[. . . ] WS-8016U ATOMIC CLOCK WITH OUTDOOR WIRELESS TEMPERATURE Instruction Manual INTRODUCTION: Congratulations on purchasing this state-of-the-art Atomic Clock as an example of superior design and engineering. Providing WWVB radio-controlled time, date, time zone, indoor and outdoor temperature display, this innovative clock is ideal for home or office use. By reading this operating manual, the user will however receive a better understanding of the Atomic Clock together with the optimum benefit of all its features. Note: In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 5 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur. FUNCTION KEYS The Atomic Clock has four easy to use keys: SET key : To enter into the set mode for the following functions: time zone, DST ON/OFF (daylight saving time), language, hour, minute, year, month, day, weekday, 12/24 hour, ºC or ºF temperature display + key : To toggle between the second, temperature or weekday display To change any values in manual set mode ALM key : To enter into the alarm set mode To set the alarm ON/OFF SNZ key : To activate the snooze function during alarm To display the alarm time in normal mode display To exit the setting modes FEATURES: ATOMIC CLOCK: LCD1 display LCD2 display ATOMIC CLOCK LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS The Atomic Clock's LCD is divided into 2 sections and once the batteries are inserted, all the segments will light up briefly before displaying the information for time, date, indoor and outdoor temperatures. [. . . ] Collins, Colorado and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Atomic Clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Atomic Clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9, 192, 631, 770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Atomic Clock, the WWVB tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the top center of the LCD. This indicates that the clock has detected a radio signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower does not appear at all, then please take note of the following: · Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters). · Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter. · During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second. Note: In case the Atomic Clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc. ), the time can be manually set (please refer to notes on Manual time setting) DATE SETTING 1. The digits for the date will start flashing on LCD2 (Default setting 1). Note: The date can only be set in conjunction with the selected month. For example, it is not possible to set the date 30 if the month of February is selected. Press and release the SET key to enter the "Weekday Setting". WEEKDAY SETTING 1. The weekday symbols will be displayed on LCD2 in the pre-set language and flashing. Press and release the SET key to enter the mode "12/24 Hours Time Display Setting". 12/24 HOURS TIME DISPLAY SETTING 1.
