3. Setup Guide

3.1 Ngabongkar sareng Pasang Batré

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the main atomic clock unit and the wireless outdoor sensor. Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.

  • Unit Utama: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main clock unit. Insert 3 x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  • Sensor outdoor nirkabel: Open the battery compartment on the back of the sensor. Insert 2 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).

3.2 Penempatan Sensor Nirkabel

For accurate outdoor temperature readings, place the wireless sensor within 100 feet (30 meters) of the main unit. Choose a location that is:

  • Protected from direct sunlight and precipitation.
  • Away from large metal objects or electrical devices that could interfere with the signal.
  • Ideally, on a north-facing wall or in a shaded area to prevent inaccurate temperature readings due to solar radiation.

3.3 Initial Atomic Time Synchronization

After battery installation, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the WWVB radio signal. This process may take several minutes to up to 48 hours, especially if the signal is weak or during daytime hours. For best reception, place the clock near a window and away from electronic interference.

The atomic clock will always be accurate to within one second as it receives daily WWVB updates. If the clock does not receive the WWVB signal immediately, just wait overnight, and it should be set in the morning.

6.1 No Outdoor Temperature Display

If your outdoor temperature is not showing on your clock, it may mean that the clock and the transmitter have lost their connection. To reconnect them:

  1. First, take the batteries out of both the main unit and the outdoor sensor for 15 minutes.
  2. Then, put the batteries back into the transmitter (sensor) first, followed by the main clock unit.
  3. Let them sit side by side inside your home. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures show on your clock with the same reading, or within two degrees of each other, then you may put your transmitter back outside.
  4. Remember to keep the transmitter out of direct sun in a dry place and away from metal, which can affect the readings.
