ABOUT THE ATOMIC CLOCK:
The main unit has a special receiving device that picks up an AM radio signal broadcasted by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The signal is generated from the official U.S. atomic clock that is the most accurate
timekeeping device in the world! The AM radio signal transmits the exact hour, minute and second of the day. The main unit
automatically seeks for the time signal once a day (2:00am) to update to the exact time. Like a typical AM radio, the atomic clock feature
will not able to receive the signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time signal is also greatly
affected by electrical or electronic interference. To get the best performance, place the main unit near a window.
Daylight Saving Time (DST):
The atomic clock will automatically adjust to DST and back to standard time. The feature is set to "ON" during the initial set up to make
the time change. For areas not practicing DST in summer, hold the HOUR button for 3 seconds to turn it "OFF".
Manual Search for Atomic Time
If the unit has not automatically caught the daily atomic time signal within 24 hours, hold the SET button and release to activate the signal
search. The tower icon will begin to flash. The "OK" icon will appear next to the tower once the signal is received.
** Note when the unit is searching for the time signal, if the tower base is only flashing, the unit is in a weak reception area. If the tower
base and all signal waves are flashing, the reception is better.
