Troubleshooting

Q. What happens if batteries die before I replace them?
A. The ATX will stop working. When the batteries are replaced,

press and release the RESET button on the ATX. It will
automatically reset time when it receives the WWVB signal.
(This may take 24 hours). The battery life is approximately 5
years. When the batteries become low the display will show a
low battery indicator “ ”.

Q. Do I need batteries if I use an AC adaptor?

A. No, batteries are bypassed when an AC adapter is used.

A. Verify the ATX is not listening for the WWVB signal. The ATX will

not transmit until the listening period ends.

A. As long as all Wall Clocks are in the range of the ATX, there is

virtually no limit of the number of clocks it can correct.
