Signal Strength Indicator
The signal indicator displays signal strength in
4 levels. Wave segment flashing means time
signals are being received. The signal quality could
be classified into 4 types:
No signal quality
Weak signal quality
Acceptable signal quality
Excellent signal quality
If the clock receives the signal successfully,
a sync-time symbol will appear on the LCD.
This indicates that the unit has already received
the time signal. Otherwise, the signal strength symbol
will disappear from the LCD display.
Note: You may use the RCC button to receive the time
signal manually. The unit will exit the receive mode
automatically after 6-12 minutes. However, receive
mode consumes more battery power, and may reduce
battery lifetime.

Troubleshooting and Tips
This clock is designed to set itself automatically
by syncing with the U.S. Atomic Clock in Colorado.
However, atmospheric conditions may delay the
syncing process. You may choose to set this clock
manually. Then, when there is less interference
(usually around midnight) the clock will sync
automatically. For best results:
1. Set up the clock at night and let the clock receive
the signal automatically.
2. Place this unit away from interference sources,
such as a TV set or computer.
3. Avoid placing the unit on or near metal plates.
4. Enclosed areas, such as basements, are not
recommended.
5. Do not attempt to set up the unit in a moving
vehicle, such as a car or train.
6. This unit is designed to sync automatically in
4 U.S. time zones only: Pacific, Mountain, Central
and Eastern. This clock can be used in other time
zones, however you must set the time manually.
