WHAT IS AN ATOMIC CLOCK?
An Atomic clock is a timepiece that maintains accuracy up to one second per million years using the most precise method of time synchronization, radio signals.
In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) operates an Atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, that transmits the time codes via the radio station WWVB.
This quality TIMEX clock includes a built-in receiver that picks up this Atomic radio signal from WWVB. To maintain the best possible reception, place the unit so that the backside faces in the general direction of Colorado.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization will happen at night when there is less interference.
This clock is designed for wall OR tabletop placement.
We have included a wall-hanging hole as well as an integrated swing-out stand.
SETTING THE CLOCK MANUALLY
BASIC SETUP
- Battery Installation – remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit and install 2 FRESH “AA” batteries as shown here.
- Initial Setup – once the batteries are installed, the clock will power up. The display will appear as follows:
The clock will begin searching for the Atomic signal If the signal is AVAILABLE– the clock will receive the local time in 3-5 minutes. The full strength signal indicator bars will appear on the display.
If the signal is NOT readily available – you can manually set the clock and calendar (SEE MANUAL SETTING INSTRUCTIONS).
After the clock acquires the Atomic clock radio signal (this may take 24-48 hours) the time, date and daylight saving time changes will update automatically, giving you maintenance-free operation and perfect time precision.
3. Choose Your Time Zone – You must set your time zone so the clock will display accurate time once the atomic signal is received:
a. Select your time zone by repeatedly pressing the (▲) ARROW until you see your time zone displayed on the LCD screen.
In the event you wish to manually change the clock settings, please use the instructions on the following page
