THE SKYSCAN ATOMIC CLOCKAND RADIO
With the SkyScan Atomic Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the
continent. It can receive the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates
less than 1 second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB,
60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be received
anywhere in the continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible
with a portable radio. It is expected that the signal can cover a distance of over 2,000
miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive the signal within the
broadcast range anywhere anAM signal can be received; generally the signal cannot
be picked up in massive metal and concrete structures unless near a window. In
addition, some environmental effects (see next page) may affect the transmitting
distance.
For more information, please refer to the NIST WWVB website at:
http://www.tf.nist.gov
INSTALLATION
For best reception of atomic time signal and radio, keep your clock radio close to a
window and away from metal surfaces, electrical appliances and strong magnetic field.
Keep your clock radio at least 3 feet away from theAC outlet or AC/DC adaptor.
Plug the AC/DC adaptor to an U.S. household AC outlet, then plug the DC jack to the
back of the clock radio. Your clock radio is ready to work for you.
BATTERY BACK-UPINSTALLATION
In the event that the AC/DC adaptor power is disconnected or a power failure or other
interruptions occur, the back-up batteries will maintain the time and alarm settings.
Wake-by-Buzzer still functions by battery back-up. The radio, projection clock, LCD
backlite and the Wake-by-Radio will resume when AC power is restored.
1. Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the clock radio.
2. Insert 3 x AAA batteries (alkaline batteries preferred) by observing the + and -
polarity signs inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover, making sure the cover locks into place.

Note: There is a FM antenna next to the battery compartment. Release and extend
the FM wire antenna fully through the small opening at the bottom case. Do not strip,
alter or attach to other antennas.
ENVIRONMENTALRECEPTION EFFECTS:
The SkyScanAtomic Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same
as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, to
the following circumstances:
Long transmitting distance
Nearby mountains and valleys
Among tall buildings
Near railway, high voltage cable, etc
Near freeway, airport, etc
Near construction site
Inside concrete buildings
Near electrical appliances
Near computers and televisions
Bad weather locally or electrical storms between you and Colorado
Inside moving vehicles
Nearby metallic structures
LOCATION PRECAUTIONS:
This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a
window or some other location where the reception is good. Avoid the following
location, which can interfere with proper reception.
1. Synchronization signal reception can be received in Continental USA only. In
other areas, you can still use this clock by setting the time manually.
2. Place your clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e.: close to a window and
away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.
After the clock is powered up, the WWVB time code reception will automatically
start with the icon blinking. The clock will automatically update itself to the exact
time after receipt of the WWVB time code. This typically takes over night. Once a
successful code is received, the radio reception icon will appear on the front display.
The clock will automatically attempt to receive the WWVB signal every night at 1:00
am, 3:00am, and 5:00 am.
