SETTING-UP:
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units. Avoid using
rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: Do not set-up the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1. Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the radio-controlled clock.
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
2. After the 15 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a
temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of batteries, wait 15 minutes and repeat
step one.
3. After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the manual
settings below. The default (factory) time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
4. After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start. This reception typically takes between 10-15 minutes in good
conditions. If after 15 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the “SET” key
to manually enter the set-up mode and change either the time or date in order to activate
the WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The clock will then automatically
attempt to receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts
WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the
received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the
received time (Please refer to notes on “Manual time setting”).
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 15 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting,
otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur.
