INTRODUCTION:
This Atomic Digital Wall Clock features radio-controlled time, and date that is set
automatically and displays indoor and outdoor temperature. The large time digits (4
¼ inches) are easy to read from across the room.
ATOMIC DIGITAL WALL CLOCK:
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:
Step 1:
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries
Remove battery cover from Atomic Digital
Clock, slide tabs down and pull out to
remove the cover.
Insert 3 NEW C batteries (not included)
into the back of the Atomic Digital Clock.
Observe the correct polarity (see marking
inside the battery compartment).
The Atomic Digital Clock will show, time
(12:00) date (1/1) and indoor
temperature.
Step 2:
Remove the screws, then battery cover from the back of
the KW5012FSK transmitter.
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the
transmitter. Observe the correct polarity.
Keep the Atomic Digital Clock and the transmitter close to
each other (within 10 feet) for 15 minutes.
Within 3 minutes the outdoor temperature should be
displayed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
After waiting 3 minutes, if the outdoor temperature does not show up in the
designated area on the Atomic Digital Clock, hold the SEARCH button for three
seconds to search for the transmitter.
Press the TX button on the KW5012FSK transmitter (under the battery cover).
If holding the SEARCH button fails to find the outdoor temperature reading,
remove batteries from both units for 15 minutes and restart from step 1.
For optimal reception performance, of the 915 MHz signal, the outdoor
transmitter should be placed within 330 feet (100 meters) from the Atomic Digital
Clock.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the
exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal
can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Atomic
Digital Clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during daylight hours. The Atomic Digital Clock will search for a signal
daily at 2AM when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from
the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado.
WWVB RECEPTION ICON
A tower with full signal strength will appear on screen if the reception of atomic time
is successful.
The tower icon will show solid when the Atomic Digital Clock has received the
WWVB signal.
The tower icon will flash when the Atomic Digital Clock is searching
for the WWVB signal.
No tower icon shows. The Atomic Digital Clock was unable to receive a signal at
this time.
Reposition the Atomic Digital Clock for better signal reception or try again at
bedtime.
The Atomic Digital Clock will start searching at: 02:00 and if no reception on the
first attempt they will try again at 03:00, 4:00, and 5:00.
Manual Search: Hold the button to start a manual signal search. If the search
fails, the Atomic Digital Clock will automatically search again the next full hour.
Note: In case the Atomic Digital Clock is not able to detect the WWVB signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set with the
program menu.

POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
The remote temperature transmitter should be mounted vertically to avoid damage.
Place both units in the desired shaded locations, and wait approximately 1-hour
before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper
reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof
and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to
standing water or snow.
Wall Mount
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Atomic Digital Clock
and under an overhang for accuracy.
Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leaving
approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on
the backside.
To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct sunlight
cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter
on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an eave or
deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is
over 330-feet (100 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows,
stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
POSITIONING THE CLOCK:
The Atomic Digital Clock should be mounted near an exterior wall with
the front or back facing toward Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB
reception. The Atomic Digital Clock should be six feet from other
electronics or wireless devices in order to best receive the outdoor
temperature transmitter signal.
Foldout Table Stand
Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the Atomic Digital
Clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stand is
extended, place the Atomic Digital Clock in an appropriate location.
Wall Mount
Use a straightedge to horizontally space three screw positions on
a wall to match the hanging holes on the back of the clock. Install
three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within
transmission range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch
(5mm) extended from the wall.
Place the Atomic Digital Clockonto the screws, using the hanging
holes on the backside.
Gently pull the Atomic Digital Clock down on the screws.
Note: Always ensure that the Atomic Digital Clock locks onto the
screws before releasing.
LOW BATTERY:
When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the
batteries in the outdoor transmitter.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries
Do not expose the Atomic Digital Clock to extreme temperatures, vibration or
shock.
