HOW DOES IT WORK?
This clock receives a time signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standard
and Technology (NIST). Located in Fort Collins, Colorado, the transmitter is linked
to a cesium atomic clock, the most accurate time keeping device in the world,
with a time deviation less than one second in one million years.
Your SEIKO clock is specially programmed to interpret the signal and set itself to
the correct local time.
COVERAGE
Continental United States, parts of Southern Canada and Northern Mexico.
Geographic features, weather disturbances and structural characteristics may
affect reception. Signal reception is strongest during night time.
LOCATION OF CLOCK
Place your clock near a window and in an area in your home or office where you
receive good radio reception.
Avoid placing the clock near electrical devices such as personal computers,
radios, TV's, satellite dishes, air conditioners, etc. Also, avoid light dimmer
switches and appliances with electric motors such as dishwashers, refrigerators
and washing machines. These devices may interfere with the reception of the
signal.
OTHER SPECIFICATIONS
* Solar powered / No external battery needed
* Calendar with day-of-the-week from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2069
* Thermometer (Fahrenheit Only)
Important
* Do not expose the clock to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, water or
severe shock.
* Avoid contact with any corrosive materials such as perfume, alcohol or
cleaning agents.
* Do not subject the clock to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or
humidity. Any of these conditions may shorten the life of the clock.
* Do not tamper with any of the internal components of this clock. This will
invalidate the warranty and may cause damage.
