Setup

Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment located on the back of the clock. Insert one (1) AA battery, ensuring the polarity (+/-) matches the diagram inside the compartment. Close the battery compartment securely.
Initial Power-Up: Upon battery installation, the clock will power on and begin searching for the atomic time signal. This process may take several minutes to several hours depending on your location and signal strength.
Atomic Time Synchronization: The clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the atomic time signal. Once synchronized, the time will be set accurately. Ensure the clock is placed away from large metal objects or electronic devices that may interfere with the signal reception.
