How do I keep the Atomic Clock on correct time? I live in Arizona we don't change time.

Atomic clocks have antennas that are directional and reception may be improved by turning the antenna to increase signal strength. Place the radio controlled clock along a wall or near a window that faces towards Fort Collins. Locate atomic wall clocks at least 4-8 feet away from computer monitors.

If the atomic radio controlled clock is off by one or more hours, it probably has to do with the time zone setting. ... Other atomic wall clocks may allow the selection of any time zone, even time zones that are outside the WWVB coverage area. When purchasing a clock, make sure that it can display the correct time zone. https://www.weathershack.com/static/ed-atomic-clock-synch.html

Hi, your clock radio is an atomic clock radio... no wait you don't need your lead underwear! it receives a signal from the atomic clock and sets the time to match it, after you set the time zone and put it on auto dst you will never have to set the time again!

ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS:


The Atomic Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the following circumstances:

• Long transmitting distance.
  
• Nearby mountains and valleys.
  
• Among tall buildings.
  
• Near railway, high voltage cable, etc.
  
• Near freeway, airport, etc.
  
• Near construction site.
  
• Inside concrete buildings.
  
• Near electrical appliances.
  
• Near computers and televisions.
  
• Bad weather locally or electrical storms between you and Colorado.
  
• Inside moving vehicles.
  
• Nearby metallic structures.
  

LOCATION PRECAUTIONS:


This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a window or some other location where reception is good. Avoid the following locations, which can interfere with proper reception.




Synchronization signal reception can be received in Continental USA only. In other areas, you can still use this clock by making time settings manually.


QUICKSTART

1. Place your clock in a location with optimal signal marks on the LCD.
   
2. It is recommended to put the clock near a window. Please move the clock to another location if difficulty in signal reception or unstable signal marks is encountered.
   

Installation
Simply plug the SkyScan clock radio into any household outlet.


Battery Back-up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with alarm time memory that can be powered with a 9-volt battery (not included).When normal household power is interrupted, or the AC cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock to keep track of the time and set alarm. When the backup battery activates, the LCD backlight is off, however, the functions of alarm and radio still operate.


To Install the Battery

1. Remove the battery cover at the bottom of the case.
   
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connector plug.
   
3. Insert the battery in the compartment and replace the cover.
   

Note: An Alkaline battery is recommended. Carbon Zinc and rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries not recommended.

Set the Time Zone Press the SET button in sequence until you see PST(Pacific Standard Time)blinking below the time digits on the LCD. Press UP or DOWN button to select your time zone.


Daylight Savings Time
Always slide the DST switch to ON position unless the clock is used in an area without Daylight Savings Time.
**Special attention to usage in Arizona and Indiana. **Arizona and parts of Indiana do not recognize Daylight Savings Time (DST). Turn the DST off if the clock is used in these areas.

Cheers!

1. Press MODE to select the time with the day of week
display mode.
2. Select the time zone by pressing and holding the “ + ”
button for 3 seconds.
3. Keep holding until the desired time zone (Pacifi c,
Mountain, Central, or Eastern) is selected on the
display map

To change the time zone press the "time" button, on the front the space that shows the date will change to show the time zone. With the time zone showing press the "up" or "down" button to get to the correct time zone.

This is more of a Clarification than a solution.
I've determined that the SS-5000 is not recognizing the changes to DST that happened in 2007.

From 1986 to 2006 this was the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it is observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time.

So in March the clock is still trying to keep the "earler" time and in November it's trying to keep the 'later' time.

I'm contacting HomeMedics Support to see if there's a resolution.

I have misplaced the manual for my sharp Atomic clock, need to reset the time zone and shut off the alarm. How can I obtain a new manual?
