What is Atomic Radio Control? Head H1 or H2 The most precise time keeping device on earth is the atomic clock. It keeps time to the accuracy of better than 1 second for every mil- lion years. The atomic clock is a huge piece of scientific equipment and it is so expensive that it is normally found in laboratories and standards institutions, etc. Thanks to the latest technology, the ac- curacy of the atomic clock is now brought to your home. The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Techno

A successfully synchronized clock features a non-blinking antenna icon and a radiating beacon. The synchronized clock attempts to refresh itself with the radio time signal at least once a day. If it fails for more than 3 days, the antenna icon disappears. The clock still functions as a quartz clock until it can be refreshed again. The clock

By comparing the pressure value (mbar), it provides a hint to predict the weather condition. If the pressure value is rising, the weather condition may improve. If the pressure value is not changing, the weather condition may stay at the current condition. If the pressure value is declining, the weather condition may become poor. The pressure tr

Weather Station Reading the Temperature To select either °C or °F, press the °C/°F. The weather station can show a temperature between 14°F and 122°F (-10°C and 50°C). If the temperature exceeds the maximum, HI appears on the LCD. Note: The operating temperature range of the clock is 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C). If the indoor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), the LCD may not be viewable. Reading the Humidity If the displayed humidity is less than 3%, the letter ”D“ appears to indicate ”Dry.

Weather Station Notes: • Weather instruments take some time to respond to sudden changes in temperature and relative humidity. Placing the clock in a location with free airflow helps the instruments obtain a quicker and more accurate reading. • When the temperature is at or below 32°F (0°C), the LCD shows --% for humidity. • The operation humidity is from 15% to 5%. 1
