PROJECTION:
Battery Power:
Press and release the SNOOZE/LIGHT button on top of the
projection alarm to show the projection for 5 seconds.
Note: Projection will not display constantly when operating on battery power.


A/C Power: Projection is displayed constantly unless turned off.

Projection ON/OFF: Use the PROJECTION ON/OFF slide switch on the back of

the clock to turn the projection off when operating on a/c power.

Rotate Projection: Press and release the PROJECTION/DIRECTION button to

rotate projection image 180 degrees as viewed on the wall or ceiling.

Focus Projection: Use the focus wheel on the

projection arm to adjust the clarity of the projection on
the wall or ceiling.


Time/Outdoor Temperature Projection: The

projection will alternate between time and outdoor
temperature every 5 seconds. This is not adjustable.









IMPORTANT: When operating on a/c power, to avoid interference, the projection
will turn off while the Projection Alarm searches for the WWVB signal. The
projection will return after the 2-10 minute search which occurs during the late night
or early morning hours.


POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER:
The remote temperature transmitter should be mounted vertically to avoid damage.
Place both units in the desired shaded locations, and wait approximately 1-hour
before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper
reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof
and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to
standing water or snow.

Wall Mount:
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Atomic Projection
Alarm and under an overhang for accuracy.

Option 1:
 Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leaving

approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.

 Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on

the backside.

 Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.

Option 2:
 Insert the mounting screw through the front of the sensor and into the wall.

 Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).

To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach
the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in
any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail work well. The maximum
transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as
walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.

POSITIONING THE PROJECTION ALARM:
The Atomic Projection Alarm should be placed near an exterior wall with the front or
back facing toward Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB reception. The display
should be six feet from other electronics or wireless devices in order to best receive
the outdoor temperature transmitter signal.

LOW BATTERY:

 When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the batteries

in the Projection Alarm.

 When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the

batteries in the outdoor transmitter.
