ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology-Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station 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 Projection alarm. Howev er , due to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is v ery limited during daylight hours. The Projection alarm will search for a signal every night when reception is best.

The WWVB Projection alarm receives the time data from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado . A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring e very second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more detail, visit http://www .boulder . nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the NIST time, call (303)499-7111. This number will connect you to an automated time, announced at the top of the minute in "Coordinated Universal Time", which is also kno wn as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute,

a tone will sound for every second. It is possible that your Projection Alarm may not be exactly on the second due to the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course of several days to be very accurate; under . 10 seconds per day.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1) Insert two AA batteries into the Projection alarm and/or plug into wall

2) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception.

3) If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions in the Program Mode).

4) Program the settings.

5) Mount the WT-5350 in a suitable location, where WWVB signal can be received.

6) The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If only batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is pressed.

7) See the "Features" section for instructions on projection direction, etc.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Observe the correct polarity and install 2 AA batteries.

3. In addition or instead of inserting batteries, the AC adapter can be used. Simply plug the adapter into the receptacle on the bottom of the alarm clock and then plug in adapter.

4. Replace the battery cover.

5. The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If only batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is pressed. The projection is a red light, not harmful under normal usage, although care should be taken to not look directly into the light.

Note:

After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound and the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will activate. The date and U.S. map will be displayed and the time will appear as "-:--". The WWVB search is automatically initiated and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected and the time display will remain on "-:--"). While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display. After 10 minutes, the Projection Alarm will either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the search is cancelled "-:--" will remain in the time LCD. The Projection Alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically

P.8

conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will appear. If not, another search will take place every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is received successfully. If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will search again at 12:00 am the next night.

PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode, hold down the "MODE+" button for 2 seconds, until the time zone ("-5" default) flashes in the lower right. The Program Mode Guide is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the Projection Alarm. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up and will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections C through G. Press the "SNOOZE" button at any time to exit the Program Mode or wait appro ximately 15 seconds f or the Projection Alarm to automatically return to normal operation.
