WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Atomic Digital Wall Clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Atomic Digital Wall Clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. Digital Atomic Wall Clock with Temperature and Forecast RX Model: W86111 | Quick Setup Guide INTRODUCTION: The Atomic Digital Wall Clock features radio-controlled time, date, forecast icons, indoor and outdoor temperature on an easy to read display. Receives signal from the Atomic Clock in Colorado, for accurate time! ATOMIC DIGITAL WALL CLOCK: Function Buttons Weekday Time WWVB Tower Date Indoor Temp. Outdoor Temp WWVB RECEPTION ICON with full signal strength will appear on screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. • The tower icon will show solid when the display has received the WWVB signal. • No tower icon displayed. The display was unable to receive a signal at this time. • Reposition the display for better signal reception or try again at bedtime. • The display will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the first attempt they will try again at 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, and 11:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10 minutes. • If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes. • If the signal is good it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes. • If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes. • Manual Search: Hold the -/TIME button to start a manual signal search.

OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER RECEPTION ICON: • When the signal is successfully received from the outdoor transmitter, this icon will be solid. • This icon will flash when searching for the outdoor transmitter signal. • If reception is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD. WEATHER FORECAST ICONS: The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The weather forecast is about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. SUNNY PARTLY SUNNY CLOUDY RAINY STORMY (Raindrops will blink) The Icons displayed Forecasts the Weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. Note: After initial set-up, readings for Weather Forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48-60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR Working together with the weather icons are the Weather Tendency Indicators. When the indicator points upwards, it means that the Airpressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve. When the indicator points right the pressure is holding steady. When indicator points downwards, the Air-pressure is falling and the weather is expected to become worse. This is forecasting the next 12 hours in the future. LOW BATTERY: • When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the batteries in the Forecast Station. • When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the batteries in the outdoor transmitter. POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER The remote temperature transmitter should be mounted vertically to avoid damage. Place both units in the desired shaded locations, and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow. WALL MOUNT Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Atomic Digital Wall Clock and under an overhang for accuracy. Option 1: • Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended. • Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. • Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place. Option 2: • Insert the mounting screw through the front of the sensor and into the wall. • Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission. POSITIONING THE CLOCK: The Atomic Digital Wall Clock should be mounted near an exterior wall with the front or back facing toward Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB reception. The display should be six feet from other electronics or wireless devices in order to best receive the outdoor temperature transmitter signal. Foldout Table Stand: A foldout table stand is located on the back of the clock. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the atomic clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location. Wall Mount Use a straightedge to horizontally space three screw positions on a wall to match the hanging holes on the back of the clock. Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range— leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall. Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place. Note: Always ensure that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
