INTRODUCTION
The Model 1500E
Using the same technology NASA employs to tell time, the Model 1500E wirelessly
synchronizes with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's atomic
clock in Boulder, Colorado. In addition to confirming the time daily, the 1500E
automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. No wires, no worries, and no more
excuses for being late.
About Your Atomic Clock
In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 1500E contains an antenna
and a microchip. The antenna receives the official time signal from the US
Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology and the microchip
translates the time signal and adjusts the time display to the correct time. The
Model 1500E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio signal from the
WWVB radio station maintained by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). The NIST, using its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for
the US and is located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 1500E will work anywhere
it can receive the WWVB signal from the NIST. This signal is broadcast to reach
across the continental US and into parts of Canada and Mexico. To learn more
about the NIST time correction technology used in the Model 1500E, you can visit:

RADIO SIGNAL RECEPITION
About Radio Signal Reception
The Model 1500E is programmed to see the WWVB radio signal everyday. Initially
the time recorder will search for a signal immediately after you set the time zone.
Once the clock has initially set, it will search for the signal 9 times per day to
maintain accuracy. The WWVB signal is the strongest early in the morning, when
there is the least amount of interference from other sources.
There are some environments and weather conditions that may influence the
reception of the AM radio signal. Just as with an AM radio, the Model 1500E can
be positioned for optimal reception. For instance, it is best to position the clock
away from metal studs and toward the direction of the tower in Colorado. Since
this time recorder contains a highly accurate quartz timer, it will function with a
very high level of accuracy between signal receptions. The Model 1500E will
operate as normal electronic time recorder without having to receive the signal.
Since it is also operates as a highly accurate (+/- 15 seconds per month) quartz
time clock, it will function properly while outside the reception area or if it can not
receive the WWVB signal.
Verifying the Time
The best way to verify the correct time is to call the NIST at (303) 499-7111 (long
distance charges may apply). Any other sources, including the time number in
your local phone book, the Internet, cell phones, and Cable TV receivers may be
off by several seconds.

FLASHING: Unit is receiving the atomic radio signal.

SETTING THE DISPLAY FORMAT
SETTING THE TIME
It is recommended that during initial installation you manually set the time and date. The
1500E will automatically correct itself when it receives a radio signal from the atomic clock.
Example: Change the time from 10:08 to 10:09.
Press the SELECT button and position
the " " mark at the "TIME".
At that moment, the "Hour" flashes. (The

SETTING THE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Automatic DST correction (recommended)
By default, the daylight saving time is already set to start on the first Sunday of April and to end
on the last Sunday of October. However, if you once disabled this function and want to set it
again or change starting and/or ending date, please change dates as follows.
Once you reset the unit, setting of daylight saving time will return to the default value.
Example: Start date Sunday, April 2, 2006.
End date Sunday, October 29, 2006.
If you set as the above, the time clock remembers the start date as the first Sunday of April
and the end date as the last Sunday of October. Once set, the time clock automatically
updates the settings every year thereafter. No further manual setting is necessary.
DST correction via WWVB radio
If you want to disable automatic daylight saving time function and adjust time just by received
radio wave (WWVB), please see the following page for "DELETING THE DAYLIGHT
SAVING TIME SETTING" and cancel the setting.
Disable DST correction
If you are located in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time, you may disable
automatic correction, and bypass correction from the WWVB radio, by setting the STARTING
DATE and ENDING DATE to the same date.

The Model 1500E can be set to one of the four United States time zones. By default, the unit is
shipped preset to Eastern Time. It is very easy to switch between time zones. With the touch of
a button, you can tell the 1500E what time zone you are in. If you move the time recorder
between time zones, the time zone setting will need to be changed manually, but doing so is
easy and you will maintain extreme accuracy.
Example: Change the time zone to "Central".
