1. SET MINUTE AND HOUR HANDS TO THE NEAREST HOUR
Set the clock to the nearest hour (If it is 2:45, set the clock to 3:00. If it is 3:20, set
the clock to 3:00). The clock can be set in either direction, but the last 15 minutes
of adjustment to the minute hand should be done in a clockwise direction. This will
minimize gear play.
2. PRESS RED BUTTON TO IDENTIFY HAND POSITION
Insert one “AA” Alkaline battery and wait a couple of seconds (about 3-5 seconds). Then
quickly press the red button 4 to 5 times. This tells the microprocessor that the minute
hand is at the 12 and turns on the receiver.
3. SETUP IS NOW COMPLETE
After the above setting process has been completed, the clock will begin to seek out
the time signal broadcasted. Once the time signal has been received by the clock the
minute hand will advance (8 times speed) or slow (1/5 speed) down as necessary, until
the clock sets itself to the correct time.
NOTE: After the setting process has been completed, the clock should start to beep.
The beeping will automatically stop in 20 to 30 seconds. Pressing the red
button again will activate the beeper for another 20 to 30 seconds.
About the Atomic clock
A clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a million years.
Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this accuracy by receiving a signal
from an atomic clock. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and
Technologies operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via
the radio station WWVB. The signal is transmitted in a very low frequency (60,000 Hz). The
Chaney clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal
from the WWVB station. For the best possible reception, place the main unit with the back
side facing Colorado. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock
signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal
happens at night when there is less interference.
