BATTERY INSTALLATION
• Open the battery compartment door
• Install 4batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching
the polarity as shown in the battery compartment.•
We recommend using alkaline batteries
• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable
batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements).
• Replace the battery compartment door.
• Connect 6V AC/DC adapter provided to the main display
unit and plug into the power outlet.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and
Technology) radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft.
Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal
continuously throughout the most of the continental United
States at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Clock in your
Radio can receive this WWVB signal through the internal
antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of
the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the
daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for
an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal
from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash
indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB
station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and
date are not set automatically, please consider the
following:
• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and radio signal reception may
improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough
to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

place the unit near the window for better reception.
ATOMIC CLOCK
Immediately after battery installation, the clock will beep
and display all available LCD segments for a moment.
Immediately the atomic time signal receiver will start
searching for the atomic time signal. It usually takes
between 5-8 minutes to synchronize the clock.
NOTE
:
Do not press any buttons on the unit during
auto search as it may interrupt product’s operation,
and you will need to start the set up procedure again.
If the reception is successful and the atomic time signal is
received, the date and time will be set automatically, and
the [ ] icon will appear on the display.
NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, the
default zone is a Pacific Standard Time (PST).
(
Refer to the
MANUAL SETTINGS
section
)
If the initial reception was not successful and the time
signal has not been synchronized in the first 8 minutes, you
may use the
WAVE
button to set the time and date
manually. (Refer to the
MANUAL SETTINGS
section).
After the clock is set manually, place it by the window for
the better reception. The atomic time receiver will continue
to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour
between 1:00 am and 4:00 am.
NOTE: Allow at least 24 hours for the atomic time
receiver to pick up the signal. In some cases, depending
on the location, it may take up to 72 hours.
