Q: WHERE IS THE US ATOMIC CLOCK LOCATED?

A: US Atomic clock is located at Fort Collins outside Boulder, Colorado, and is operated by the US Government.

Q: WILL MY ATOMIC TIME UNIT WORK IN ALASKA AND HAWAII?

A: If used in Alaska and Hawaii, the Atomic Time clocks will not receive the RF signal from the US Atomic Clock during the normal daylight hours. The 50kW radio signal transmitted at 60 kHz frequency covers the Continental United States (CONUS) and reaches parts of Alaska and Hawaii during the night-time hours. However, this clock can be set manually if the signal from Boulder, Colorado is not able to reach the locations that geographically are not in the US Atomic Clock Time Signal coverage area.

Q: HOW DO I ENABLE ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL RECEPTION MANUALLY?

A: 1. Press and hold UP and DOWN arrow buttons at the same time for 3 seconds and the atomic time radio reception icon located above the seconds will disappear. 2. Press and hold UP and DOWN arrow buttons at the same time for 3 seconds again enabling atomic time radio receiver. The radio reception icon will start flashing showing that the unit is searching for the atomic time signal.

Q: MY PCR201W DID NOT RECEIVE ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL DURING INITIAL SETUP. HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED?

A: Please, consider the following when atomic time is not set during the initial setup: • During night-time hours, atmospheric conditions improve radio signal reception. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within milliseconds. • Unit should be positioned 8 feet (2 meters) from interference sources such as a TV, computer, microwave, etc. • The signal reception is weakened within concrete walls found in basements or office buildings. Place the unit near the window for best reception. Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the atomic time reception icon will appear. Your unit’s atomic clock is programmed to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and date will be updated automatically.

Q: HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERIES LAST IN THE UNIT?

A: The average battery life in the device is 12 months.

Q: HOW LONG WILL THE PROJECTION STAY ON?

A: Your product is able to project the time and indoor temperature image for a short period of time (5-6 seconds), or continuously (when the AC/DC adapter is connected) at the low light conditions.
