Assembly and Instructions for Use

1. Unpack the product and check to make sure everything is included (Fig 1).

2. This unit is powered by a DC adaptor.

3. The battery power is designed only to provide MEMORY BACK-UP for the clock
and alarm settings. Three “AAA” batteries (not included) should be inserted into
the battery compartment if memory back-up is desired (in the event of power
outages or if the unit is unplugged). The time will be illuminated on the clock
display, however, the backlight will not be illuminated and all other functions of
the unit will be unavailable. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will
indicate the correct time, and the functions will become available again.

NOTE: Battery must be installed in order for clock memory back-up to
operate. In the event of a power failure or disconnection, if the battery is
not installed, the clock and alarm will need to be re-set when power is
restored.

4. To install batteries, remove compartment cover. Insert three “AAA” batteries into
the compartment on the bottom of the unit according to the polarity direction
indicated. Replace cover and snap into place.

5. Attach the adaptor into the DC jack on the base of the unit (Fig 3) and insert the
cord into a 120V household outlet.

Setting Time

Using the Atomic Time

The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado
broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of 1
second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover a distance up to 2,000 miles from
the source. Like a typical AM radio, your Atomic Clock will not able to receive the
WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception
of the time signal can be affected by mobile phones, TV, electrical appliances or
other electronic interference. To get the best performance of the Atomic clock, please
install the home receiver (SoundSpa Premier) near a window and away from large
metallic objects. If the unit is not working properly, change its position. There may
be some interference at this location. The Sound Spa Premier will start synchronizing
the clock to the Pacific Time Zone as soon as the unit is plugged in.

Selecting a Time Zone

1. Press the ATOMIC ON/OFF button (Fig. 3) to turn off the atomic time function.
To indicate you are at the off position, the atomic time icon (Fig. 2) will be
removed from the display.

2. Toggle through the DST/TIME ZONE button (Fig. 3) until you reach your desired
time zone. (P - Pacific Standard Time, M - Mountain Standard Time, C - Central
Standard Time, E - Eastern Standard Time)

3. Once you have selected your time zone, press the ATOMIC ON/OFF button
again to turn on the atomic time function. To indicate you are at the on position,
the atomic time time icon will reappear with flashing antenna bands. (When the
antenna bands appear flashing the unit is searching for the atomic time signal.)

4. If the atomic time icon disappears afterwards, the atomic time signal is not available
at that moment. Try setting the unit in other locations. Remember to place the unit
away from sources of interference such as mobile phones, appliances, TV etc.

5. The atomic time icon will appear on screen if the atomic time reception is successful.
(The antenna bands will stop flashing when atomic time reception is successful.)
The radio-controlled clock will have a daily synchronization at 1:00 am everyday.
If previous attempts of reception were unsuccessful, the home receiver will
attempt synchronization each hour until successful. Each reception cycle ranges
from 2 - 10 minutes.

Manual Setting of Clock

1. Press the HOUR button (Fig 1) until you reach the correct hour.

2. Press the MIN button (Fig 1) until you reach the correct minute.

3. Press the BACKLIGHT HI/LOW/OFF button (Fig 3) to adjust the backlight intensity.

Note: A PM indicator will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD
display during the PM hours. Be sure to set the time for the correct 12-hour
period - AM (morning) or PM (evening).
