TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK
The atomic clock uses 2 x AA, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1.
Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.
2.
Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment).
3.
Replace compartment cover.
DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.
TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The transmitter uses 2 x AA,1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1.
Remove the cover.
2.
Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment).
3.
Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargable batteries.
SETTING UP:
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargable batteries.
NOTE: Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1.
Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the atomic clock. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
2.
After the 10 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of
batteries, wait 10 minutes and repeat step one.
3.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the manual settings below. The default (factory)
time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
4.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will automatically start. This reception typically takes
between 5-10 minutes in good conditions. If after 10 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the "SET" key to manually
enter the set-up mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The
clock will then automatically attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception
every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also
updated with the received time (Please refer to notes on "Radio controlled time" and "Manual time setting").
