FEATURES
Your RadioShack Radio-Controlled Clock combines a simple design with advanced technology. You can set the clock so It automatically sets the time and date using a radio signal it receives. The clock checks this radio signal several times each day and automatically updates the time and date, providing the most accurate time possible.
Your clock receives a 60 kHz longwave radio signal from radio station WWV to set and update the time and date, which broadcasts the time according to the U.S. government’s hyperaccurate atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
Your clock’s features include:
Large Liquid Crystal Display — makes the clock easy to read. The current time and alarm time, the time zone you are in, and the day of the week appear on the display.
Signal Strength Meter — shows you the strength of the radio signal your clock is receiving to set the time.
Three Languages — you can view the month, date, and day of the week in English, French, or Spanish.
Time Zone Map — let you set the displayed time for Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern time zones.
Crescendo Alarm — sounds a series of beeps that gradually increase in volume.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
Your clock requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1.Pull the tab on the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.

Notes:
•If the clock does not operate after you install the batteries, remove them and wait about 5 seconds until the display clears. Then reinstall them.
•The clock displays the day of the week in English. To set the clock so it displays in another language, see “Manually Setting the Time, Date, and Language” on Page 15.
•The clock is set to automatically search for a radio signal to set the time and date when you install the batteries. To set the clock manually instead, see “Manually Setting the Time, Date, and Language” on Page 15.
Immediately after you install the batteries, all of the clock’s display elements briefly appear, then 
and : flash. Then the clock scans for the radio signal and the map of the United States flashes for about 2 minutes. While the clock scans for the radio signal, you might see any of the following:
What You See |
What it Means |
