This product may use more than one piece of battery. Please refer to the engraved battery marks inside the battery compartment for the correct battery type. What is Radio Controlled Clock With the Radio-Controlled Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the continent. It can receive the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviate less than 1 second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal ( WWVB, 60kHz ) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be received anywhere in the continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable radio. It is expected that the signal can reach a distance of 2,000 miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive the signal within the broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally the signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and concrete structures unless near a window. In addition, some environmental effect ( see below ) may affect the transmitting distance. For more information, please study the WWVB WEB page of NIST at : http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/ Environmental Reception Effects The Radio-Controlled Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the following conditions: • • • • • • • • • • • Long transmitting distance. Nearby mountains and valleys. Among tall buildings. Near railway, high voltage cable, etc. Near freeway, airport, etc. Near construction site. Inside concrete buildings. Near electrical appliances. Bad weather. Inside moving vehicles. Nearby metallic structures. P.2 Feature • Receive 60kHz WWVB signal transmitted by NIST at Fort Collins Colorado • Automatic time adjustment after signal reception • Calendar with day of the week display • Hour, minute and second display • Indoor temperature and remote temperature • Centigrade or Fahrenheit readout • Indoor temperature measurement range from -20°C ~ 70°C ( -4°F ~ 158°F ) • Outdoor temperature measurement range from -50°C ~ 70°C ( -58°F ~ 158°F ) • Temperature resolution 0.1°C ( 0.2°F ) • Clock operation temperature from 0°C ~ 50°C ( 32°F ~ 122°F ) • Time accuracy ( Atomic clock ) : better than 1 second in 2 million years • Time accuracy ( free run ) : within +/-60second per month Location Precautions This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a window or some other locations where reception is good. Avoid the following locations, which can interfere with proper reception. Inside or near concrete/ steel bulidings or structures, unless the clock is close/ next to a window (with curtain open). Too close to household appliances (Computer, TV, video/audios, fax machines, speakers). Next or close to power station. Inside moving vehicles (automobile, train, airplanes etc) which radio transmission or electronics will interfere the reception of radio-controlled clock. Near construction sites, traffic lights, roadside, neon lights etc. Close to or on top of metal surfaces / plates. Before You Begin To ensure proper functioning of the unit, please follow this set up procedure. • Insert batteries for the main unit ( Refer to section of Battery Installation ) • Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit and insert batteries for the remote unit. • Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission range, which in usual circumstances is 30 to 45 meters. Note that the effective range is affected by the building materials and where the main and remote unit are positioned, try various setup for the best results. Battery Installation Battery Installation of the Main Unit • Open the battery door. • Load full set (2pcs AA size battery) of new batteries in polarity (+) and (-) as indicated. • Close the battery door. Battery Installation of the Remote Unit • Open the battery door. • Load full set (2pcs AA size battery) of new batteries in polarity (+) and (-) as indicated. • Close the battery door. Warning : Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries. Do not touch any other button or setting on your main unit. It will automatically receive the remote temperature and time signal after batteries inserted. Getting Started Thermometer Upon power up of the remote unit ( or pressing the RESET button ), the temperature RF signal is immediately sent to the main unit. The main unit attempts to search the RF temperature signal for 5 minutes after power up ( or pressing the RESET button ). If the RF signal is received within the first 5 minutes after power up of the main unit, the temperature will show on the remote temperature display, otherwise it will show blank “--.-ºC”. After the remote unit temperature is shown on the remote temperature display, the synchronization of main unit and remote unit is established. Afterward place the remote units outside in a shaded, dry area to protect it as if under an umbrella. If the RF temperature signal is not received within the first 5 minutes, press the RE-SYNC button on the main unit, the main unit will attempt remote temperature for another 6 minutes. Radio Controlled Clock As long as batteries are supplying power to the main unit, it receives the time signal and adjust time automatically. No manual adjustment is required after power up. Accurate adjustment of the clock based on the time signal is supported in the continental USA. You are recommended to leave the clock overnight for seaching time signal since night time allows better transmission of time signal. P.4 Wave Signal Receive Operation The main unit automatically receives time signal everyday at 02:00am and makes any required adjustment to