Atomic Analog Wall Clock

Get Started

Step 1: Slide the switch to select a time zone.

Step 2: Insert 1 fresh AA, LR6 1.5 volt ALKALINE battery according to the

polarity marked on the case.

Step 3: Position the clock on an exterior wall that faces Ft. Collins Colorado.

During the night, your clock will automatically set itself.

Note: The hands will move to the 12:00 position and search for the radio signal.

If the radio signal is not received in the first 10 minutes, the clock will start

running from the 12:00 position and will continue to run. Do not attempt to

reset the hands manually even though the time on the clock is incorrect. The

clock is synchronizing to the WWVB signal and once the radio signal is decoded,

the hands will automatically adjust to the correct time. This may take up to 5

nights.

Position Clock

 Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones,

wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors,

etc., which can prevent signal reception.

 Position clock near an exterior wall that faces Ft. Collins Colorado for

WWVB time signal reception.

 The antenna is available for signal reception when the front or back of the

clock faces Colorado.

Reset:

If the clock does not respond to the various function modes, reset the clock by

pressing the RESET button on the movement case.

Note: We recommend that you change the battery every 24 months to maintain

accuracy. Remove the battery when the clock will not be in use for an extended

period.

Manual Set Time On rare occasions in certain areas, the clock may not be able to receive the radio controlled function because of the strength of the signal or the geographic location. In this case, the clock can be set manually and used as a regular quartz wall clock. Note: Allow up to five nights for the clock to receive the WWVB signal before manually setting the time. Set the clock manually: 1. Press and hold the SET button for 3+ seconds to activate the manual mode.

Q: Why do the hands spin? A: When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the time. The hour hand should not spin more than twice around the clock. A: Hands may spin if the battery is under powered or over powered. Use only Alkaline batteries in the clock.
