Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items sent in
under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration
date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage
longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
 We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
 A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
 Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six years
from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
 Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment.
Atomic Digital Clock Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the Atomic Digital Wall Clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and often
resolves an issue.
