Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Foxtop Atomic Wall Clock. This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining your clock to ensure accurate timekeeping and environmental monitoring. Please read it carefully and keep it for future reference.

Product Overview

The Foxtop Atomic Wall Clock is a self-setting timepiece that automatically synchronizes with the WWVB radio broadcast for precise time. It also features integrated analog thermometer and hygrometer dials to display indoor temperature and humidity.

• Automatically Sets: This radio controlled clock receives a signal from the WWVB radio broadcast to always display the correct time.
• AUTO DST: Features an automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustment. Ensure the DST switch is set correctly for your time zone.
• Thermometer & Humidity Combo: Built-in analog hygrometer and thermometer accurately measure indoor temperature from -30°F to 130°F (-30°C to 50°C) and humidity from 0% to 100% RH.
• Movement: Equipped with a silent, non-ticking jump second movement, ideal for quiet environments.

Setup Instructions

1. Battery Installation

Insert one 1.5V LR6 R6P AA alkaline battery (not included) into the battery slot on the back of the clock. Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity (+/-).

The image above shows the back panel of the clock, highlighting the battery slot and control buttons.

2. Time Zone Selection

Locate the 'ZONE' switch on the back of the clock. Slide the switch to select your time zone: PST (Pacific Standard Time), MST (Mountain Standard Time), CST (Central Standard Time), or EST (Eastern Standard Time).

3. Daylight Saving Time (DST) Setting

Find the 'DST ON/OFF' switch. If your region observes Daylight Saving Time, set the switch to 'ON'. If not, set it to 'OFF'.

4. Initial Signal Reception

After installing the battery and setting the time zone and DST, the clock will attempt to receive the WWVB atomic signal. The second hand will move to the 12 o'clock position and pause. It may take several minutes to several hours for the clock to receive the signal and set itself. For optimal reception, place the clock near a window and away from electronic interference. The three adjust buttons (M.SET, RESET, REC) are flush with the control panel to prevent accidental pushing; you may need a sharp object to press them.

Operating the Clock

Automatic Time Synchronization

Once the clock successfully receives the WWVB signal, it will automatically set itself to the correct time for your selected time zone. The clock will periodically attempt to resynchronize to maintain accuracy.

Manual Time Setting

In rare cases, if the clock does not set automatically, you can manually set the time. Press the 'M.SET' button on the back of the clock to activate manual setting mode. Use a sharp object (like a pen tip) to press the 'RESET' button to reset the clock, then press 'REC' to force signal reception. If manual adjustment is still needed, consult the full user manual for detailed steps.

Reading Thermometer and Hygrometer

The clock features two small analog dials on its face. The left dial indicates the indoor temperature in both Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C). The right dial displays the indoor humidity as a percentage (RH).

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the clock stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it is time to replace the AA battery. Always use a fresh alkaline battery for best performance.

Cleaning

To clean the clock, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as these may damage the finish or the clock mechanism.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not setting automatically:
  Ensure the battery is fresh and correctly installed. Verify the time zone and DST switches are set correctly. Place the clock near a window, away from large metal objects or electronic devices that may interfere with the signal. Allow up to 24 hours for initial signal reception, especially in areas with weak signals. Press the 'REC' button on the back to force a signal reception attempt.
• Incorrect time displayed:
  Check the time zone and DST settings. Perform a manual reset by pressing the 'RESET' button with a sharp object, then allow the clock to resynchronize.
• Thermometer/Hygrometer not working:
  These are analog and do not require batteries. Ensure they are not obstructed. If readings appear inaccurate, allow the clock to acclimate to the room temperature for several hours.
