MARATHON CL030054-00-NA Atomic Digital Desk Clock with Heat and Comfort Index User Manual

This atomic clock is self-setting and self-adjusting. The clock automatically receives the atomic signal from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Atomic Clock, located in Fort Collins, Colorado. On the front of the clock, you will find a switch that will allow you to shift back and forth from the Heat Index to the Comfort Index. The Heat Index will display in extreme heat conditions a warning from “Caution” to “Extreme Danger” based on the combined algorithm of temperature of temperature and humidity in the room. The Comfort Index will display one of three indicators using the combination of humidity and temperature to advise the user from comfortable to very uncomfortable. For the best possible product performance, we recommend that you read the instruction manual in its entirety, and keep it handy for future reference.
