OPERATION
This unit contains a pre-tuned internal radio receiver that
receives a 60 kHz frequency signal generated by the U.S.
Atomic Clock. The U.S. Atomic Clock is located in Boulder
Colorado and is operated by NIST (National Institute of Stan-
dards and Technology).
Upon installation of the batteries, the unit automatically
activates its receiver. It attempts to receive the signal every
four (4) hours and make any necessary changes to the
display.
You may not receive a signal immediately. It may take as
long as 72 hours to receive a complete signal from the Atomic
Clock. While the unit is attempting to receive a complete
signal for the first time, the clock may be set manually (see
"Manual Clock Setting" section). Best signal reception often
occurs between midnight and 4 a.m.
Successful reception of the Atomic Clock signal is depen-
dent upon positioning and location of the unit. Insufficient
signal strength or external electrical interference may prevent
unit from receiving a complete signal. Main causes for poor
reception are heavily reinforced concrete and steel structures
and/or placement of unit close to video or PC monitors.
Certain areas of Eastern United States may experience urban
interference from United Kingdom’s Atomic Clock that distort
or interfere with the signal from U.S. Atomic Clock.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
1. Lift the battery compartment door on back of unit.
2. Insert 2 AA Alkaline batteries using +/- signs inside
battery compartment for correct placement.
NOTE: After installing batteries, you may wish to manually
set all functions. Instructions follow for setting calendar, time
and temperature preferences.
SETTING CALENDAR
This unit constantly displays the current month, date and day
of the week.
To set the calendar:
1. On back of the unit, slide the LOCK/TIME SET/CALENDAR
switch to the CALENDAR position.
2. Press MONTH, DATE, and YEAR buttons until the correct
settings are displayed.
3. Slide the LOCK/TIME SET/CALENDAR switch to the LOCK
position.
NOTE: An incorrect calendar setting will automatically be
adjusted (i.e., April 31 will be adjusted to April 1 and with the
exception of a Leap Year - February 29 will be adjusted to
February 1).
NOTE: Year is not viewable in LOCK or TIME SET mode. To
view year, switch to CALENDAR position.

TRACEABLE® DIGITAL RADIO ATOMIC WALL CLOCK INSTRUCTIONS

Calendar/Thermometer Clock displays the current time of
day in either 12- or 24-hour format. To set:
1. Slide the LOCK/TIME SET/CALENDAR switch to TIME
SET position.
2. On the back of the unit slide the time zone switch to the
appropriate position (i.e. EST, CST, MST or PST).
3. Slide the DST (Daylight Savings Time) to the ON position
unless you are in an area without Daylight Savings Time
(i.e. parts of Arizona and Indiana).
4. On the back of the unit, press the 12/24 HR button to
select between a 12-hour (A.M./P.M.) and a 24-hour
(international) time format.
5. Press the HOUR and MIN buttons until the current time is
displayed.
6. Slide the LOCK/TIME SET/CALENDAR switch to the
LOCK position.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
This unit constantly displays the current room temperature in
either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C). To
choose a temperature scale depress °C/°F button on the
back of the unit with the tip of a pen until the desired tem-
perature scale (°C or °F) is displayed on front of the unit.
Each press of the °C/°F button toggles between degrees
Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If external “noise” is severe, the clock may display irrelevant
time even when the “Wave Symbol” shows that reception is
good. Press the RESET button on the back of the unit with
the tip of a pen or the “wave” button on the bottom of the
clock. The clock will start to search for the signal and reset
itself.
ON A WALL
This clock is supplied with a screw for hanging on a wall.
For best viewing of the LCD, hang the clock at a minimum
height of 6 foot 5 inches to obtain the viewing angle of
approximately 70° as indicated.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This product is engineered to provide years of satisfactory
service if handled carefully. Here are a few precautions:
1. Never use chemicals such as benzene or petroleum-
based solvents for cleaning, as they may damage the
case.
2. Do NOT expose the clock to direct sunlight, spotlight, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures.
3. Clean the case by using a cloth slightly dampened with
water and wipe dry.
OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this clock does not function properly for any reason,
replace the batteries with new, high-quality batteries (see
“Battery Replacement “ section). Low battery power can
occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational
difficulties, such as screen dimming or difficulty in reading
the display. Replacing the batteries with new, fresh batteries
will solve most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, a faint display, or no display are indicators
that the batteries must be replaced. Lift the battery compart-
ment door on back of unit. Remove the exhausted batteries
and replace with two new AA alkaline batteries. Replace the
battery compartment door. The clock will start running from
12:00 a.m., January 1, 1999.
