ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency

Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. 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 projection alarm.

However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during

daylight hours. The projection alarm 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 is continually measuring every second,

of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per 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. For more information about WWVB please see the NIST

website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1) Insert two AA batteries into the projection alarm and/or plug into wall.

Note: Do not press any buttons until the WWVB time signal is received or

reception errors may occur.

2) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception.

3) If there is no WWVB reception manually set the time and date (instructions

in the Program Mode).

4) Program the settings.

5) Mount the WT-5720 in a suitable location, where WWVB signal can be

received.

6) 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.

7) See the “Features” section III for instructions on projection direction, etc.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

I. BATTERY INSTALLATION

A. Projection Alarm

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.

3. In addition or instead of

inserting batteries, the AC

adapter can be used. Simply

plug the adapter into the

receptacle on the underneath of

the alarm clock and then plug

in 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.

Note:After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and the LCD

(Liquid Crystal Display) will activate. The indoor temperature and the U.S.

map will be displayed and the time will appear as “-:--”. 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 remain on “-:--”). While the WWVB

search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display.

After 10 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

“-:--” will remain in the time LCD. 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 appear. If not, another

search will take place every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is received

successfully. If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not

appear and the clock will search again at 12:00 am the next night.

II. PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode, hold down the “SET” button for 1 second, until the time

zone (“-5” default) flashes in the lower right. The program mode guide is laid out in

a manner that allows you to program each function separately, or you can follow the

instructions entirely to program the projection alarm. Complete programming is

usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip to step 4 of

programming sections “D” through “H”. Press and release the “SNOOZE” button

at any time to exit the program mode, or wait approximately 15 seconds for the

projection alarm to automatically return to normal operation.

2. When the signal is being received, there will be a “tower” icon flashing to the

right of the time display.

3. When the time signal has been received successfully, the tower icon will remain

steady until midnight.

7. For more detail, visit http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.htm. To listen to the

NIST time, call (303) 499-7111. This number will connect you to an automated

time, announced at the top of the minute in “Coordinated Universal Time”,

which is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time does not

follow Daylight Saving Time changes. After the top of the minute, a tone will

sound for every second.

8. It is possible that your projection alarm may not be exactly on the second due to

the variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over

the course of several days to be very accurate; under 0.10 seconds per day.
