Thank you for your purchase. The utmost care has gone into the design and
manufacture

of

your clock. Please read these instructions carefully and keep

them for future reference.
This

clock automatically synchronizes itself

to

the

US

Government's National

Institute

of Standards

and

Technology radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado. The
WWVB radio signal daily broadcast ensures that the atomic clock will always
display

the most accurate date and time. This clock never needs setting.

The weather station is equipped with many functions providing weather
information to you. The receiver unit has a

clear, easy-to-read display that
shows the weather forecast, indoor temperature, time, month, date, as
well

as

the outdoor temperature measured and transmitted from the outdoor

sensor.
The 433 MHz technology means

no

wire installation is required and you can

place the sensor anywhere you like within 100 feet.
