THE SKYSCAN ATOMIC CLOCK AND RADIO
With the SkyScan Atomic Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the
continent. It can receive the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates
less than 1 second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB,
60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be received
anywhere in the continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible
with a portable radio. It is expected that the signal can cover a distance of over 2,000
miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive the signal within the
broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally the signal cannot
be picked up in massive metal and concrete structures unless near a window. In
addition, some environmental effects (see next page) may affect the transmitting
distance.
For more information, please refer to the NIST WWVB website at:
http://www.tf.nist.gov
INSTALLATION
For best reception of atomic time signal and radio, keep your clock radio close to a
window and away from metal surfaces, electrical appliances and strong magnetic field.
Keep your clock radio at least 3 feet away from the AC outlet or AC/DC adaptor.
Plug the AC/DC adaptor to an U.S. household AC outlet, then plug the DC jack to the
back of the clock radio. Your clock radio is ready to work for you.
BATTERY BACK-UP INSTALLATION
In the event that the AC/DC adaptor power is disconnected or a power failure or other
interruptions occur, the back-up batteries will maintain the time and alarm settings.
Wake-by-Buzzer still functions by battery back-up. The radio, projection clock, LCD
backlite and the Wake-by-Radio will resume when AC power is restored.
1.
Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the clock radio.
2.
Insert 3 x AAA batteries (alkaline batteries preferred) by observing the + and -
polarity signs inside the battery compartment.
3.
Replace the battery cover, making sure the cover locks into place.
