ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency

Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact

time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be

received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Moon Phase Clock.

However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during

daylight hours. The Moon Phase Clock will search for a signal every night when

reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic

clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every

second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These

physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770

vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. This Moon Phase Clock is regulated by

the WWVB transmitter.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1) Insert two AA batteries into the Moon Phase Clock.

2) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception.

3) If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions

in the Program Mode).

4) Program the settings.

5) Mount the WS-8001U in a suitable location, where WWVB signals can be

received.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

I) BATTERY INSTALLATION

Note: To avoid start-up problems make sure that the batteries do not spring free.

A) MOON PHASE CLOCK

1) Remove the battery cover,

located on the backside of the

unit and directly below the

function buttons.

2) Observe the correct polarity,

and install 2 AA batteries.

3) Replace the battery cover.

Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and all the

LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Display) will briefly light up. Then the indoor

temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the weekday as “MON”, and the Moon

Phase will be displayed. Also, the time will appear as “-:--” for

approximately 1 minute. Then the WWVB search is automatically initiated,

and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon

will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected). While the WWVB

search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display.

The numbers “0”, “1”, or “8” will appear in the hour position and the

seconds will appear in the minute display. The Moon Phase Clock will

either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search after 10 minutes if

the time is not found. When the search is cancelled “-:--”will appear in the

time LCD. The Moon Phase Clock will conduct a WWVB search every hour

until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is

automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at

midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place

every hour(up to 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal

is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will

search again at 12:00 am the next night.

I) FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS

The Foldout table stand legs are located on the backside,

at the lower corners, and on both sides of the battery

cover. The hinges are towards the edges of the Moon

Phase Clock, and the ends (with no hinge) need to be

folded out towards the edge. Once the Foldout table

stands are extended, place the Moon Phase Clock in an

appropriate location.

II) WALL MOUNTING

1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 3-

15/16 of an inch (100.58mm) three screw

positions on a wall.

2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into

a wall within transmission range—leaving

approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended

from the wall.

3) Place the Moon Phase Clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on

the backside. Gently pull the Moon Phase Clock down to lock the screws

into place.
