GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS

LCD

“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in

televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

LED

“LED” is an acronym for “Light-Emitting Diode”. This type of light is used to illuminate a variety of

displays such as a digital clock or watch.

NIST

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (Time and Frequency division) maintains the

primary frequency standard for the United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time

and frequency standards with other world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services

for United States clientele.

WWVB

The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST. The WWVB’s

function is to broadcast time-of-day information derived from the NIST atomic clock, located in

Boulder, Colorado.

ATOMIC CLOCK

An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the movements of electrons

in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to

10 billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks

calculating the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—the official world time.

RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

A radio controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio controlled

time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna.

The radio controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from

the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio

controlled time device.

For more information regarding the NIST, WWVB, atomic clock, and radio controlled time, please visit

the NIST official website: http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

I. QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1. We recommend beginning the set-up procedure at night when the

WWVB signal is easiest to receive.

2. It is also highly recommended to set the projection alarm in a window

or other area free of interference in the area of your home that is

closest to Colorado (the source of the WWVB signal).

NOTE: The above steps are not required but can help the projection

alarm receive the signal faster.

3. Install the batteries in the projection alarm clock.

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

NOTE: It is important to not press any buttons after inserting batteries as

this will interrupt the WWVB search sequence.

In this time the display will show the indoor temperature. If the station does not

display the indoor temperature after the 15 minutes please retry the set-up as

stated above. After the indoor temperature displays for 15 minutes you may

place the projection alarm in your desired location.

To complete the set-up of your temperature station after the 15 minutes have

passed, please follow the steps beginning on page 6.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

A. BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery cover on the backside of

the projection alarm.

2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA

batteries.

3. In addition to or instead of installing batteries,

the AC adapter can be used. Simply plug the

adapter into the receptacle on the underneath

side of the alarm clock, and then plug in the

adapter.

4. Replace the battery cover.

5. The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If only

batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is pressed. The

projection is a red light, not harmful under normal usage, although care should be

taken to not look directly into the light.

Notes:

•After the batteries have been installed, the LCD will activate, and you will hear a

beep.

•The indoor temperature will be displayed, and the time will appear as “12:00 AM”.

•The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon appears and

flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to

be detected, and the time display will start from 12:00 AM).

•While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the

time display.

•After 15 minutes, the projection alarm will either display the WWVB time, or

discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the search is cancelled the time

will continue from 12:00 AM.

•The projection alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour until the first signal

is found.

•Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically conducted nightly at

midnight.

•If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search

will take place every hour (until 6:00 AM) until the signal is found successfully.

•If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear, and the

clock will search again at midnight the next night.

•The radio-controlled time receiver is located on the bottom side of the projection

alarm. When using the AC adaptor be sure to keep the adapter cord away from

the bottom side of the unit; as it can cause weakened reception of the radio

controlled signal.
