512-811 Atomic Clockwith Weather ForecastQuick setup manualSET UP:INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE TRANSMITTER: Remove the screws and the battery cover from the back of the W186-E transmitter with a small screwdriver. Select the channel to transmit the outdoor temperature to the display.NOTE: if using more than one transmitter, set each to a differentchannel to be displayed on the clock. Insert two fresh AAA alkaline batteries into the transmitter,observing the correct polarity (see markings in battery compartment). Select Fahrenheit or Celsius for the sensor display. Press TX button to send a signal to the clock. Keep transmitter 5-10 feet from the clock The transmitter display should be showing a temperature reading.If not please check battery polarity or try a new set of batteries.INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE CLOCK: Remove the battery cover from the clock: Insert a finger in the rounded depression at the bottom ofthe battery cover. Lift up and pull out to remove battery cover. Install three fresh AA alkaline batteries according to the polaritymarkings. Replace battery cover. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light upbriefly. Then the indoor temperature will be displayed. If the indoortemperature is not shown in the LCD after 60 seconds, remove thebatteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Within three minutes the outdoor temperature should be displayed onthe clock. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed within threeminutes, remove the batteries from both units and start again. In order to ensure sufficient 434 MHz transmission, the outdoortransmitter should be placed a distance of no more than 100 feet (30meters, open air) from the Atomic clock.WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIMEThe NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado andtransmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through theinternal antenna in the atomic clock. However, due to the nature of theEarth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. Theatomic clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best.If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower doesnot appear at all, then check the following: Recommended distance from any interfering sources like computermonitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), thereceived signal is weakened. In extreme cases, please placethe unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards theFort Collins, Colorado, transmitter. During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severeand reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception isadequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.WWVB RECEPTION icon with full signal strength will appear onscreen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic clock willhave a daily synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 everyday. Each receptioncycle is minimum 2.5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes.BUTTONS: Zz/CH, SET, AL, +/ , -/CF, ZONE.NOTE: The time cannot be manually set while the clock is activelysearching for a WWVB signal.
