Head H1 or H2 5 What is Atomic Radio Control? The most precise time keeping device on earth is the atomic clock. It keeps time to the accuracy of better than 1 second for every mil- lion years. The atomic clock is a huge piece of scientific equipment and it is so expensive that it is normally found in laboratories and standards institutions, etc.
Note: The clock is for use in the continental USA only . In Alaska and Hawaii, the radio signal may not be strong enough for syn- chronization and therefore the clock can only be used as a normal quartz clock that can be set manually .

interference. A strong signal is normally found close to the window . In some areas where the signal is poor , you may need to position and rotate the clock until the best signal strength is obtained. Once you have found the optimal position, leave the clock still so that it can receive a clear signal.
Head H1 or H2 9 to synchronize. Once it is successful, the clock displays extremely accurate time and the correct date. A successfully synchronized clock features a non-blinking antenna icon and a radiating beacon. The synchronized clock attempts to refresh itself with the radio time signal at least once a day .
Setting the Clock I n normal display mode, press MODE button to view the following in this order: Current Date (month, day and year); Current T ime; and Daily Alarm T ime. After releasing the MODE button, the screen returns to normal display in 10 seconds.

Press the MODE button to enter Mode A (Calendar with Y ear). T o enter the Y ear mode, press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds. The last two digits of the year blink. Press ADD or SUB button to enter correct year , then press the SET button to set month and day .
Setting the Clock Note: If in 12-hour mode, a.m. or p.m. appears. Daily alarm sound can be identified by short, rapid beeps. When the alarm is beep- ing , you can turn it off by pressing any button, except the SNOOZE button, on the back of the clock for 2 seconds.
Head H1 or H2 In order to “predict” the correct weather , you must set the approxi- mate altitude of your location because the atmospheric pressure varies at different altitudes. Press the SET button. The barometer changes to the altitude of your location.
T o determine your altitude, either contact your local library or visit http://www .worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/elvation.htm . (The W eb - site listed appears only as a helpful reference. The W ebsite, its name and logos remain the sole property of the owners of the W ebsite and of the trademark.
F or example, 1003 -2 on the LCD means the pressure measurement is 1003 mbar) and the -2 means the data was collected 2 hours ago. By comparing the pressure value (mbar), it provides a hint to predict the weather condition. If the pressure value is rising , the weather condition may improve.
Reading the T emperature T o select either °C or °F , press the °C/°F . The weather station can show a temperature between 14°F and 122°F (-10°C and 50°C). If the temperature exceeds the maximum, HI appears on the LCD . Note: The operating temperature range of the clock is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
Notes: • W eather instruments take some time to respond to sudden changes in temperature and relative humidity . Placing the clock in a location with free airflow helps the instruments obtain a quicker and more accurate reading . • When the temperature is at or below 32°F (0°C), the LCD shows --% for humidity .
