MULTI-COLOR ATOMIC ALARM CLOCK + SNOOZE
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP
STEP 1:
• Insert the power adapter plug into a wall
outlet
• Insert the 5 volt AC power adapter into the
back of the Atomic Alarm Clock for a
continuous backlight.
• The Atomic Alarm Clock will light up and
display, indoor temperature and time (12:00).
IMPORTANT: When operating on A/C power, the backlight and USB
charging port will turn off while the Atomic Alarm Clock searches for the
WWVB to avoid interference. The backlight will return after 4~8 minute
search (which occurs during the late night or early morning hours). Then the
USB charging port will resume working.
STEP 2: (Optional battery operation.)
• Remove the battery cover from Atomic Alarm Clock. Slide tab up and pull
out to remove the battery cover.
• Insert 2 NEW AAA batteries (included) into the back of the Atomic Alarm
Clock. Observe the correct polarity (see markings inside the battery
compartment).
Note: When operating on battery power only, the backlight will come on
for 10 seconds when the LIGHT button is pressed.
• Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
• Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the Atomic Alarm Clock does not display the indoor temperature after 30
seconds remove the a/c power adapter (batteries) and start the setup
process again.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and
transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at
60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the
internal antenna in the Atomic Alarm Clock. However, due to the nature of the
Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
The WWVB reception icon with full signal strength will appear on
screen if the reception of atomic time is successful.
• When powered up, the Atomic Alarm Clock will automatically try to receive
the WWVB signal every three hours, for example: 0:00, 3:00,
6:00......18:00, 21:00, but if at any of the above times it receives the
signal, it won’t search again until next day at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00. 10:00,
11:00. When it successfully receives a time update at UTC 7:00, 8:00,
9:00. 10:00, or 11:00, it will not look for an update again until the next day.
• In normal mode, push the - button for three seconds to enter manual
searching for the signal.
• In reception mode, push the
- button for three seconds to exit searching
for the atomic signal.
Note: During WWVB reception, all buttons work. When in time set or alarm
set mode, the WWVB search will stop. When alarm rings, it will also stop the
WWVB search.
IMPORTANT: To limit interference, the LCD backlight & USB charging
functions are suspended during WWVB atomic signal synchronization which
occurs after midnight. They will resume after a 4 to 8 minute signal search.
Note: In case the Atomic Alarm Clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set in the
program menu.
