INTRODUCTION
About Your Atomic Clock
In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 7500E contains an antenna and a microchip. The antenna receives the official time signal from the U.S. Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology and the microchip translates the time signal and adjusts the time display to the correct time. The Model 7500E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio signal from the WWVB radio station maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST, using its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for the U.S. and is located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 7500E will work anywhere it can receive the WWVB signal from the NIST. This signal is broadcast to reach across the continental U.S. and into parts of Canada and Mexico. To learn more about the NIST time correction technology used in the Model 7500E, you can visit: http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvb.htm

INSTALLING THE UNIT
Note: The unit has an internal battery that will save the settings when unplugged.
The unit can be used on a table-top or mounted on a wall. When choosing a location, please note locations to avoid in "Environmental Conditions" at the bottom of the page. If you are using the unit as a table-top, find an appropriate place and skip to Step 3. If using as a wall-mount, take the following steps.
Mounting Unit on Wall
The unit can be mounted on a wall using the supplied mounting fittings.
1 Install wall mount screws (supplied) into a wall 3 15/16" (10 cm) apart.
Be sure to keep about 1/8" ( 3mm) of the screw head out of the wall.
(10cm) 315/16"
Use template on bottom of page 10 if you prefer.
The supplied screws are intended for use on a thick wooden wall or wooden column. Do not use them on any other materials. There is a danger that the unit may come off if used on other materials.
2 Mount the wall mount fittings as shown on the right.
3 Plug the unit into power, and the unit is ready to use.
(3mm)1/8"
