1) Remove the battery cover, located on the backside of the unit and directly
below the function buttons.
2) Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.
3) Replace the battery cover.
Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and all the
LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Display) will briefly light up. Then the indoor
temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the weekday as “MON”, and the Moon
Phase will be displayed. Also, the time will appear as “-:--” for
approximately 1 minute. Then the WWVB search is automatically initiated,
and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon
will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected). While the WWVB
search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display.
The numbers “0”, “1”, or “8” will appear in the hour position and the
seconds will appear in the minute display. The Moon Phase Clock will
either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search after 10 minutes if
the time is not found. When the search is cancelled “-:--”will appear in the
time LCD. The Moon Phase Clock will conduct a WWVB search every hour
until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is
automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at
midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place
every hour(up to 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal
is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will
search again at 12:00 am the next night.
PROGRAM MODE
To enter the Program Mode hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds, until “-5EST”
flashes in the Date LCD. The Program Mode is laid out in a manner that allows you to
program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program
the Moon Phase Clock. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and
will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections III through VIII. Press the
“SNOOZE” button at any time to exit the Program Mode, or wait approximately 15
seconds for the Moon Phase Clock to automatically return to normal operation.
