Sharp SPC932 Atomic Desktop Clock Instruction Manual

Sharp SPC932 Atomic Desktop Clock

Thank you for your purchase of this quality clock. The utmost care has gone into the design and manufacture of your clock. Please read these instructions and store them in a safe place for future reference. The clock has a built in receiver that automatically synchronizes itself with the WWVB radio signal broadcast by the US Government’s National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The WWVB radio signal daily broadcast ensures that the atomic clock will always display the most accurate date and time. The Atomic Clock will always be accurate to within one second as it receives daily WWVB updates. Daylight Saving Time also automatically updates so there is no need to re-set the clock manually!

QUICK START GUIDE

1. Insert batteries into clock.
2. Time Zone will flash, press the UP/DOWN button to select your time zone and press TIME to confirm.
3. Daylight Savings Time (DST) will flash, press the UP/DOWN button to select ON/OFF and press TIME to confirm. Turn ON unless you live in parts of Indiana or Arizona where DST is not applicable.
4. Now you can either set the time and calendar manually OR wait until the clock receives the atomic signal. The signal is usually received by morning the next day but it will begin looking for the signal immediately. During the day there is a lot of interference and that is why the signal is  often received overnight. Once the clock receives the atomic signal and all of the clock settings are in place, the time and date will be automatically updated.

POWER SUPPLY

1. This clock operates on three “AAA” batteries (not supplied). Remove the BATTERY DOOR at the back of the clock and insert three new “AAA” batteries in the direction of the polarity symbols. Please make sure the batteries are new and inserted correctly.
2. Do not mix old and new batteries.
3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.

ATOMIC CLOCK TIME

1. The atomic clock will be activated and search for the WWVB radio signal. On the clock’s display the atomic signal indicator “‘ ” will flash. If the clock successfully receives the signal, the atomic signal indicator “‘ ‘” will stop flashing and remain steady on the display.
2. If the clock fails to synchronize in the first attempt, the signal is usually received by morning the next day. During the day there is a lot of interference and that is why the signal is often received overnight. Once the clock receives the atomic signal and all of the clock settings are in place, the time and date will be automatically updated.
3. Press and hold the 0C/°F/ WAVE button for 2 seconds if you need to attempt immediate signal synchronization.
4. If you’d like to set the clock manually, press °C/°F/ WAVE button to stop the synchronization, the atomic signal indicator “‘ ‘” will no longer be shown on the display.
