FEATURES

Your RadioShack Radio-Controlled Clock combines a simple

design with advanced technology. You can set the clock so It

automatically sets the time and date using a radio signal it re-

ceives. The clock checks this radio signal several times each

day and automatically updates the time and date, providing the

most accurate time possible.

Your clock receives a 60 kHz longwave radio signal from radio

station WWV to set and update the time and date, which broad-

casts the time according to the U.S. government’s hyper-

accurate atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.

Your clock’s features include:

Large Liquid Crystal Display — makes the clock easy to read.

The current time and alarm time, the time zone you are in, and

the day of the week appear on the display.

Signal Strength Meter —shows you the strength of the radio

signal your clock is receiving to set the time.

Three Languages — you can view the month, date, and day of

the week in English, French, or Spanish.

Time Zone Map — let you set the displayed time for Pacific,

Mountain, Central, or Eastern time zones.

Crescendo Alarm — sounds a series of beeps that gradually

increase in volume.

Snooze Control — lets you temporarily silence the alarm for

about 8 minutes so you can sleep a little longer.

Low Battery Indicator — appears when the batteries are

weak.

Display Backlight — lets you see all information on the display

in low-light situations.

Manual Clock Setting — let you manually set the clock if your

radio cannot receive the necessary radio signal.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Your clock requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.

For the best performance and longest life, we recommend Ra-

dioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-

mended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batter-

ies (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable

batteries of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Pull the tab on the battery compartment cover in the direc-

tion of the arrow to remove it.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

63-968.fm Page 5 Friday, July 2, 1999 2:19 PM

Notes:

• If the clock does not operate after you install the batteries,

remove them and wait about 5 seconds until the display

clears. Then reinstall them.

• The clock displays the day of the week in English. To set

the clock so it displays in another language, see “Manually

Setting the Time, Date, and Language” on Page 15.

• The clock is set to automatically search for a radio signal to

set the time and date when you install the batteries. To set

the clock manually instead, see “Manually Setting the Time,

Date, and Language” on Page 15.

Immediately after you install the batteries, all of the clock’s dis-

play elements briefly appear, then and :flash. Then the

clock scans for the radio signal and the map of the United

States flashes for about 2 minutes. While the clock scans for

the radio signal, you might see any of the following:

What You See What it Means

The clock received a radio signal strong

enough to set the date and time within the

last 96 hours.

The time and date were set manually.

63-968.fm Page 6 Friday, July 2, 1999 2:19 PM

The clock has not received a radio signal

strong enough to set the date and time

within the last 96 hours. Reposition or ro-

tate the antenna before 2, 3, 4, or 9 AM, or

3 or 9 PM, or set the date and time manu-

ally (see “Manually Setting the Time, Date,

and Language” on Page 15).

No indicator You have turned off the automatic time

setting feature. See “Turning Automatic

Time Setting Off/On” on Page 16 to turn

that feature back on.

The clock is receiving the radio signal and

the time/date will be set shortly.

The clock is receiving a radio signal, but

the reception is not strong enough to set

the clock. Reposition or rotate the antenna

until you see before the antenna icon

stops flashing.

What You See What it Means

63-968.fm Page 7 Friday, July 2, 1999 2:19 PM

Notes:

• On very cloudy and stormy days, the radio signal might not

be strong enough to set the clock.

• If the clock does not receive a strong signal within about 2

minutes, it stops scanning and looks for a signal again at

the next preprogrammed time (see “Turning Automatic

Time Setting Off/On” on Page 16).

Replacing the Batteries

When flashes, the display dims or disappears, or the

clock stops working properly, replace the batteries.

Cautions:

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury

or burn them.

• If you do not plan to use the clock for several weeks,

remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can

destroy electronic parts.

PLACING THE ANTENNA

While the clock is scanning for the radio signal, place the anten-

na at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the clock, on a window

or a wall near a window. If does not appear while the clock

is checking the time signal, reposition or rotate the antenna until

the icon flashes.

63-968.fm Page 8 Friday, July 2, 1999 2:19 PM

MOUNTING THE CLOCK

You can place the clock on any flat surface such as a desk,

shelf, or table, or mount it on a wall using hook-and-loop tape

(not supplied).

Selecting a Location

Choose a location indoors near a window to mount the clock, so

you can mount the antenna near the window. The clock’s anten-

na cord extends up to about 3 feet.

Cautions:

• Do not place the clock or antenna where it will be in direct

sunlight.

• Keep the clock and antenna away from heat or cold

sources such as stoves, heating and air conditioning vents,

and radiators.

• Do not mount the clock near a TV, high power cable, or

metal table because these could interfere with radio signal

reception.

• The antenna is permanently attached to the clock. Do not

cut or try to change the length of the antenna cord.

• Avoid placing the antenna’s cord where it could be pinched

or cut.

63-968.fm Page 9 Friday, July 2, 1999 2:19 PM

To place the clock on a flat surface, turn the base on the bottom

of the clock clockwise until it stops, then place the clock on the

surface.

To mount the clock on a wall using hook-and-loop tape (not

supplied), follow these steps.

1. Use a damp cloth to clean the back of the clock. Let the

surface dry.

2. Remove the backing from one side of the tape and stick

that side to the back of the clock.

Note: Do not place the hook-and-loop tape over the clock’s

battery compartment cover.

3. Remove the backing from the other side of the tape and

press the clock firmly onto the mounting surface.
