INSTANT TRANSMISSION offers you an immediate update (every 4 seconds!) of all your outdoor data measured from the transmitters: follow your climatic variations in real-time! · · · · · · · · · · · · · WWVB Radio controlled time with manual time setting 12/24 hour time display Time display: hour, minute, second Alarm setting with snooze function Calendar display Weekday display (4 languages to choose from: English, French, Spanish, and German) Time zone setting Daylight savings time ON/OFF option (DST) ºC or ºF temperature display selectable Indoor temperature display Outdoor temperature display via 915MHz transmission Wall mount or freestanding Current moon phase display OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR: · FEATURES: ATOMIC CLOCK: Hanging holes · Remote transmission of outdoor temperature to the atomic clock by 915 MHz signals Wall mounting case LCD1 display LCD2 display Holder Function keys TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE ATOMIC CLOCK The atomic clock uses 2 x AA, 1. 5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover. [. . . ] Press and release the SET key to exit the setting mode and switch back to the normal display mode. To return to the normal display mode from anywhere in manual setting mode simply press the SNZ key anytime. If no keys are pressed for at least 15 seconds in setting mode, the atomic clock will automatically switch back to normal display mode. EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODES · · 915MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR The atomic clock will receive the temperature data within 3 minutes. If the temperature data is not being received 3 minutes after setting up (the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following points: 1. The distance of the atomic clock or outdoor temperature sensor should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. ALARM SETTING To enter into the alarm setting mode: 1. The hour digits start flashing. 7 8 3. 4. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9, 192, 631, 770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB transmitter. Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the atomic clock, the WWVB tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the top center of the LCD. This indicates that the clock has detected a radio signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: · Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters). Collins, Colorado and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the atomic clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The atomic clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These New Moon Small Waxing Crescent Large Waxing First Quarter Crescent Small Waxing Gibbous Large Waxing Gibbous FullMoon Large Waning Gibbous Small Waning Gibbous Last Quarter Large Waning Crescent Small Waning Crescent 9 10 POSITIONING Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the atomic clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours.
