Thank you for your purchase. The utmost care has gone into the design and manufacture of your clock. Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. This clock automatically synchronizes itself to the US Government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado. The WW/B radio signal daily broadcast ensures that the atomic clock will always display the most accurate date and time. This clock never needs setting. The weather station is equipped with many functions providing weather information to you. The receiver unit has a clear, easy-to-read display that shows the weather forecast, indoor temperature, time, month, date, as well as the outdoor temperature measured and transmitted from the outdoor sensor. The 433 MHz technology means no wire installation is required and you can place the sensor anywhere you like within 100 feet.
