GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS

LCD “LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

LED “LED” is an acronym for “Light-Emitting Diode”. This type of light is used to illuminate a variety of displays such as a digital clock or watch.

NIST The National Institute of Standards and Technology (Time and Frequency division) maintains the primary frequency standard for the United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time and frequency standards with other world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services for United States clientele.

WWVB The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST. The WWVB’s function is to broadcast time-of-day information derived from the NIST atomic clock, located in Boulder, Colorado.

ATOMIC CLOCK An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the movements of electrons in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to 10 billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks calculating the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—the official world time.

RADIO CONTROLLED TIME A radio controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio controlled

time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna.

The radio controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio controlled time device.

For more information regarding the NIST, WWVB, atomic clock, and radio controlled time, please visit the NIST official website: http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

I. QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality alkaline batteries

and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1. We recommend beginning the set-up procedure at night when the WWVB signal is easiest to receive.

2. It is also highly recommended to set the projection alarm in a window or other area free of interference in the area of your home that is closest to Colorado (the source of the WWVB signal).

NOTE: The above steps are not required but can help the projection alarm receive the signal faster.

3. Install the batteries in the projection alarm clock.

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

NOTE: It is important to not press any buttons after inserting batteries as this will interrupt the WWVB search sequence.

In this time the display will show the indoor temperature. If the station does not display the indoor temperature after the 15 minutes please retry the set-up as stated above. After the indoor temperature displays for 15 minutes you may place the projection alarm in your desired location.

To complete the set-up of your temperature station after the 15 minutes have passed, please follow the steps beginning on page 6.
