WHAT IS AN ATOMIC CLOCK?
An Atomic clock is a timepiece that maintains accuracy up to one second per million years using the most
precise method of time synchronization, radio signals. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and
Technologies (NIST) operates an Atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado, that transmits the time codes via the
radio station WWVB.
This quality TIMEX® clock includes a built-in receiver that picks up the Atomic radio signal from WWVB. To
maintain the best possible reception, place the unit so that the backside faces in the general direction of
Colorado.What's more, the IntelliTime® technology built into this clock makes for hassle-free automatic setting
and resetting for daylight saving time.

Most synchronization will happen at night when there is less interference.

Heavy stone or metal walls can obstruct the
signal and disrupt reception. Place the clock
at least 3 feet (0.91 m) from other electronic
devices (i.e. TV’s, microwaves, computers,
etc.) that can interfere with wireless signals.
In the event you wish to manually change the clock settings,
please use the instructions on page 5.
You may be experiencing interference from
other wireless devices using the same radio
frequency channel. This clock comes equipped
with 3 RF signal channels. Inside the battery
compartments of both units, you’ll find an
ABC Switch. This switch allows you to toggle
between the 3 channels to find that provides
optimum reception.
Poor Outdoor
Sensor Reception
(No bars)
Battery Choice & Temperature Range:
extended periods of extreme cold temperatures (be-
low -4̊f/ -20̊c) can cause alkaline batteries to func-
tion improperly. this may cause the outdoor wireless
sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. we
recommend using lithium batteries in extreme low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation
of the outdoor sensor.

Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless
sensor. Both units must be within 100 feet
(30m) of each other. Make sure units are
placed at least 3 feet from other electronic
devices or appliances that may interfere
with the wireless communication (i.e. TV’s,
microwaves, computers, etc.)
You may need to reset both units by
removing and re-installing the batteries.
Battery Power Consumption:
the following chart represents estimated battery life expectations based on how you use the indiglo® backlight
feature. Results may vary.
Check to make sure the batteries are installed
correctly. Use only fresh STANDARD “AA”
batteries, not generic or extra strength. Make
certain that the batteries are FRESH. If the
