Initialize the Clock

The Personal Series Clock comes fully assembled and sets automatically with a few easy steps.
Guidelines
Before initializing the Personal Series Clock, be sure that the Primex Wireless transmitter is operating properly with
l
adequate building coverage.
During initialization, the Personal Series Clock receives a signal from the Primex Wireless Transmitter. Primex Wireless
l
transmitters with external antennas broadcast for only 27 minutes each hour, from 39 minutes before the hour to 6
minutes after the following hour. If you have a transmitter with an external antenna, follow these guidelines to efficiently
initialize your Personal Series Clocks.
Small quantity of Personal Series Clocks—Initialize the clocks during the window in which the transmitter
l
is broadcasting.
Large quantity of Personal Series Clocks—Power cycle (unplug and plug in) the transmitter, causing it to
l
broadcast continuously for 8 hours, during which you can initialize the clocks.
Allow sufficient time so the full initialization procedure can be performed without interruption.
l
While the initialization procedure can be performed in a convenient central location, such as a maintenance facility, once
l
the Personal Series Clock is hung or placed in its intended location, verify that the clock has sufficient signal for full
operation.
Initializing the Personal Series Clock
1. On the back of the Personal Series Clock, remove the cover on the battery holder.
2. Insert 4 C-cell alkaline batteries into the battery holder.
NOTE:
Insert the batteries with the battery '+' end to the '+' end of the battery holder to achieve proper battery
orientation.
All elements on the LCD display will light up and the unit will beep once. After four seconds, dashes will appear on the display and
remain until the unit's receiver locates a time signal.
The receiver will search until a signal is found, scanning rapidly through 72MHz channels.
The receiver will look for a signal for 1 minute, and then switch to scanning in 30-minute intervals until receiving a signal.
Normal operation begins once a signal is received.

Verify Adequate Signal

Before placing the Personal Series Clock in the final installation location, verify the presence of the transmitter signal in that area.
Guidelines
Ensure that the Primex Wireless Transmitter is broadcasting during the time you are verifying the signal. Primex Wireless transmitters
with external antennas broadcast for only 27 minutes each hour, from 39 minutes before the hour to 6 minutes after the following hour.
If you have a transmitter with an external antenna, be sure to perform this procedure during this time. Alternatively, you can power
cycle the transmitter, causing it to broadcast continuously for 8 hours while you complete this procedure.
