, which does not move during the setting procedure. For
example, if the second hand is pointing to the 6, then the minute hand should be halfway between minute marks. If the
second hand is at the '12', then the minute hand should be placed on the minute mark.
2. Stretch the battery tabs in the battery holder out slightly to apply more pressure to the battery contacts, then insert two
alkaline batteries into the battery holder. If replacing batteries, they must be new, superior-quality alkaline batteries with an
expiration date that exceeds five years past the current year.
It's important to insert the batteries with the battery '+' end to '+' end of the battery holder to achieve proper battery
orientation.
Once the batteries are properly inserted, the second hand begins moving one step every second.
2. When the second hand gets exactly to the "12" position, press and release the button located on the back of the clock. The
clock emits two beeps.
3. Wait until the second hand crosses the minute hand and is precisely at the minute mark that the minute hand is moving to,
then again press and release the button.
The clock emits two beeps and the second hand will start to double-step (taking two steps every other second).
l
The clock continues to double-step every other second until the clock receives and decodes a valid time signal from the
Transmitter. The clock searches through all channels one at a time, beginning with channel #1, for a time signal.
l
The clock should receive the signal between 1 second and 45 seconds after the above procedure is complete. Once a valid
time signal has been received, the clock either advances at 8 times normal speed or slows down to half normal speed until the
hands display the accurate time.
l
Once the clock receives the precise time, it beeps and continues to beep with every valid received signal for the next minute. If
the clock is in a good signal area, it beeps every second. If the clock is in a marginal signal area, it beeps every few seconds.
The clock setup is now complete.
