Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 1.8 Inch Big Digit Atomic Clock. Your clock tells Atomic time, so it sets itself automatically when it receives the WWVB signal transmitted by NIST in Fort Collins, Colorado. It has a bold, easy to read display with a Hi-Lo dimmer that allows you to adjust the brightness for greater readability. With four time zones selection, you can set the clock to the correct time by just sliding a switch!

Four Time Zones — slide the time zone switch to select Pacific Standard Times (PST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Central Standard Time (CST), or Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Daily Dual Alarm —

two separate alarms with different sounds.

You can install a backup battery so you do not lose your clock settings if there is a power failure. The display turns off during a power failure, but, for 24 hours, the clock continues to run and the alarms sound at the preset alarm times.

Your clock requires one 9V battery (not supplied) for backup power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

2. Place the battery in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.
