Atomic Time Signal

During the atomic time search the buttons will not function.
The backlight will dim.
The USB charge port will not work.

Signal Search Indicator

Receiving strong WWVB signal: LED flashing
Successful Reception: LED solid
Failed Reception: LED disappears

The clock will automatically search for the WWVB signal every night at 1:00 am, 2:00 am and 3:00 am. If there is still no WWVB reception, the clock will search WWVB time signal again at 4:00 am and 5:00 am alternatively.

Setup

Insert the 5-volt AC/DC adapter into 120V AC wall outlet, and then plug the DC jack to the back of the unit.
Optional: Insert one CR2032 lithium battery (included) to provide backup power to the clock.

Note: The backup battery does not power the alarm or display the time. The backup battery will keep the time and settings for when the power returns. A fresh CR2032 battery could backup your clock continuously for around 1 week.
