Warranty
Nixieshop.com values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best quality of service. We
provide lifetime warranty for electronics and one year warranty for tubes. The warranty applies only to the
products manufactured by Nixie Shop.
The warranty covers burned out tubes (up to three), problems with the electronics of the clock. The warranty
does not cover: damage of a product resulting from negligence; damage of a product resulting from unauthorized
modification of the product; damage caused by natural disaster; theft or loss of the product.
Powering up
On the rear panel of the clock there are two sockets. The left pictured one is used for powering the Nixie clock.
The right one is used for the PIR motion sensor (optional):
Plugging in and turning on the power, the clock will perform a brief self-test to confirm it’s operational. The digits
on the clock will scroll through from 0-9, then the clock will beep once.
Settings and Adjustments
There are two ways to adjust the various settings of the clock:
1. The knob on the rear of the clock. Pressing it in once changes through the menu items, twisting it changes
the values.
2. Using the IR remote control. Pressing the "W" or AV/TV button changes through the menu items,
pressing the white up/down button changes the values.

The menu items below are listed in the order that they will appear when going through them.

Setting the clock to sleep when not required can help to prolong the life of the Nixie tubes. The sleep feature
works using 24 hour time values. For best results the clock should also be set into 24H mode (menu option 12).
Note: The human presence sensor (external PIR sensor) will work once it is plugged in. The clock will beep once to
indicate the connection/disconnection of the motion sensor.
