Package Contents

The Geevon Atomic Digital Alarm Clock package includes:

  • 1 x Geevon Atomic Digital Alarm Clock (Model 22116)
  • 1 x Instruction Manual

Note: 2 AA batteries are required for operation and are not included in the package.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

Locate the battery compartment on the back of the alarm clock. Insert 2 new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Initial Atomic Clock Synchronization

Upon battery installation, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the WWVB atomic time signal. This process may take several minutes. During synchronization, all buttons are temporarily unavailable to prevent interference. Once synchronized, the time will be set accurately.

After initial synchronization, select your local time zone and enable/disable the DST function if applicable. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section for detailed steps on adjusting these settings.

4. Placement Guidelines

  • For accurate temperature measurement, place the clock away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • To ensure optimal atomic signal reception, position the clock away from large metal objects, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other obstructions that may limit reception.

Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

When the display dims or functions become erratic, it is time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock, remove the old AA batteries, and insert 2 new AA batteries, observing correct polarity. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.

To clean the clock, gently wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the clock in water, as this can damage the device.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Clock does not display anything or display is dim.Low or dead batteries; incorrect battery installation.Replace with new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
Atomic time synchronization fails or time is incorrect.Poor signal reception due to location; interference from electronic devices or metal objects; manual time setting error.
  • Relocate the clock away from large metal items, thick walls, or other electronics.
  • Ensure the clock is not near sources of electromagnetic interference.
  • Perform a manual time setting if atomic signal cannot be received.
  • Remove batteries for a few minutes, then reinsert to force a new synchronization attempt.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment is incorrect or delayed.The clock may adjust DST on the day following the change, or the DST function is not enabled.
  • Verify the DST setting is enabled for your region.
  • Allow up to 24 hours for the clock to receive the updated atomic signal and adjust.
  • Manually adjust the time if immediate correction is required.
Alarm does not sound.Alarm is not activated; alarm volume is too low (not applicable for this model as it has ascending beep).Ensure the alarm ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position and the alarm icon is visible on the display. Recheck alarm time settings.
