Option 2A
Go to the nearest clock (clock #1) that has received correction and press the Transmit/Receive
switch once. The second hand should move to forty (40) seconds, and the clock should stop run-
ning. This is an indication that the clock is in transmission mode.
1. Go to the clock (clock #2) that did not receive transmission, and press the Transmit/Receive
switch twice. The second hand should move to twenty (20) seconds until the clock receives
signal from clock #1. Then clock #2 will display the master time within a five (5) minute pe-
riod. Within ten (10) minutes of Step 1, clock #1 will resume operation and will go to the cor-
rect time.
2. Continue with the same process with all of the other clocks. Please note while one (1) clock is
transmitting, you are not limited to the number of clocks that can go through the Step 2 proc-
ess.
When moving further from the transceiver, you can repeat Step 1 and Step 2 using the clock that
most recently received signal.
Option 2B (This option does not test that the distances between the clocks are sufficient)
1. Install the batteries in the clocks in the same area as the main transceiver.
2. After the clock has received signal from the transceiver and adjusted to the main transceiver
time, place the battery cover on.
3. Take each clock, while running, to its designated area and install the clock.
Operational Instructions
There is another manual option, by pressing the Transmit/Receive switch once, to enable the clock
transceiver for ten (10) minutes in order to transmit the time signal. The transceiver can be enabled
only if the clock receives a time signal within the last twelve (12) hours. In this case, the second
hand will move to the forty (40) second location, and after ten (10) minutes, the clock will resume
normal operation.
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend installing the main transceiver before the installation
of the SAL Series clocks.
The transceiver should be located in a central location, preferably in a hallway, so that there are a
minimum number of walls between the transceiver and the clocks. After the installation of the
transceiver, begin installing the clocks nearest to the transceiver; continue installing remaining
clocks working from the transceiver as the central point. In order to install the clock, simply re-
move the battery cover, and install two (2) D cell batteries (recommended battery type: Duracell
PROCELL; can be purchased through Sapling (Part # E-DBATT)). After installation of the battery,
replace the battery cover and the clock should start correcting within five (5) minutes. If correction
is not received within the first five (5) minutes, please follow these instructions. The steps on the
following pages are recommended in order to synchronize the clock system for the first time. The
steps are critical due to the fact that the clock receives and transmits every two (2) hours.
