Warranty Notice
Any claim for warranty, express or implied, due to the clocks failure to properly
receive the radio signal because of interference, whatever may be the source of this
interference, are hereby expressly excluded.
The PIX-75 has the atomic clock (radio-controlled clock) feature which displays the
current time precisely by automatically receiving time code signals on long wave
radio from the transmitting station. The unit receives the time code signal via its
built-in antenna system.
Note:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION…..
To ensure safe operation, please carefully read the following warnings and cautions prior to using the
PIX-75 Electronic time recorder/stamp.
Warning
Do not disassemble the unit. There is a high voltage present inside, possibly leading to an
electric shock.
Do not modify the unit. Modifications may cause a fire and/or electric shock.
If any anomaly occurs, for example, heat or smoke is generated or an odor is emitted,
unplug the unit immediately and contact your dealer for servicing. There is a danger that
further use may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not use any voltage of the power source other than designated.
Do not share a single outlet with another plug. These may lead to fire or shock hazards.
Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Do not put a heavy object on, pull, or
forcefully bend the cord, either. These may damage the cord, possibly resulting in a fire or
electric shock.
If foreign matter should get in the unit (including a piece of metal, water, or liquid),
disconnect the plug from the outlet immediately and contact your dealer for servicing.
There is a danger that further use may cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not plug or unplug the unit with a wet hand. You may get an electric shock.
Caution
Do not place the unit on an uneven or tilted surface. This may result in injuries due to the
unit dropping or falling off.
Do not put a water-filled container or a metal object on top of the unit. If water is spilled or
the metallic object slips inside, a fire or shock hazard may occur.
Do not install the unit in a humid or dusty environment. It may cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not place the unit near kitchen counter or humidifier. Oil, smoke, or steam generating
from them may cause fire or shock hazards.
Do not yank the power cord to disconnect from the outlet. Hold the plug with your hand to
do so, or the cord may be damaged, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.
Remove the line cord plug from the outlet before transferring the unit, or it may damage
the cord, possibly leading to a fire or electric shock.
Be careful not to contact the print head, as you may get hurt or burned.
Make sure to insert the power plug as far as it will go. Improper insertion of the plug may
develop fire or shock hazards.
Do not insert or drop any other time card than specified into the slot. Such misuse may
cause a fire or electric shock.
If the unit should be dropped or the case is broken, unplug the unit and contact your dealer
for servicing. Further use may lead to a fire or shock hazard.

PIX-75 Symbol Printing
If the print format is not acceptable to the user, the user can create a
maximum of 2 print lines for their desired print format.
If only line 1 is programmed, the user can print the line automatically (paper
sensor) or manually (either one of two top print buttons) based on the “print
method” selected. If line 1 and line 2 are both programmed, the user can
print the lines via these options:
If the “print method” is set to “Auto”, the clock will print line 1 the first
time paper is inserted, and print line 2 the second time the paper is
inserted. Repeat this pattern for subsequent printing.
Note –After line 1 is printed, the user has to insert the paper
before the 5 second timeout for line 2 occurs in order to print line
2. Otherwise, the clock will print Line 1 after the Line 2 timeout.
If the “print method” is set to “Manual”, the clock will print line 1 when
user presses the top left button [labeled minus], and print line 2 when
user presses the top right button [labeled plus] (see Figure 8 & Figure 9
on page 46) without using the paper sensor.
All available symbols are listed in the following table with the length
expressed in dots and percent of maximum line length allowed (160 dots).
