SNS Personal Clocks
Introduction
Primex Wireless’s Synchronous Network System (SNS™) Personal Series Clocks are equipped with
both a wireless 802.11 b/g interface and a wired Ethernet port interface. They’re also easy to install –
simply connect the power source and the clock is instantly synchronized to the Primex Wireless
system.
Primex Wireless Personal Series Clocks can be installed anywhere indoors within range of an 802.11
b/g access point. The clocks are able to connect in an existing wireless LAN (WLAN), supporting a wide
variety of security protocols.
Primex Wireless’s Synchronous Network System (SNS™) analog clocks are equipped with both a
wireless 802.11 b/g interface and a wired Ethernet port interface. They’re also easy to install – simply
install batteries, set network settings with the Browser-based Configuration Tool and the clock
synchronizes to the Primex Wireless system.
For detailed instructions on the use of the browser-based configuration tool, please see the Primex
Wireless Applications Management Platform (AMP™) User Guide. Once the clocks are configured,
settings can be altered using Primex’s Applications Management Platform (AMP™). AMP has
features to determine the signal strength of the Personal Series Clock’s reception.
The Personal Series Clocks connect to the WLAN once a day. Any changes in configuration of
Personal Series Clock via AMP will be transmitted to the clock the next time it connects to the WLAN.
For detailed instructions on the use of AMP, please see the Primex Wireless Applications
Management Platform (AMP™) User Guide.
This user guide describes the features and installation of Primex Wireless SNS Personal Series Clocks.

Precautions and regulatory compliance statements
This section contains mandatory precautions and regulatory compliance statements.
Safety precautions
SNS Personal Series Clocks are designed for indoor use only and are not weather protected. Operating
the clock outdoors, or in wet areas is an electrical hazard and may damage the clock while nullifying the
warranty.
Equipment precautions
• To avoid possible electric shock and damage to an SNS Personal Series Clock, make sure that the
batteries are removed when working on it.
• For healthcare facilities, clocks are not intended for patient use and must not be installed within 6ft
(2m) of patient contact.
• SNS Personal Series Clocks can be cleaned with a cloth moistened with water or a common
disinfectant.
Caution Be sure to test any cleaning solutions on a small area of the clock before using it on the
entire clock.
FCC compliance
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
FCC radio frequency interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B analog device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC radiation exposure limits
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of
20 cm is required between the antenna and all persons.

Install batteries in an SNS Personal Series Clock
Note The battery life of SNS Personal Series Clocks is up to18 months with four high-quality alkaline
C-cell batteries. Therefore, it is important that fresh, superior-quality batteries, with an expiration date
that exceeds five years past the installation date, be used for the clock.
The SNS Personal Series Clock notifies the user when the batteries need to be changed by showing
the “Low Battery” symbol on the clock display. Battery condition is also reported via AMP. The clock will
retain its configuration after the batteries are replaced.
The following are recommendations for clock batteries:
• Use only new high-quality name brand alkaline batteries
• Batteries should be the same type and date code
• The use of heavy duty and zinc carbon batteries is not recommended, as they will not last as long
as high-quality name brand alkaline batteries
• Do not use rechargeable NiCad batteries, as their output voltage is too low to assure proper
operation
• Do not use standard lithium batteries
Factors affecting battery life:
• Low ambient light and frequent use of the backlight will adversely affect battery life.
• Use of the Low/High setting
• High will drain batteries, Low will preserve battery life.
Follow these steps to replace the batteries in an SNS Personal Series Clock:
1. Dismount the clock from the wall so that you
can access the back of the clock.
2. Remove the battery cover.
3. Remove the old batteries, wait 10 seconds.
4. Insert four Alkaline “C-cell” batteries.
5. Replace the battery cover.
6. When the batteries are in place, the SNS
Personal Series Clock will set to the correct
time once it is received.

Wall-mount an SNS Personal Series Clock
The back of the SNS Personal Series Clock features a Clock-Lock hanger. The Clock-Lock feature
prevents accidental removal if the clock is bumped and it may reduce theft by requiring a particular
combination of moves to remove the clock. All SNS Personal Series Clocks come with one #6 x 1-1/4”
mounting screw and wall anchor.
Note To bypass the Clock-Lock feature, use finishing nails with no heads angled at 45 degrees into
the wall in place of headed screws or nails. The clock may then be mounted and removed like a
standard clock.
This section presents instructions for installing various analog clock models. The section provides the
following topics:
• Install a single-sided Personal Series Clock
SNS Personal Series Clock and AMP Software
SNS Personal Series clocks can be controlled by AMP software to:
1. Configure 12/24 hour format
2. Date format
3. Show day of the week (yes/no)
Refer to the current AMP User Guide: Application Management Platform (AMP™) version 2.4
