USB CHARGING PORT
The integrated USB charging port (on side) will charge your smart
phone, camera or other devices when the atomic alarm clock is plugged
into a power outlet with the included 5V A/C adapter.
Note: This is a power-output charging port. The
charging port does not supply power to the atomic
alarm clock.
Connect your external device’s USB charging cable
(not included) to the USB charging port on the side of
the atomic alarm clock. Charging times will vary.
Note: Some USB cables are for data transfer only.
Make sure that the USB cable used will charge your
device. Most USB cables included with mobile devices
will work for charging.
-USB Power Output: 0.5A maximum current
-Do not overload USB port. Charge 0.5A devices or devices that are
self-regulating.
IMPORTANT: When operating on A/C power, the backlight and USB
charging port will turn off while the atomic alarm clock searches for the
WWVB to avoid interference. The backlight will return after 4~8 minute
search (which occurs during the late night or early morning hours).
Then the USB charging port will resume working.
MOON PHASE
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 alarm clock. However, due to
the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during
daylight hours.
The WWVB reception icon with full signal strength will
appear on screen if the reception of atomic time is successful.
• Use the – button to enter or exit manual search mode.
Note: During WWVB reception, all buttons work. When in time set or
alarm set mode, the WWVB search will stop. When alarm rings, it will
also stop the WWVB search.
IMPORTANT: To limit interference, the LCD backlight and USB
charging functions are suspended during WWVB atomic signal
synchronization which occurs after midnight. They will resume after a 4
to 8 minute signal search.
Note: In case the atomic alarm clock is not able to detect the WWVBsignal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be
manually set in the program menu.
LOW BATTERY
• When this low battery icon appears replace the batteries and/or
check the a/c adapter in the atomic alarm clock.
