Congratulations on your purchase of the Reizen Atomic Talking Analog Alarm Clock, which combines the
traditional styling of an analog face, the added functionality of a time and date announcement and the convenience
of the atomic (radio controlled) feature that automatically sets the never having to set the time.
Other features include an easy-to-set alarm with 2 large buttons, adjustable volume control (High, Medium, Low,
Off) and a soft LED backlight.
As you read through this Instruction Manual, please refer to the diagrams on the previous page to identify all but-
tons and switches on the clock.
Automatic Time Setting
The Reizen Atomic Talking Analog Alarm Clock automatically adjusts itself to the precise correct time through a
radio signal received daily at 3:00AM from the US Atomic Clock, the nation’s timekeeper. After reception of the
signal it will reflect the correct time in both the talking mode and on the analog clock face.
The clock also automatically accounts for daylight savings time (Note: The daylight savings mode can be turned
off.) The clock may also be manually set for travel abroad or for use in locations that may not receive the atomic
radio signal.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Your clock is a very delicate and precise instrument. Although uncommon, hard knocks or vibrations can cause the
hands to move irregularly, and therefore display the incorrect time, although the internal clock is keeping accurate
time. You may notice this when the clock is able to receive a signal and announce the right time but the hands are
not synchronized with the talking time. If this occurs, the clock needs to be reset. Please go to “Reset the Clock” for
details.
Reset the Clock:
1. Press S6 (Reset) with a ball pen to reset the clock.
2. The clock will align the hands to 12 o’clock automatically and then perform a signal reception.
3. Put the clock in a location where signal reception is possible after the clock is reset
4. It shows the right time after a signal is received. This may take up to 24 hours depending on your location and
the time the clock is reset.
5. US users must set the right Time Zone after the clock is able to pick up signal. Go to “US Time Zone Setting”
for details.
Clock Not Receiving Time Signal:
Reasons for not being able to receive the Time Signal include:
- Being outside of the US signal area
- Being in a built up area (ex. apartment buildings)
- Metal objects blocking the radio signal
- Interference by a computer or TV monitor
If your clock is unable to make contact with the radio signal, it will continue to function in the same way as a stan-
dard clock. The time will be corrected the next time your clock receives the time signal.
Clock Stops and no talking function:
When the battery is low, the clock hands will stop and talking function is terminated. It is time to change the
batteries. Please go to the “Battery Change” for details.
