Setup

1. Choosing an Installation Location

For optimal GPS signal reception, place the clock near a window with a clear view of the sky. The clock will not function correctly in locations such as basements, underground garages, operating rooms, or areas with significant metal structures, as these can block satellite signals.

2. Mounting and Power Connection

1. Mount the clock securely on the wall using the provided screws.
2. Connect the 10ft power cord to the clock and plug the USB power adapter into a standard wall outlet. The clock requires AC power to operate.

3. GPS Auto-Synchronization

Once powered on, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with GPS satellite signals. This process typically takes a few minutes. A small green indicator light on the clock will illuminate when a satellite signal is successfully received and the time is synchronized.

4. Adjusting Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time (DST)

The default time zone is UTC+8. To adjust to your local time zone:

1. Press the globe icon button on the remote control to enter the time zone settings page.
2. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the time zone. Each press advances or reverses the time zone by 0.5 hours.
3. Once your local time zone is displayed, press the RET button to confirm. The clock will then display the local time.

To switch between Daylight Saving Time (DST) and standard time, use the remote's globe icon button. This feature is useful for multi-state facilities and professional environments.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean the clock, gently wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface.

2. Battery Backup

The clock contains an internal coin battery (CR2032) for memory backup. This battery retains time settings during a power outage but does not power the display. In case of a power interruption, the clock will automatically recover and display the correct time once power is restored, thanks to the internal battery and GPS re-synchronization.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not displaying time or incorrect time:
  Ensure the clock is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check the green indicator light for GPS signal reception. If the light is off or flashing, reposition the clock to an area with a clearer view of the sky. Avoid locations with obstructions like basements or metal structures.
• Remote control not working:
  Check the battery in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the clock. The remote has an operating range of up to 50ft.
• Time zone incorrect after GPS sync:
  The clock defaults to UTC+8. Follow the instructions in the "Adjusting Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time (DST)" section to set your local time zone using the remote control.
• Display too dim or too bright:
  The clock has an auto-dimming feature. If manual adjustment is desired, use the brightness control buttons on the remote.
