SECTION 1 • SETUP
Install BatteriesRemove the battery compartment cover and install 2 fresh “M” batteries as shown here.
Basic SetupAfter installing batteries, it is recommended that you set the clock and calendar initially. After the atomic clock signal is acquired, which may take up to 24 hours, the clock accuracy and daylight saving time changes will be automatically maintained.About the Atomic ClockA clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a million years. Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this accuracy by receiving a signal from an atomic clock. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via the radio station WWVB. The TIMEX®clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver that picks up the signal from the WWVB station. For the best possible reception, place the main unit with the backside facing Colorado. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when there is less interference.

Troubleshooting
|
Problem |
Possible Solution |
Bad Atomic Clock Reception no bars |
Relocate the main unit. It is important that the backside of the clock is facing the state of Colorado for optimum reception. Make certain there are no large stone or metallic surfaces disrupting the signal line-of-sight to Colorado. Make sure the main unit is placed at least 3 feet [0.91 ml from other electronic appliances and devices that may interfere with the wireless communication [such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc]. Large metallic surfaces will interfere with the atomic clock signal. |
| Display Not Working | Make certain that the batteries are installed correctly.The batteries may need replacing. |