the time setting, indicated by the flashing tower icon . If the time signal is successfully received, the tower icon will stop flashing and will display steadily. A WAVE OK indicator will appear on display. Important : Do not perform any button or switch operation while a signal receive operation is in progress. Triggering a Wave Receive Operation manually You can trigger a signal receive operation at any time by pressing the WAVE button, which cause the main unit to perform an immediate signal receive operation. Unsuccessful Wave Signal Reception If the automatic updates at 2:00am are unsuccessful, the wave on top of the antenna tower and the WAVE OK icon will disappear. If unsuccessful signal reception after battery installation or after reset, the main unit will keep trying for 10 minutes every hour until time signal reception is successful. Manually Set the Clock To Set DST • Press and hold the “DST/TIME ZONE” button until On or Off display on LCD. • Press “+” or “-” button to toggle between DST ON and DST OFF. • Press “DST/TIME ZONE” button to confirm and leave setting mode. To Set TIME ZONE • Press “DST/TIME ZONE” sequentially to select your local time zone To Set the Calendar 1. Press and hold SET button to active calendar set mode. 2. Press + or – button sequentially to set year. 3. Holding down either + or – button to change the year at high speed. 4. Press SET button to confirm year set and go to date set. 5. Press + or – button sequentially to set date. 6. Holding down either + or – button to change the date at high speed. To Set the Time 1. Press SET button after calendar set mode. 2. Press + or – button sequentially to set minutes, when you press the + or – button once, the seconds count reset to 00. 3. Holding down either + or – button to change the time at high speed. 4. Press SET button after desired time set and go to time format set mode. 5. Press + or – button to toggle between 12hr and 24 hr time display format. 6. Press SET button to confirm and quit the set mode. Check IN / REMOTE Temperature The indoor temperature is displayed on the INDOOR temperature field and the OUTDOOR temperature will be shown on the OUTDOOR temperature field. Display Unit The default unit for temperature is °C, press °C/°F button will toggle the display unit of temperature between °C and °F. Receiver Stage Indicator The RF signal indicator in the base unit remote temperature window will show the following: NO SIGNAL DETECTION SIGNAL DETECTION SUCCESSFUL RECEPTION Losing Synchronization of the Wireless Thermometer If the base unit displayed a proper remote temperature in the past but now displays blank “--“, the remote unit and the main unit may have lost synchronization. If this occurs, press the RE-SYNC button of the main unit. The main unit will attempt outdoor temperature reception for another 6 minutes and reinitiate synchronization with the remote unit. If the remote temperature cannot be received, check: 1. The distance of the main unit or remote unit should be at least 3-4 feet away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. 2. Avoid placing the main unit onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. 3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speaker operating on the same signal frequency ( 433MHz ) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. 4. Neighbors using electrical devices operation on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 433MHz signals is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the remote unit or the main unit, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset both unit otherwise transmission problems may occur. The maximum transmission range is 150 feet from the remote unit to the main unit ( in open space ). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. The temperature signal travels in a straight line from the remote unit to the clock. The signal will not curve around blocking object. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all unit have to be reset. P.6 Wall Mounting or Using the Stand The main unit has a built in stand, you can flip open to support the main unit on a flat surface. You can close the flip and mount the unit on a wall. Drive a screw into the wall until the head extends about 1/8 inch from the wall, then locate the keyhole slot over the screw head and slide the Atomic Clock down to make it secure. The remote unit comes with a wall mount holder which can hold the unit on wall, or just place it on a flat surface. OTE REM Interference Signals from other household devices, such as entry controls, door bells and home security systems, may temporarily interfere with the units and cause reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature reading will resume once the interference has stopped. Trouble Shooting • Press the RESET button when the clock is displaying irrelevant time even when the tower icon shows. This may happen when the external noise is severe enough to interfere with the time signal. • Press the RESET button on the transmitter if the readout is irrelevant or does not respond. Care of Your Clock • Avoid exposing your clock to extreme temperatures, water or severe shock. • Avoid contact with any corrosive materials such as perfume, alcohol or cleaning agents. • Do not subject the clock to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature or humidity. Any of these conditions may shorten the life of the clock. • Do not tamper with any of the internal components of this clock. This will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage.
