Please read this first!
After determining the proper wattage for your facility, we guarantee the coverage of your SiteSync IQ when you follow a few simple steps. If this is your first installation or you have questions at any time during this process, please call American Time toll free at 800-328-8996. We’re here to help!
This Quick Start Guide will help you avoid three common installation mistakes:
1. Improper location of transmitting (TX) antenna. A temporary install of the system controller is recommended. Don’t drill holes for permanent installation and mounting until the system is working correctly.
2. Improper system controller start-up. A successful transmission is indicated by a TX in the lower right-hand corner of the system controller screen. Don’t locate the campus TX antenna within 4′ of the system controller.
3. Improper clock start-up. Activate clocks in their intended location. Don’t activate the clocks in one room and move them to another location as signal reception will not be verified. Make sure the system controller is transmitting and is not in Quiet Mode.
IMPORTANT! Clocks should be installed within 24 hours of installing the system controller. After 24 hours, the system controller will enter Quiet Mode. Pressing 3-5-7 on the keypad will disable Quiet Mode for 6 hours. Reference Appendix J in the SiteSync IQ Installation and Operation Manual for more details on Quiet Mode.
QUICK START INSTALLATION GUIDE

c. When the signal is received, the LED will flash green.
Be patient. The clock hands will rapid advance to the correct time. This may take up to seven minutes.
d. Hang the clock after hands are rapid advancing.
Note: If the LED does not flash within 30 seconds, remove the barrel jack plug of the battery pack from the wireless receiver for 5 seconds and reconnect it. This resets the receiver. The LED will begin flashing within 30 seconds.
10. Digital Clocks
a. Take the clock to the area where it will be used.
b. To activate the clock, connect power.
