ATOMIC TIME RECEPTION
The purpose of the atomic clock is to provide consistently accurate time and date automatically. The
radio controlled clock searches for, and periodically synchronizes to, the NIST (National Institute of
Standards and Technology) Atomic clock signal transmitted from Colorado, throughout the entire
continental United States.
• During night-time hours, atmospheric conditions improve radio signal reception. A single daily
reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within milliseconds.
• Unit should be positioned 8 feet (2 meters) from interference sources such as a TV, computer,
microwave, etc.
• The signal reception is weakened within concrete walls found in basements or office buildings.
Place the unit near the window for best reception.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the
icon
will appear. Your atomic clock is programmed to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour
between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date
will be updated automatically.
To manually enable or disable the atomic time receiver:
• Press and hold
UP
- if atomic time reception is activated, a triangular tower icon will start flashing
next to the clock icon. If reception is disabled, the triangular tower icon will disappear.

Corresponding remote sensor signal received successfully
No signals received for over 15 minutes
ACTIVATE SEARCH FOR REMOTE SENSORS
Normally the main display will automatically find and display measurement results from the remote
sensors. However, occasionally other radio transmission sources (TV, Cordless or Cell Phones etc) can
interrupt the sensor signal. If this happens simply press and hold the
DOWN
button to activate a search.
MEMORY RESET PROCEDURE
These steps will completely reset all of the parameters stored in memory.
• On the main unit press and hold
SNOOZE

The battery status of each weather sensor is checked every hour. If the low battery indicator lights up,
replace the batteries in the corresponding unit.
CHANGING BATTERIES IN THE MAIN UNIT
• First connect the AC/DC adaptor provided to the main unit to avoid losing any data.
• Remove the battery compartment door at the back and replace all batteries. Do not mix old
and new batteries.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
CHANGING REMOTE SENSOR BATTERIES
• Replace the batteries following the setup instructions for the corresponding sensor.
• When the batteries are properly installed, the remote sensor will resume sending signals
to the main unit.
• To enforce an immediate remote signals search, press and hold DOWN on the main unit.
CLEANING
The main unit and remote sensor casings can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Small parts can be
