TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The sensor uses 2 x AA,1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Remove the cover.

2.Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment).

3.Replace the battery cover on the unit.

Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargeable batteries.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK

The atomic clock uses 2 x AA, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:

1.Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover.

2.Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment).

3.Replace compartment cover.

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

SETTING UP:

Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using rechargeable batteries. NOTE: Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.

1.Place batteries in the outdoor sensor first, then into the atomic clock. DO NOT PRESS ANY

BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.

2.Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature, date, weekday, and the time, as 12:00, will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to the next step.

3.After the batteries are inserted, the atomic clock will start receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the atomic clock. If this does not happen after 3 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.

Note:

In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 10 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.

MANUAL SETTINGS

Note: If the atomic clock has already successfully received the WWVB time signal and displays the correct time and date, then the Manual settings can be skipped.

After completion of the above described procedures in “Setting up” the manual setting modes can be entered by pressing and holding the SET key for 3 seconds. The following settings can now be programmed:

Time zone setting

DST ON/OFF

Language display setting

Manual time setting

Year setting

ºF or ºC setting

TIME ZONE SETTING

After entering the manual setting mode as described above, the time zone can be set between the +12 to –12 hour or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) range in LCD1. To do this:

The time zone (LCD1) will start flashing (Default setting "-5“). Select the desired time zone by pressing and releasing the + key.

Note: North American Time Zones are negative numbers. The time zones from –4 to –10 hours will be displayed with 3 characters abbreviations:

ATL -4 (Atlantic time),

EST -5 (Eastern time; default time zone),

CST -6 (Central time),

MST -7 (Mountain time),

PST -8 (Pacific time),

ALA -9 (Alaska time),

HAW -10 (Hawaii time).

GMT 0 will be displayed if set to GMT (0h).

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the “DST Setting“.

DST SETTING (daylight saving time)

1.The ON digit will start flashing on LCD2. Set the DST ON or OFF by pressing the + key.

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the “Language Setting“.

Note:

The DST default is “ON”, meaning that the WWVB will automatically change the time according to Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not recognize DST changes

(Arizona and parts of Indiana) turn the DST “OFF”.

LANGUAGE SETTING

The weekdays can be displayed in LCD2 with the pre-set languages: US English=US, French=F, Spanish=E and German= d.

1.Set the desired language for the weekday display in LCD2 by use of the + key.

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the mode “Manual Time Setting”.

MANUAL TIME SETTING

In case the atomic clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.

Note: In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an additional “PM” for the time from 12:00 noon until 11:59.
