Up Arrow keys (Figure A.2)  
Congratulations on your purchase one of the first auto-setting always-accurate  
travel alarm clock !You are one of the first people inAmerica to own the world’s  
smallest and most accurate alarm clocks. We want you to be very happy with this  
product,but please remember this is a radio wave device and not an perfect  
science. There are certain areas of the Eastern United States (see map) where  
urban interference or signals from United Kingdom’s radio control tower  
may distort or delay the time setting signal. Even thought these areas may  
have more difficulty receiving a signal, the Kids Projection Clock contains  
a very accurate quartz movement and will maintain a precise time even if  
the radio signal is missed on rare occasions.  
This key is used for manually setting the time, alarm time or calendar functions.  
Please refer to the Manual Setting instructions in these instructions for further  
information.  
NOTE : Pressing once advance the setting by increments of 1: holding the  
button down for more the three seconds will accelerate the setting to rapid ad-  
vance mode.  
MODEL : RM313PA  
WARNING : The  
key also is used to reactivate the signal reception process  
should it become disable. Please see the Trouble Shooting section for further  
information.

KIDS PROJECTION CLOCK  
ZONE (Figure A.3)  
The Kids Projection Clock is designed to automatically adjust the time signal to  
the user selected North American time zone - Pacific, Mountain, Central or East-  
ern. Pressing the ZONE button once advances the time zone setting (see US map  
figureA.9). Once the desired time zone block is highlighted on the map, the time  
will automatically adjust accordingly.  
WITH  
BACKLIGHT  
WARNING : Do not press and hold the ZONE button for more than three sec-  
onds. Use the single press method to set the time zone. Holding the button will  
turn off the automatic time signal reception. Please see the Trouble Shooting  
section for further information.  
Please also don’t hesitate to call 880-853-8883 (or email  
[email protected])if you have any question about setting up and/or using  
your new Kids Projection Clock. In the meantime, all of us at Oregon Scientific  
hope you enjoy this revolutionary advance in time keeping technology.  
ON / OFF (Figure A.4)  
This button turns the alarm function on and off. Touching the ON/OFF button  
one time will either turn the alarm on or off. Please refer to the Alarm Setting  
instructions for further information.  
KIDS PROJECTION CLOCK CONCEPT  
NOTE : When setting the alarm time, the alarm is automatically turned on. If  
The split-second, precise timeliness of your new Kids Projection Clock is achieved  
through its pre-tuned internal radio receiver that responds to a special 60 kHz  
frequency time signal generated by the U.S. Atomic Clock, one of the most  
accurate clocks in the world.  
the bell icon [  
] is visible, the alarm is “ on ”.  
Touching the ON/OFF button one time will either turn the Alarm function on or  
off.  
If you want to stop the daily alarm while leaving the pre-set time for the follow-  
ing days ’s wake-up, press the ALARM button. Pressing the ON/ OFF button to  
stop the wake up alarm will deactivate the alarm function.  
This extraordinary timepiece, located outside Boulder, Colorado, is operated by  
the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and  
Technology.  
Your Kids Projection Clock automatically activates its receiver immediately upon  
battery insertion and then six times every 24 hours and make any necessary  
adjustments in its time display. It usually takes about 3-7 minutes for the clock  
to receive the initial Radio Signal and adjust the time, date and day accordingly.  
MODE / SET (Figure A.5)  
Press the MODE key once to switch between the display of either the Day of the  
Week or Seconds on the clock. Kids Projection Clock will continue to display  
the selected function (Day or Seconds) until the MODE button id pressed again.  
NOTE : You may not receive a signal immediately. Due to possible interference,  
the best reception often occurs between midnight and 4 a.m.  
IMPORTANT : Holding the MODE key for more than three seconds turns on  
the manual mode for setting the time, date, year and language (English/French/  
Spanish). Please refer to this section for specific setting instructions.  
The clock not only sets itself to synchronize its digital time and date with the  
Atomic clock’s signals, but it also automatically adjusts for daylight-savings  
time!  
Your clock utilizes a small internal antenna that double as the bedside/desktop  
stand. (Please see the section on “Signal Strength“ for optimal performance of  
your Kids Projection Clock)

Press the (( )) key once to show the alarm time.  
The successful reception of the long wave signal depends on the positioning and  
location of the clock. Insufficient signal strength or external electrical noises  
may prevent the unit from receiving a complete signal. The main reasons for  
poor reception are heavily reinforced concrete and steel structures, and close  
proximity to electrical units such as TV’s and PC monitors.  
The (( )) /24hOFF icon is displayed in the lower left portion of the screen to  
alert you that the display is showing the alarm time. To return to the month and  
date display, press the (( )) key once. To set the alarms please refer to the  
section on setting The Alarm.

Do not become concerned if your Kids Projection Clock does not receive a  
signal within the first few minutes. RF appliances or radios are most effec-  
tive when placed near a window, and you may need to orient the clock or  
the antenna to receive a stronger signal. Please be patient with the first  
receptions of the time signal. Once the Kids Projection Clock has received a  
time signal, updates are accomplished with greater ease. Please refer to the  
Trouble Shooting section (at the end of this booklet) for more information.

The technology underlying the radio-controlled Kids Projection Clock was pre-  
viously dedicated only to commercial and industrial uses, including aircraft and  
ship navigation, broadcasting stations, and research facilities. Oregon Scientific  
was the first company to develop a consumer-level timepiece with alarm that can  
truly be called the world’s most accurate clock.
