Hello

The SkyScan ATOMIC Clock

With the Skyscan Atomic Clock, you have the most accurate timepiece within the continent. It can receive the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and deviates less than 1 second within 3,000 years. The NIST broadcasts the time signal (WWVB, 60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal can be received anywhere in the continental USA that long wave (AM) radio reception is possible with a portable radio. It is expected that the signal can cover a distance of over 2,000 miles from the transmitter. Therefore, your clock will receive the signal within the broadcast range anywhere an AM signal can be received; generally the signal cannot be picked up in massive metal and concrete structures unless near a window. In addition, some environmental effects (see next page) may affect the transmitting distance.

Starting in time mode:

1. Press "MODE" (brings up alarm time) 2. Press "SET" (toggles between the four zones)


P - Pacific

M - Mountain

C - Central

E - Eastern

3. Once the desired time zone is set, press "MODE" to return to the clock.

I have a brand new Sharp Atomic Clock Model SPC900 and have gone thru the initial setup guide... I chose to allow the transmitter in Ft Collins, Colorado to set my Time and Calendar automatically however it has yet to set my clock after two hours now...Please help...

I have solved the problem. Thanks

I have a skyscan Atomic clock model no 86730 and can't set it, every time i get it set, it goes back 1 hr, i need to know to set it to daylight savings time

You need to reset it to YOUR time zone. The default on this model is Pacific Coast time so you must be in the Central Time Zone (2 hours ahead of Central). Instruction manual should show you how to reset.

You didn't tell us the model number but whatever it is, you should find instructions here:
Skyscan website
Our various 'atomic' clocks have either a menu that lets one select or a simple slide switch with US time zones from which to choose. 

Instructions for setting the clock can be found at:

Just did this after problem resetting after changing batteries, press setover and again til it displays est, then press+until your time zone is displayed, it will also display dst, press +till on/or off depending on your location, then US will appear, clock will then set itself. Good luck, how frustrating.
