The Atomic Projection Clock has two time alarms. If any of the alarms is activated, it will sound at the set time and the alarm icon will flash

PROGRAMMING THE TIMES OF THE ALARMS

• Press MODE button to view the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 modes. If the ALARM 1 is selected, the default time “6:00” with the ALARM 1 label will be displayed. If the ALARM 2 is selected, the default time”8:00”with the ALARM 1 label will be displayed

• Press and hold button for three seconds - the hour digit will flash

• Enter the hour using DOWN (-) or UP (+) buttons

• Press button once - the minute digits will flash

• Enter minutes using DOWN (-) or UP (+) buttons

•

Press and hold FLIP button for 2 seconds again and the projected image will rotate between the time and indoor temperature information every 5 seconds

CONTINUOUS TIME AND TEMPERATURE PROJECTION

Connect AC/DC adapter provided to the adapter input to project the time and/or temperature image continuously.

BACKLIGHT

the backlight feature is activated in blue color for 3 seconds when the LIGHT/SNOOZE button is pressed.

PRECAUTIONS

This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if handled carefully. Here are a few precautions:

• Do not immerse the unit in water.

• Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials. They

may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits.

• Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, or humidity, which may result in malfunctions, shorter lifespan, damaged batteries, and damaged parts.

• Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station

(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time

signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States

at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Projection Clock can receive this

WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away.

Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited

during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an

alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST

Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:

•

During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•

We recommend using alkaline batteries

• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.

• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the Atomic Projection Clock near the window for better reception.

ATOMIC CLOCK

Immediately after installation of batteries, the clock will beep and display all available LCD segments for a moment. Then the atomic time signal receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. It usually takes between 5-8 minutes.

Do not press any buttons on the unit during auto search as it

NOTE: may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start the set up procedure again

If the reception is successful and the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the [ ] icon will appear on the display.

NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, keeping in mind that the default zone is a Pacific Standard Time (PST). (Refer to MANUAL SETTINGS section)

If the initial reception was not successful and the time signal has not been received in this first 8 minutes, you may press and hold the UP (+) and DOWN (-) buttons simultaneously to enforce a signal search Or, you can use the MODE button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the

MANUAL SETTINGS section). After the clock is set manually, place it by the window for the better

reception. The atomic time receiver is programmed so that it will continue to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am.

NOTE: At the time of the initial reception allow at least 24 hours for the atomic time receiver to pick up the signal. In some cases, depending on the location, it may take up to 72 hours.

• Use only fresh batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Read the user's manual thoroughly before operating the unit.
