CARING FOR THIS PRODUCT
To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from using
this product, please observe the following guidelines.
Do not clean any part of the product with benzene,
thinner or other solvent chemicals - this may cause
permanent damage that is not covered by the
guarantee. When necessary, clean it with a damp
cloth.
Keep your product away from hot, humid conditions
or strong sunlight.
Every effort has been made to ensure the highest
standards of reliability for your clock with remote
nightlight. However, if something does go wrong,
please do not try to repair it yourself - consult your
supplier.
Do not use your product outdoors in the rain, or

GETTING STARTED
HOW YOUR CLOCK WORKS WITH THE
NIGHTLIGHT - OVERVIEW
The clock can be set independently to give you
time, calendar and alarm facilities.
The nightlight can be set independently to light up
in the dark so you can see where you are going.
The clock and nightlight can also be used together
to turn the clock backlight on when you walk into a
dark room, or wave your arm from the comfort of
your bed. It can do this because the nightlight has
2 types of sensor. One sensor responds to light
and the other responds to movement. From the
clock unit you can set these sensors to be active
during a certain period of time.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
When you unpack your clock with remote nightlight,
make sure you keep all the packing materials in a safe
place, in case you need to later transport the device or
return it for servicing.
In the box, you will find:
Clock Unit
Remote Nightlight
4 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V Batteries for the Clock
3 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V Batteries for the Nightlight
4.5V AC Adapter
BATTERIES
The clock uses:
4 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V batteries.
The nightlight uses:
3 x UM-3 / AA 1.5V batteries.
NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline
batteries with this product for longer performance.
To install the batteries, simply insert them making sure
they match the correct polarities (+ and -).

Clock: NOTE The nightlight has a Power ON / OFF switch to
help conserve power. Use the AC adaptor when using
the nightlight for long periods of time. The batteries
are a good power source for back-up usage.
ABOUT ATOMIC CLOCK RECEPTION
This clock can automatically synchronize the date and
time with an official time-keeping organization in
Boulder, Colorado. The unit can pick up an atomic clock
signal when it is within 932 miles (1500 km) of Boulder.
NOTE For best results, place the unit away from metal
or electrical objects, and near a window with a clear
view to the sky.
TURNING THE ATOMIC CLOCK RECEPTION ON / OFF
To turn the atomic clock reception on:
Press and hold the clock button for 2 seconds.
The atomic clock reception icon will appear and
flash on the display to indicate it is searching for
the atomic clock signal.
Once batteries have been installed in the clock, the
reception icon will flash to indicate it is searching for a
signal.
When the reception signal has been received the
reception icon will show the signal strength by
displaying between 0 and 3 waves:
To turn the atomic clock reception off:
Press and hold the button for 2 seconds.
The atomic clock reception icon will disappear from
the display.
Nightlight:
