 Mount the transmitter on the North side to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
 Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong signal.
 Outdoor transmitters are water resistant but not water proof.
 Avoid more than one wall between the transmitter and the Clock.
 Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that
will interfere
with the signal.
 RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
 Place the outdoor transmitter and the Clock in the desired shaded locations, and
wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to
ensure that there is proper reception.
 Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
MOUNT
 Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range
of the clock and under
an overhang for accuracy.
 Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving approximately ½ 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.
Note: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.
Position Clock
 Mount the Atomic Digital Wall Clock near an exterior wall with the front or back
facing toward Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB reception.
 The clock should be six feet from other electronics or wireless devices to best
receive the outdoor temperature transmitter signal.
Foldout Table Stand:
A foldout table stand is located on the back of the clock.
 Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the clock, below the battery
compartment.
 Extend the foldout table stand and place the clock in an appropriate location.
Wall Mount
 Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall within transmission range of
the outdoor transmitter—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended
from the wall.
 Place the clock onto the screw, using the hanging holes on the backside.
 Gently pull the clock down to lock the screw into place.
 Note: Always ensure that the clock locks onto the screw before releasing.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance:
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330-feet (100 meters)
between the outdoor transmitter and the clock.
 Consider what is in the signal path between the clock and the transmitter.
