Introduction:
Congratulations on purchasing the Atomic Alarm Clock with WWVB Radio controlled time,
calendar, 12/24 hours display, time zone with US map, indoor temperature and two alarms
settings. This innovative product is ideal for home or office use. Please read this instruction
manual to enjoy the full benefits of all the features.
Features:
•WWVB Radio controlled time with manual setting option
•12/24 hour time display
•Time zone with USA map (Pacific Time(-8h); (Mountain Time (-7h); Central Time (-6h);
Eastern Time(-5h) or GMT
•Automatic or manual ON/OFF daylight saving time
•Indoor temperature reading (ºC/ºF user selectable)
•2 alarm times (crescendo and normal sounding alarms)
•snooze interval setting (from 1 to 59 minutes)
•Calendar display (weekday/month/date or month/ date/year)

Setting up the Atomic Alarm Clock:
The clock uses 1 x AA LR6 battery (Alkaline recommended). To set please follow these easy
steps:
1. Slide the battery cover downwards as indicated by the triangle to reveal the battery
compartment
2. Observing the correct polarisation insert the battery.
3. Replace battery cover.
4. After power-up, the alarm will sound once and all LCD segments will light up briefly.
5. The clock will now start receiving the WWVB time signal and the radio tower icon will start
flashing indicating that time reception is being attempted
6. Time reception takes typically about 3-5 minutes with timeout being 10 minutes. If after 10
minutes the WWVB time signal has still not been received, the user should try one of the
following two actions:
Function keys
Battery
compartment
Snooze button

WWVB icon (flashing)
Location test
sequence for better
reception
Reset the unit by removing the battery and proceed from step 2 (above). Should after 10
minutes and the time is still not received the clock will automatically attempt to receive the
WWVB time signal two hours later.
Manually set the time (see “Manual Time Setting” below).
Note: During the time of power-up (i.e. inserting the battery) DO NOT press any of the keys as
this will interrupt stop the WWVB time signal reception. If keys are pressed during this
stage, then proceed from “Setting up the Atomic Alarm” above.
If there is no WWVB signal then the radio tower will not appear on the LCD
When WWVB time reception is successful, the received time will automatically override
the manually set time and date. (Please see notes on “Radio Controlled Time
Reception” and “Manual Time Setting”).
Radio controlled Time Reception:
During reception, the WWVB tower icon in the LCD will start flashing. This indicates that the
WWVB time signal is present and the clock is trying to receive it. At the same time, three digits
“000” will appear below the USA map in the LCD to indicate that the time data from the signal
source is being de-coding for the time. The digit on the left should randomly display the
numbers 0, 1 or 8 for a strong signal. If 0, 1 or 8 are not displayed, then reposition the clock for
a better signal.
When the time signal is received, the WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will
be displayed.
General Information on WWVB radio controlled time
NIST Radio Station WWVB is located on the WWVB site near Ft. Collins, Colorado. The
WWVB time code is transmitted by the 60 kHz carrier and is broadcast continuously at a rate of
1 pulse per second using pulse width modulation.
The broadcast information includes the year; time intervals; Daylight Saving Time and leap
year. The accuracy of the transmitted WWVB signal is better than 1 part in 100 billion (1 x 100
-
11
) and with day to day deviations being less than 5 parts in 1000 billion
(5 x 10
-12
).

Trouble Shooting
If the WWVB tower icon flashes, but does not set to the WWVB time signal or the tower icon
does not appear at all, then please take note of the following:
•Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a
minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally
weakened and in extreme cases the signal may not be received. In this case, place the unit
close to a window so that it faces in the general direction of the Ft. Collins, Colorado
transmitter
•During daytime high levels of interference from other transmitting sources could prevent the
WWVB time signal reception. During night-time, atmospheric disturbances are usually less
severe and reception is possible in most cases
Note: Even if the time has been set manually the Alarm Clock will still try to receive the signal
every hour between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. local time. If the time signal data is
received, it is converted into radio controlled time from atomic clock run by the NIST and
then be displayed on the LCD. The received time will automatically override the
manually set time and date. When clock is attempting reception, the tower icon on the
LCD will start flashing if the WWVB time signal is present. When reception is successful,
no more radio signal reception will take place during that day. However if reception has
been unsuccessful, the WWVB tower icon will not appear and reception will be
attempted the following hour up to 6:00 a.m.
Care and Maintenance:
•Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage
to the unit and could give inaccurate readings.
•When cleaning the display and casing, use a soft cloth only. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casing.
•Do not submerge the unit in water.
•Immediately remove any low powered battery to avoid leakage and damage and replace
only with a new battery of the recommended size.
•Do attempt to repair a unit. Return it to its original point of purchase for repair by a qualified
engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate its guarantee
•Do not expose the unit to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid
changes in readings reducing its accuracy
Battery Change:
It is recommended to replace the battery in the Clock on an annual basis to ensure optimum
running accuracy
When replacing the battery cover, ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts as this may cause start up problems.
