POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
There are two possible ways to mount the Atomic Clock:
use of the foldout table stands, or
wall mounting
FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS
The foldout table stand legs are located on the backside, at the lower corners, and on both sides of the
battery cover. The hinges are towards the edges of the SkyScan Atomic Clock, and the ends (with no hinge)
need to be folded out towards the edge. Once the foldout table stands are extended, place the Atomic Clock
in an appropriate location.
WALL MOUNTING
1)
Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 3-15/16 of an inch (100.58mm) three screw positions on a
wall.
2)
Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving
approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3)
Place the SkyScan Atomic Clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently
pull the Atomic Clock down to lock the screws into place.
Always ensure that the SkyScan Atomic Clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Outdoor Temperature transmitter can be mounted in two ways:
with the use of screws, or
using the adhesive tape.
MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1)
Remove the mounting bracket from the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter.
2)
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three screw holes of the
bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3)
Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4)
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1)
With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting
surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
2)
Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the tape to the designated area on
the back of the mounting bracket.
3)
Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the Outdoor Temperature
transmitter in the desired location, ensuring that the Skyscan Atomic Clock can receive the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Replace the batteries.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB signal
Solution:
1)
It may help reception to face the front of the Atomic Clock in the
general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2)
Wait overnight for signal.
3)
Be sure the SkyScan Atomic Clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters)
from any electrical devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio
controlled clocks.
4)
Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone
overnight without pressing any keys.
Problem:
Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).
Solution:
1) Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are
selected.
Problem:
"OFL“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD
Solution:
1)
Move the SkyScan Atomic Clock to an area with warmer or
cooler surrounding temperature. Current surrounding
temperatures are outside measuring range.
