The ATOMIC Clock
With the Atomic 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 (N IST), which is regulated by 3
atomic clocks and deviates 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
dhat the signal can cover a distance of over 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 effects (see next page) may affect the
transmitting distance.
For more information, please study the WWVB WEB page of NIST at:

Getting Started
C)he SkyScan Atomic Clock with wireless outdoor temperature consists of the SkyScan Clock and a
Wireless temperature transmitter.
To ensure proper functioning of your SkyScan Atomic clock with outdoor temperature, please follow this
power up procedure:
ll Insert new batteries into the main unit.
2. Insert batteries into the remote temperature transmitter.
3. Slide the time zone switch on the back of the SkyScen clock to your time zone:
PST = Pacific Standard Time
MST = Mountain Standard Time
CST = Central Standard Time
EST 2 Eastern Standard Time
4. Slide the daylight savings time switch (DST) to ON. This setting allows your clock to
O automatically change from standard time to daylight savings time and back each spring and fall. If
you live in an area that does not recognize daylight savings time (Arizona and parts of Indiana)
slide the DST switch to oft",
Do not touch any other buttons or settings on you SkyScan clock. It will automatically
receive the remote temperature and set your clock to the exact time, day, date and
indoor temperature and humidity.
Outdoor Temperature
Upon power up (or pressing the reset button) the temperature RF signal is immediately sent to the clock.
The clock attempts to receive the RF temperature signal for 5 minutes. The clock refieshes the RF
temperature every 3 minutes.
____————-——————-————-—_‘_‘—‘———“
, P.6
[f the RF temperature signal is not received within 5 minutes, blank ". . .” will appear in the outdoor
temperature window of the clock. In this case, press the TEMP FINDER button behind the flip over stand
of the clock. The clock will attempt outdoor temperature reception for another 6 minutes
Try relocation the clock or the transmitter if the clock does not display the outdoor temperature after 6
minutes.

Atomic Clock Reception
Your SkyScan Atomic Clock receives a signal from the US Atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It the
clock fails to receive the "WAVE" signal in the first reception sequence after power up, it will repeat a
lO-minute reception sequence every 30 minutes. This operation stops once the WAVE is received. The
automatically clock refreshes the WAVE each night,
You can start reception of the time signal anytime by pressing the TIME WAVE button.
Note: Frequent use of this feature may affect battery life,
Interference
Signals from other household devices, such as entry controls, door bells and home security systems, may
interfere the RF Thermo Clock to cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does not affect
the general performance of the product The transmission and reception of temperature reading will
(cefiume once the interference stopped.
Wall Mounting or Using the Stand
The main unit has a built in stand which can flipped open, it can support the main unit on a flat surface.
Or you can close the flip and mount the unit on wall, Drive the 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,
P.7
The remote unit comes with a wall mount holder which can hold the unit on wall
Manual clock setting
If 20 minutes afler power up your clock has not successfully received the time signal, you may set the
clock manually or the clock will continue an automatic search each 30 minutes until the signal is
received. Best reception of the WAVE is during the nighttime when the atmosphere allows a stronger
signal to travel farther from the Colorado transmitter. It is strongly recommended that you allow the
SkyScau Atomic clock one or two evenings to automatically catch the WAVE and set itself.
if you decide to manually set the clock make sure the time zone and DST switches are properly set (see
getting started). Then follow these easy steps:
1. Slide the switch to TIME SET and the time will flash on the display. Press the HR and MIN
0 buttons until you reach the desired time.
, 2. Slide the switch to calendar and the year and date will flash on the display. Press the YEAR,
MONTH and DATE buttons until you reach the desired calendar setting.
3. Slide the Switch to the LOCK Position.
4. Press the 12HR/24HR button to choose the desired display format. ”AM”and "PM" display only
in the IZHR format.
5. Press the C/F button to choose the Centigrade or Fahrenheit scale. Both the indoor and outdoor
temperature will display in the chosen scale. Note: the display on the remote unit can also show
Centigrade or Fahrenheit independent of the temperature scale chosen for the clock display.
Losing Synchronization of the wireless thermometer and the clock:
If the clock displayed a proper outdoor temperature in the past but now displays blank "--", the wireless
transmitter and clock may have lost synchronization. If this occurs, press the TEMP FINDER button
behind the flip over stand of the clock. The clock will attempt outdoor temperature reception for another
6 minutes and reinitiate synchronization with the wireless transmitter. If the remote temperature cannot
be received, check:
The remote unit is still in place.
The batteries of both units and replace if necessary.
The transmission is within range and possible interference accounted for.
Shorten me distance if necessary.
P. 8
Trouble - Shooting
- Press the "Reset" button when the clock is displaying irrelevant time even when the tower icon shows
on LCD. This may happen when the external noise is severe enough to interfere with the time Signal.
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.
Correct usage of the batteries
