4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

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

4.2 Initial Setup and Atomic Time Synchronization

After battery installation, the clock will automatically begin searching for the WWVB atomic time signal. This process may take several minutes to an hour, depending on your location and signal strength.

Time Zone Selection: Before receiving the signal, select your correct time zone using the setting buttons. The clock supports 7 time zones: -4(AST), -5(EST), -6(CST), -7(MST), -8(PST), -9(AKST), -10(HST).
Optimal Reception: For best reception, place the clock near a window, away from electronic devices that may cause interference.
Automatic Updates: The clock will automatically search for the WWVB signal at 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 5:00 AM every midnight to correct the time.
DST Setting: Ensure Daylight Saving Time (DST) is enabled if applicable to your region. The clock will automatically adjust forward or backward by 1 hour when DST is on.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Clock does not display or power on.	Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted.	Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Replace with new AA batteries.
Atomic time signal not received or time is incorrect.	Poor signal reception; incorrect time zone; interference.	Place the clock near a window. Ensure correct time zone is selected. Avoid placing near other electronics. Signal reception is typically best at night.
Display flickering.	Auto Light feature operating in marginal light conditions.	This is normal behavior for the Auto Light. If bothersome, turn the Auto Light switch to "OFF".
Alarm is too soft or not waking me up.	Alarm volume is fixed and designed to be gradually ascending.	Ensure the clock is placed close to you. Consider using a secondary alarm if you are a heavy sleeper.
Temperature gauge is inaccurate or not working.	Environmental factors; sensor malfunction.	Ensure the clock is not in direct sunlight or near heat/cold sources. If problem persists, contact customer support.
Buttons are unresponsive during atomic signal search.	Temporary button lock during signal reception.	This is normal. Buttons will become responsive once the signal reception process (1-2 minutes) is complete.
