Manuale di istruzioni dell'orologio da parete analogico atomico Vigorwise da 14 pollici

Introduzione

Thank you for choosing the Vigorwise 14-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock. This clock is designed for precise timekeeping, automatically synchronizing with the WWVB radio signal broadcast by the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. Featuring a durable aluminum frame and a clear, easy-to-read dial, this clock provides accurate time without manual adjustments.

Contenuto della confezione

• 1 x Vigorwise 14-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock
• 1 x Manuale di istruzioni (questo documento)

Nota: 1 x AA battery is required for operation and is not included in the package.

Istruzioni di installazione

1. Installa la batteria: Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert one (1) AA battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
2. Seleziona il fuso orario: Locate the time zone switch on the back of the clock. Select your desired time zone (PST, MST, CST, EST).
3. Sincronizzazione iniziale: After battery installation and time zone selection, the clock hands will automatically move to the 12 o'clock position and stop. The clock will then attempt to receive the WWVB atomic signal. This process can take several hours, especially if the signal is weak. For best results, allow the clock to synchronize overnight.
4. Posizionamento ottimale: For reliable signal reception, hang the clock at least five feet (approximately 1.5 meters) away from electrical appliances such as induction cookers, microwaves, refrigerators, and televisions. These devices can interfere with the radio waves and affect the clock's accuracy.

Istruzioni per l'uso

The Vigorwise Atomic Analog Wall Clock is designed for minimal user interaction once set up. It automatically adjusts for accurate timekeeping.

Sincronizzazione automatica dell'ora

The clock will automatically attempt to receive and synchronize with the WWVB radio signal daily, typically at 12:00 AM (midnight). This ensures the clock always displays the correct time, including adjustments for Daylight Saving Time (if the DST switch is set to ON).

Manual Adjustments and Buttons

The back of the clock features several buttons and switches for specific functions:

• PMCE Switch (Time Zone): Adjusts your time zone (PST, MST, CST, EST).
• DST Switch (Daylight Saving Time): Toggle ON or OFF to enable or disable automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustments.
• REC Button (Re-acquire Signal): Press and hold for 3 seconds to manually initiate a re-acquisition of the WWVB signal. This can be useful if the clock has lost synchronization.
• Pulsante di reset: Press this button to reset the clock. The hands will move to the 12 o'clock position and stop, initiating a new synchronization attempt.
• M.SET Button (Manual Minute Hand Adjustment): After pressing the RESET button, you can advance the minute hand one minute at a time by pressing the M.SET button. This will cause the second hand to start ticking. After setting the minute hand, press the REC button for 3 seconds to attempt synchronization. The clock should synchronize within 6 hours.

Manutenzione

• Sostituzione della batteria: When the clock hands stop moving or the time becomes inaccurate, it is likely due to a low battery. Replace the AA battery with a fresh one. Follow the setup instructions for initial synchronization after battery replacement.
• Pulizia: To clean the clock, gently wipe the aluminum frame and glass face with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Condizioni ambientali: Ensure the clock is kept in a dry environment and avoid extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan and maintain accuracy.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Clock Not Setting Automatically:
  • Assicurarsi che la batteria sia nuova e installata correttamente.
  • Verify the time zone switch is set correctly.
  • Relocate the clock to an area with better signal reception, away from electronic devices (at least 5 feet).
  • Allow up to 6 hours for the clock to receive and process the WWVB signal, especially during initial setup or after a battery change. Signal reception is often stronger at night.
  • Press the REC button for 3 seconds to manually attempt signal re-acquisition.
• Clock Losing Time or Displaying Incorrect Time:
  • Sostituire la batteria con una nuova batteria AA.
  • Check for potential interference from nearby electronic appliances.
  • Perform a full reset by pressing the RESET button and allowing the clock to re-synchronize.
• Hands Stuck or Not Moving:
  • Controllare il livello della batteria e sostituirla se necessario.
  • Ensure no physical obstruction is preventing the hands from moving.
  • Press the RESET button to restart the clock's internal mechanism.
