Frequently Asked Questions
• If the clock is battery-powered and in Economy mode, it will attempt to acquire the time signal once
every four hours.
Whether or not a clock actually receives a signal is dependent on the settings of the signal source. For
instance, a receiver on a locally-powered clock that uses a battery-powered clock on economy mode as a
signal source will only receive time data when the signal source transmits it—once every four hours—even
though the receiver listens for a signal once every minute.
When I power my clock, it seems to be running a test instead of showing the time. What is
it doing?
Immediately after power up an SAL/SALG will run Diagnostic #4 followed by Diagnostic #2. After both
tests are complete, it will show the time.
Can I manually set the time on the SAL or SALG?
No. Furthermore, attempting open the front crystal or moving the hands manually will damage the clock
and void the warranty.
