BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•  We recommend using alkaline batteries 

•  Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries 

cannot maintain correct power requirements).

•  Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the 

battery compartment

• Remove protective plastic screen from LCD display (if any)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Atomic Projection Clock does not work 

 

without the batteries.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

• Open the battery compartment doors
• Install 2 batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) matching the polarity   

as shown in the battery compartments

• Replace the battery compartment doors

 

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST  (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station  

(WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time 

signal continuously throughout the most of the continental United States 

at 60 KHz frequency. The Atomic Projection Clock can receive this  

WWVB signal through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. 

 

Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited 

during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an 

alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST 

Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

P.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio  

 

signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or  

 

if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the 
following: 

• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically 

less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single 
daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy 
within 1 second.

• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance 

from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, 
microwave, etc.

• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, 

the received signal may be weakened. Always place the Atomic  
Projection Clock near the window for better reception.

 

ATOMIC CLOCK
Immediately after installation of batteries, the clock will beep and display   

 

all available LCD segments for a moment. Then the atomic time signal  
receiver will start searching for the atomic time signal. It usually takes   

 

between 5-8 minutes. 
NOTE:   Do not press any buttons on the unit during auto search as it 
may interrupt product’s operation, and you will need to start the set  
up procedure again

If the reception is successful and the atomic time signal is received, the 

 

date and time will be set automatically, and the [

] icon will appear on the 

display.
NOTE: It is necessary to set your Time Zone, keeping in mind that  
the default zone is a Pacific Standard Time (PST). (
Refer to MANUAL  
SETTINGS section)

 

 

If the initial reception was not successful and the time signal has not been  

received in this first 8 minutes, you may press and hold the UP (+) and       

DOWN (-) buttons simultaneously to enforce a signal search  Or, you can 

use the MODE button to set the time and date manually. (Refer to the  

MANUAL SETTINGS section).
After the clock is set manually, place it by the window for the better 

reception. The atomic time receiver is programmed so that it will continue   

to search for the atomic time signal daily for every hour between 1:00 am 
and 4:30 am. 

NOTE: At the time of the initial reception allow at least 24 hours for    

the atomic time receiver to pick up the signal. In some cases,   

depending on the location, it may take up to 72 hours

Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and the  

date will be updated automatically.

TEMPERATURE AND ALARM WINDOW 

The Temperature and Alarm Window displays an indoor temperature  

 

and the time alarms.

TIME AND CALENDAR WINDOWS  

The Atomic Projection Clock displays time in an hour-minutes-seconds   

 

format in the Time Window located below the Temperature and Alarm   

 

 

Window

The date is displayed in month-date format next to the day of the week 

 

 

 

 

 

and moon phase icon in the Calendar Window.
