RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION
About Radio Signal Reception
The Model EP800 is programmed to see the WWVB radio signal everyday.
Initially the time recorder will search for a signal immediately after you set the
time zone. Once the clock has initially set, it will search for the signal every
few hours per day to maintain accuracy. The WWVB signal is the strongest
early in the morning, when there is the least amount of interference from other
sources.
There are some environments and weather conditions that may influence the
reception of the AM radio signal. Just as with an AM radio, the Model EP800
can be positioned for optimal reception. For instance, it is best to position the
clock away from metal studs and toward the direction of the tower in
Colorado. Since this time recorder contains a highly accurate quartz timer, it
will function with a very high level of accuracy between signal receptions.
The Model EP800 will operate as a normal electronic time recorder without
having to receive the signal. Since it also operates as a highly accurate
(+/- 15 seconds per month) quartz time clock, it will function properly while
outside the reception area or if it can not receive the WWVB signal.
Verifying the Time
The best way to verify the correct time is to call the NIST at [phone]
(long distance charges may apply). Any other sources, including the time
number in your local phone book, the Internet, cell phones, and Cable TV
receivers may be off by several seconds.
Signal Reception Indicator
FLASHING: Unit is receiving the atomic radio
signal.
ON: Unit successfully received the atomic radio
signal.
OFF: Unit was unable to receive the radio signal.

Do not let any metallic object get into the slot including paper clips. Do not
forcefully push in a card, either. These may cause the unit to malfunction.
4. OPERATIONS & FUNCTIONS
A maximum of 100 cards can be automatically registered.
When a new card is inserted, the card will automatically be registered, and will print the
"IN" print on the first line. The month will be printed on the first line and also on the line
when the month and printing line change.
You can print "IN" and "OUT" as many times as you want per day. The printing line, will
slide one line down each time you insert the card for "IN" print.
When the card that you are using becomes full, the clock will show "End" on the display.
When the "End" appears, you can use the "Card reassign" mode to transfer the card and
have a new card take over from the old one.
When you want to reset the card (clear the accumulated totals) manually, you can use the
"Card reset" mode to reset a single card or use the "All cards reset " mode to reset all the
cards in memory. It is not necessary to routinely reset cards manually, since the clock does
this automatically each pay period (unless using Job Cost Mode ).
Refer to "Card reassign" on page 37.
Refer to "Card reset" on page 39 and "All cards reset" on page 38.
Once the AC line cord is plugged into the outlet, the recorder can be used immediately. The
current time (EST) and date are preset. The time card is automatically pulled in, printed, and
then ejected.
