STEP ONE: SETTING UP THE WIRELESS THERMOMETER

Home Receiver Set Up:

For the initial installation, always insert batteries in the home unit first, and then the remote sensor. Remove the battery cover on the back and install 2 “AA” batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicated. Replace the battery cover.

Remote Sensor Set Up:

Remove the bracket stand and remove the 4 screws with a small phillips head screwdriver. Insert 2 “AAA” alkaline or lithium batteries (not included) according to the polarity indicated. Set channel 1 for the first remote sensor. To enable the weather forcastfeature, you must set to Ch 1 if only one sensor is in use. One sensor is included with the base unit. Additional sensors may be purchased seperately. Set channel 2 if using a second sensor, or channel 3 if using a third sensor. To purchase additional sensors call 1-800-KLOCKIT and ask for wireless remote sensor model 00911. You can also order via the web at www.chaneyinstrument.com.

STEP TWO: SETTING THE ATOMIC CLOCK

About The Atomic Clock:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of one second per every 3,000 years. The signal covers a distance of up to 2,000 miles from the source.

Selecting the ideal location:

Like a typical AM radio, the Atomic Clock will not receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. For best reception, please install the home reciever near a window. The time signal reception is also greatly affected by electrical or electronic interference. If the home receiver location you selected does not work, change to a location in another part of the room or building.

Radio Controlled Time Reception Set Up:

The clock attempts to synchronize with the Atomic time signal AUTOMATICALLY right after the first sensor is registered. The unit will start synchronizing the clock after registering the remote sensor thermometer reading. An antenna icon appears in the upper right hand of the time section. The clock will not respond to any manual settings while attempting to receive the Radio Control Time Signal. This reception cycle lasts from 2 to 5 minutes. The antenna icon remains fixed after the clock is synchronized.

Entering The Time Zone:

After the unit successfully synchronizes withthe atomic time signal, the time zone must be entered.

• Press & hold “C/F ZONE” button on the back of the home reciever for 3 seconds, press “C/F ZONE” button to select P/M/C/E time zones. The letters appear in the area where the

seconds are shown in the time display. When you select thecorrect time zone, press the

“SET” button to confirm your choice and exit the selection mode.

P = Pacific Standard Time C = Central Standard Time

M = Mountain Standard Time E = Eastern Standard Time

The clock will not respond to any manual settings while attempting to receive the Radio Control Time Signal. Press the “SET” button to turn the reception off and to enable manual settings.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) Feature :

The DST feature is enabled when the batteries are installed. The DST icon appears as a flashing “D.” For areas not using DST in summer, select DST off mode as described under
