Summary

Batteries

Battery Recommendations

Suggests name-brand alkaline batteries with minimum voltage of 1.48V and specific expiration dates for optimal performance.

Battery Life

A good AA Alkaline battery is expected to last over 12 months.

Atomic Clock Operation

Factory Restart Procedure

Restarts the atomic clock to its default state, involving battery removal, button presses, and time zone selection.

Supported Time Zones

The clock supports four North American time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern.

Time Setting and Synchronization

Explains how the clock synchronizes with the WWVB signal, potentially taking up to 5 nights for automatic adjustment.

Manual Time Setting

Provides steps to manually set the clock's time using the SET button to advance the minute hand.

Daylight Saving Time Adjustment

Details how to adjust for DST, including checking the DST selector and potential signal reception delays.

Troubleshooting Time Issues

Time Incorrect (No WWVB Signal)

Indicates a non-receipt of the WWVB signal, possibly due to electrical storms or interference.

Hours Incorrect, Minutes Correct

Suggests holding the Time Zone button for 5 seconds and checking DST settings to resolve hour discrepancies.

Troubleshooting Hand Movement

Hands Spin Periodically

Hands spinning once or twice daily indicates auto-correction of time or potential battery issues.

Hands Spin Non-Stop

Continuous spinning suggests a low or overpowered battery or a potential movement issue.

Hands Jump or Jerk

Jerking hands indicate a low/overpowered battery or a potential movement replacement need.

Hands Stuck

Stuck hands may be due to a low/overpowered battery, bent hands, or a faulty movement.

Clock Placement and Reception

Signal Reception Issues

Addresses interference from electrical storms, repositioning the clock, and avoiding proximity to electronic devices.

Booster Antenna Compatibility

The clock cannot work with a booster antenna; opening the clock voids the warranty.

Control Timing Circuit

The atomic clock cannot operate on a control timing circuit; opening voids the warranty.

Clock Positioning

Designed for indoor/outdoor use, optimal indoor placement is near a window facing Colorado.
