DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE 
 
I)

 

BATTERY INSTALLATION 
 
Note:
 To avoid start-up problems make sure that the batteries do not spring free. 
 
A)

 

MOON PHASE CLOCK

 

 

1)

 

Remove the battery cover, located on the backside 
of the unit.

 

2)

 

Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA 
batteries.

 

3)

 

Replace the battery cover.

 

 

Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and all the LCD’s (Liquid Crystal 
Display) will briefly light up.  Then the indoor temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the weekday as “MON”, 
and the moon phase will be displayed.  Also, the time will appear as “-:--” for approximately 1 minute.  
Then the WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time 
colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected).  While the WWVB search is 
being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display.  The numbers “0”, “1”, or “8” will 
appear in the hour position and the seconds will appear in the minute display. The WS-8053U will either 
display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search after 10 minutes if the time is not found.  When the 
search is cancelled “-:--”will appear in the time LCD.  The WS-8053U will conduct a WWVB search 
every hour until the first signal is found.  Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically 
conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, 
another search will take place every hour (up to 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no 
signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will search again at 
12:00 am the next night.
 

 

PROGRAM MODE 
 

To enter the Program Mode hold down the “

SET”

 button for 2 

seconds, until “-5EST” flashes in the Date LCD.  The Program 
Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each 
function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely 
to program the Moon Phase Clock.  Complete programming is 
usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip 
step 1 of programming sections III through VIII.  Press the 

SNOOZE”

 button at any time to exit the Program Mode, or 

wait approximately 15 seconds for the Moon Phase Alarm to 
automatically return to normal operation.

FUNCTION BUTTONS

function buttons are labeled:

and 

SNOOZE.
