The

SkyScan ATOMIC Clock

With the Skyscan 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 (NIST), 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.

I! is expected that 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 awindow.

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: http://www.tf.nist.gov

ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS:

The SkyScan Atomic Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, to the following circumstances:

.

Long transmitting distance.

. Nearby mountains and valleys.

.Among

tall buildings.

.Near

railway, high voltage cable, etc.

.

Near freeway, airport, etc.

. Near construction site.

.Inside

concrete buildings.

. Near electrical appliances.

. Near computers and televisions.

.

Bad weather locally or electrical storms between you and Colorado.

.Inside

moving vehicles.

.

Nearby metallic structures.

LOCATION PRECAUTIONS:

This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a window or some other reception is good. Avoid the following location, which can interfere with proper reception.

Too close to household appliances

(Computer, TV, video/audios, fax machines, speakers).

1. Synchronization signal reception can be received in Continental USAonly, In other areas, you can still use this clock by switching to RUNand the correct time will appear.

2, Piace your clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e.: close to a window away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.

TO START THE CLOCK

Remove the large round battery cover on the rear of the case, Insert 4 new "M" alkaline batteries observing the correct + and - battery polarity. Replace the battery cover. Then slide the MODE switch from STAN DY-BYto RUNand the real UStime will be displayed within 10 seconds.

~

The outdoor temperature transmitter uses 3 new "AM" alkaline batteries. The batteries must be inserted In the transmitter within

2 minutes after the atomic clock is activated with the MODE switch in the RUNposition.

Remove the battery cover on the rear of the case and Install the batteries observing the correct + and - battery polarity. Replace the battery cover and place outdoors out of the direct weather within 100 feet of the indoor clock,

IMPORTANT: if no outdoor temperature is displayed, press OUTTEMPFINDERbutton once at the back of the

Atomic Clock, then press RESETat the back of the temperature transmitter

Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.

After a few minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor temperatures should be displayed on the clock. After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, the WWVBtime code reception will automatically start, The clock will automatically update itself to the exact time, dqy, and date after receipt of the WWVBtime code. Thistypically takes over night.

Once a successful code is received, the radio reception

~ icon will appear on the front display. The clock will automatically attempt to receive the WWVBsignal every night at 1:00 am, 3:00am, and 5:00 am.
