To begin, insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA) while observing the correct polarity.
: For the best results, place the clock near a window, ideally facing toward the signal transmitter (e.g., Fort Collins, CO for WWVB). It is recommended to perform the initial setup at night when atmospheric interference is minimal. Manual Time and Calendar Settings
: Keep the device at least 8 feet away from electronics like TVs or computers, which cause interference.
: Slide the main switch to TIME SET or hold the SET button for 3 seconds until the digits flash.
: When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE bar at the top. This typically silences the alarm for 4 to 5 minutes before it sounds again. Troubleshooting Tips
: Use the HOUR/MONTH and MIN/DATE buttons to reach the desired values.
If you are outside a signal range, you can set the clock manually to function as a standard quartz timepiece.
Setting the alarm follows a similar logic to the time setup.
