Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm Clock
Your RadioShack Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm Clock combines a
simple design with advanced technology. The clock automatically
updates the time setting when its built-in antenna receives the
60 kHz longwave radio signal from station WWVB which broadcasts
the time according to the U.S. government’s atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado. The cloc k checks this continuous signal seve ral times
each day, giving you th e most accurate time possible. Th e clock
comes with a carrying case, which makes it perfect for travel.
The clock’s other features include:
Four Time Zones — let you see the time for Pacific, Mountain , Ce n-
tral, or Eastern time zones.
Five Languages — let you view the day of the week in English,
French, German, Italian or Spanish.
Backlight — lets you light the display for about 8 seconds so you
can see the time in the dark.
Dual Display — displays the current time and date or the current
time and alarm time.
Low Battery Indicator — appears when the battery is weak.
Snooze Control — temporarily silences the alarm for about 8
minutes.
Built-In Antenna — receives periodic time updates from WWVB.
Built-In Stand — lets you place the clock on a flat surface for easy
viewing.
Crescendo Alarm — gradually increases in volume to gently
awaken you.
Easy-to-Use Controls — let you manually set the clock and the
alarm time if you are in an area that prevents good reception of
WWVB.
A QUICK LOOK AT THE CLOCK
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your clock requires 2 AAA batteries (no t s up pli ed) for power. For the
best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack
alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Lift the antenna stand up and slide the battery compartment
cover down to remove the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover .
When flashes, the display dims, or the clock stops operating
properly, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the clock for a week or longer,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Notes:
• If the clock does not operate after you install the batteries,
remove them and wait about five seconds until the display
clears. Then reinstall the batteries.
• The clock is set to automatically search for a radio signal to set
the time and date when y ou i ns t all the batteries. To set the cl oc k
manually, see “Manually Setting the Ti me , D ate, and L anguage”
on Page 2.
As soon as you install the batteries, all display segments briefly
appear. Then
PM 12:00, 1M, and 1D appear.
For about 2 minutes after you install the batteries, the clock scans
for the radio signal while the radio indicator and the United States
time zone map flash.
The clock also automatically shows a time zone. While the clock is
scanning for a signal, you can set it to show your time zone. To
change the time zone, repeatedly pre ss
ZONE until your time zone is
highlighted (
P = Pacific, C = Central, M = Mountain, or E = Eastern).

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The built-in antenna is located in the stand.
For the best reception, set the clock up on its
stand as shown here.
Note: Do not place the clock near a TV,
high-power cable, or metal table, since any of
these items could interfere with radio signal
reception.
CHECKING THE SIGNAL STATUS
The clock checks the time signal six times a day, at about 1:00 AM,
2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 9:00 PM. When it
receives a strong signal, it automatically sets the time and date.
These symbols appear on the clock’s display to indicate the current
(or last) status of the radio signal reception.
Notes:
• On cloudy days or during inclement weather, the signal might
not be strong enough to reset the clock.
• If the clock does not receive a strong signal within about 2
minutes, it stops scanning and looks for a signal again at the
next preset time.
USING AUTOMATIC TIME SETTING
To turn off automatic time setting, hold down ZONE for about 3
seconds until the radio indicator and the time zone map disappear.
The selected time zone indicator (central, for example) appears.
(You can now manually set the clock.)
To turn on automatic ti me s ett ing , hold down
for about 3 seconds
until the radio indicator and the tim e z one map fla sh . Whe n the radi o
receives a strong radio signal, the signal status and the time zone
map stop flashing.
MANUALLY SETTING THE TIME, DATE,
AND LANGUAGE
If you are in an area where the clock does not receive a good radio
signal, you can set the time and date manually.
Important: Good radio signal reception automatically overrides the
manual setting.
Note: When you travel to states that do not follow Daylight Saving
Time, either manually change the time zone, or temporarily turn off
automatic time setting.
1. Hold down
ZONE for about 3 seconds to turn off the automatic
time setting.
2. Repeatedly press
ZONE until you see the desired setting
(
P = Pacific, C = Central, M = Mountain, or E = Eastern).
3. Hold down
MODE until the hour digits flash, then repeatedly
press (or hold down)
to set the hour digits.
Note:
AM appears for AM time, and PM appears for PM time.
4. Press
MODE so the minute digits flash, then repeatedly press
(or hold down)
to set the minute digits.
5. Press
MODE so the last two digits of the year flash, and then
repeatedly press (or hold down)
to set the year digits.
6. Press

to set the date digits.
10. Press
MODE. A letter representing the language used for the
day of the week flashes.
11. Repeatedly press
until you see the desired language
(
E = English, D = German F = French, I = Italitan, or
S = Spanish).
12. Press
MODE to store the settings in memory.
Note: Due to the difference between UTC (Universal Coordinated
Time) and USA Pacific time, manually setting the clock on
December 31 may result in the wrong time/date. If this occurs,
please wait until January 1 and manually set it again. This anomaly
only occurs when t he clock is manually s et on December 31 and
does not otherwise effect the normal operation of this clock.
