BATTERIES

Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.

Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries

manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future.

Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage.

However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.

 We suggest a name-brand Alkaline battery.

 A minimum voltage of 1.48V is necessary for proper performance.

 Use a battery dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated

earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.

 Good name-brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio

frequency) interference from the battery compartment.

FACTORY RESTART

Explanation: The factory restart returns the atomic clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and

often resolves an issue.

Factory Restart:

1. Remove the battery from the clock for 15 minutes.

2. Insert fresh Alkaline battery into the clock.

3. Manually set the time.

  This clock has manual set time. Gently spin the time set wheel on the back of the clock to set the time. MANUALLY SET TIME  Gently spin the time set wheel on the back of the clock to set the time. HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERY LAST?  A good AA Alkaline battery will last over 12 months. HANDS SPIN NON-STOP   This is indicative of a low or overpowered battery (number 1 warranty issue). Replace battery and perform restart procedure.
