INTRODUCTION  
The Model 1600E  
Using the same technology NASA employs to tell time, the Model 1600E wirelessly  
synchronizes with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's atomic clock in Boulder,  
Colorado. In addition to confirming the time daily, the 1600E automatically adjusts for Daylight  
Saving Time. No wires, no worries, and no more excuses for being late.  
About Your Atomic Clock  
In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 1600E contains an antenna and a microchip.  
The antenna receives the official time signal from the US Government's National Institute of  
Standards and Technology and the microchip translates the time signal and adjusts the time  
display to the correct time. The Model 1600E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio  
signal from the WWVB radio station maintained by the National Institute of Standards and  
Technology (NIST). The NIST, using its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for the US and is  
located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 1600E will work anywhere it can receive the WWVB  
signal from the NIST. This signal is broadcast to reach across the continental US and into parts of  
Canada and Mexico. To learn more about the NIST time correction technology used in the  
Model 1600E, you can visit: http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/

USING TRU-ALIGN  
About Tru-Align  
The 1600E’s unique Tru-Align option ensures that employee punches are perfectly aligned on the  
time card. A sensor on the unit reads special markings on Tru-Align time cards and prints  
automatically when the card is properly aligned. This eliminates misaligned punches and  
overprinting of lines, and provides a clean and easy to read time card.  
Tru-Align Time Cards  
Tru-Align requires the use of Lathem’s special Tru-Align Time Cards. These cards contain  
special markings that allow the 1600E to print automatically when the card is aligned, and  
Tru-Align is enabled. See instructions below to enable Tru-Align. A pack of E16 Weekly  
Tru-Align Time Cards are included. You can purchase additional Tru-Align Time Cards online  
Enabling Tru-Align  
By default, Tru-Align is Off.  
To enable Tru-align, follow two easy steps:  
1. Set Print Position Adjuster – the print position adjuster on the  
bottom of the units must be set to the back position indicated by  
the label. (See next page).  
2. Set Print Activation – change the Print Activation to  
option (4) Tru-Align. (See page 19).

SETTING THE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME  
Automatic DST correction (recommended)  
By default, the daylight saving time is already set to start on the second Sunday of March and to  
end on the first Sunday of November. However, if you once disabled this function and want to  
set it again or change starting and/or ending date, please change dates as follows.  
Once you reset the unit, setting of daylight saving time will return to the default value.  
Example: Start date Sunday, March 8, 2015.  
End date Sunday, November 1, 2015.  
If you set as the above, the time clock remembers the start date as the second Sunday of  
March and the end date as the first Sunday of November. Once set, the time clock  
automatically updates the settings every year thereafter. No further manual setting is necessary.

RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION  
About Radio Signal Reception  
The Model 1600E is programmed to see the WWVB radio signal everyday. Initially the time  
recorder will search for a signal immediately after you set the time zone. Once the clock has  
initially set, it will search for the signal 12 times per day to maintain accuracy. The WWVB signal  
is the strongest early in the morning, when there is the least amount of interference from other  
sources.  
There are some environments and weather conditions that may influence the reception of the AM  
radio signal. Just as with an AM radio, the Model 1600E can be positioned for optimal reception.  
For instance, it is best to position the clock away from metal studs and toward the direction of the  
tower in Colorado. Since this time recorder contains a highly accurate quartz timer, it will function  
with a very high level of accuracy between signal receptions. The Model 1600E will operate as  
normal electronic time recorder without having to receive the signal. Since it is also operates as a  
highly accurate (+/- 15 seconds per month) quartz time clock, it will function properly while  
outside the reception area or if it can not receive the WWVB signal.
