Impostare

1. Installazione della batteria

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the main clock unit.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and -).
3. Chiudere il coperchio del vano batterie.
4. Open the battery compartment on the wireless outdoor sensor.
5. Insert 2 AA batteries into the outdoor sensor, observing the correct polarity.
6. Close the outdoor sensor's battery compartment cover.

2. Sincronizzazione iniziale e impostazioni

After battery installation, the clock will attempt to receive the WWVB atomic time signal and connect to the outdoor sensor. This process may take several minutes or up to 24 hours depending on your location and environmental interference.

• Fuso orario: Press the "TIME ZONE" button (often labeled "UP TIME ZONE") on the back of the clock to cycle through available time zones (PST, MST, CST, EST). Select your desired time zone.
• Formato 12/24 ore: Press the "12/24" button to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display.
• Celsius/Fahrenheit: Press the "°C/°F" button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display.
• Outdoor Sensor Pairing: If the outdoor temperature does not appear, press the "CHANNEL" button on the main unit to search for the sensor signal. Ensure the outdoor sensor is within range and not obstructed.

For optimal signal reception, place the clock away from large metal objects, electronic devices, and areas with heavy concrete or brick walls. The outdoor sensor should be placed in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and precipitation, for accurate readings.
