I have what appears to be an atomic clock with no instructions as to how to set it. The front shows a display window with the words: . calendar . temperature . alarm and . world time. The back has six buttons marked: Mode Set Up Time Reset and Start/Stop. It shows no brank name other than ''made in China'' and is about the size of a 5 x 7 picture. Other than that, I have no clues. Any one know how to set it? Thanks. It looks like it could stand on a desk or be hung on a wall.
Atomic clocks are the wave of the future because of their precision.
While it takes a scientist to fully understand how these clocks
actually work, the general public is primarily interested in their
accuracy, rather than their construction. A major benefit to atomic
clocks is that they serve as the main standard for calculating time
internationally. While each version of atomic clock may have minor
differences, for the most part, they are set in the same way.
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the clock using the correct
screwdriver (if one is required). Be careful not to break the cover or
lose any screws in the process. Insert the required number and type of
batteries into the clock. Most atomic clocks take two AA batteries.
Make sure the batteries are positioned with the right polarity in
place, and that the clock is functioning, before replacing the battery
cover. Place the cover back into its original position and screw any
necessary pieces back into place to secure the cover and protect the
batteries from springing free.
2. Enter the program mode of the clock by holding down the appropriate
button. In most cases, the button will be clearly marked "Set." If not,
refer to the clock's instructions to find out which button fulfills
that function.
3. Push the button down until the clock flashes its default time zone
setting of --5EST. It is now ready to program each function separately
as described in the steps below. If for some reason the clock does not
respond as outlined, refer to the instructions provided with it for
troubleshooting guidance.
4. Press the + button to select the right time zone from the 13
international options provided. The default setting of --5EST (Eastern
Time), should appear first, followed by --6 CST (Central Time), -7MST
(Mountain Time), -8PST (Pacific Time), -9ALA (Alaskan Time), -10HAW
(Hawaiian Time), -11, -12, GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), -1, -2, -3 and
--4ATL (Atlantic Time). Then push the "Set" button down again to
confirm the time-zone setting you have chosen. Push down the "Set"
button again and hold until the selected time zone flashes.
5. Press the "Set" button down two more times to establish the default
language setting. Press the + button down to select English, French or
Spanish. Then push the "Set" button down again to confirm the language
setting.
6. Push down the "Set" button again and hold it until the time zone
flashes. Then press the button down three more times until the time
12:00 flashes. Press the + button down to select the hour at the time
of the clock's setting. Make sure the hour is set appropriately to AM
or PM. Then push the "Set" button down once more to confirm the hour
setting.
7. Push the "Set" button again and hold until the time zone flashes. Then
press the "Set" button four more times until 00 flashes. Press the +
button down again to select the minutes at the moment of setting. Push
the "Set" button once more to confirm the minute setting.
8. Push the "Set" button again and hold until the time zone flashes. Then
press the "Set" button five more times until the default year flashes.
Press the + button down. Toggle through the settings until the
appropriate year is reached. Then press the "Set" button down to
confirm the year.
9. Push the "Set" button again and hold until the time zone flashes. Then
press the "Set" button six more times until the default month of
January is reached. Toggle through until you reach the right month.
Then press the "Set" button down to confirm the month.
10. Push the "Set" button again and hold until the time zone flashes. Then
press the "Set" button seven more times until the default date of 1 is
reached. Toggle through until you reach the right date. Then press the
"Set" button down to confirm the date.
11. Push the "Set" button again and hold until the time zone flashes. Then
press the "Set" button eight more times until the default setting of
Sunday is found. Toggle through until you reach the right weekday. Then
press the "Set" button down to confirm the weekday.
Hope this helps......best wishes.
