1. Ynlieding
Thank you for choosing the TIMESS Atomic Analog Wall Clock. This clock is designed for precise timekeeping, automatically synchronizing with the WWVB radio signal from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It features a clear analog display, an integrated LCD for date and temperature, and silent operation. This manual provides detailed instructions for setup, operation, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance of your clock.

2. Safety Information
- Brûk allinnich 1.5V AA alkaline batterijen. Mingje gjin âlde en nije batterijen, of ferskillende soarten batterijen.
- Ferwiderje batterijen as de klok foar in langere perioade net brûkt wurdt om lekkage te foarkommen.
- Stel de klok net bleat oan ekstreme temperatueren, direkt sinneljocht of hege fochtigens.
- Keep the clock away from strong magnetic fields, which may interfere with its operation.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the clock yourself. Contact customer support for assistance.
3. Package Ynhâld
- 1 x TIMESS Atomic Analog Wall Clock (Model: TIMESS-M22)
- 1 x User Manual
4. Setup Ynstruksjes
4.1 Batterij Ynstallaasje
- Sykje it batterijfak op 'e efterkant fan' e klok.
- Insert one new AA alkaline battery (1.5V) into the designated slot, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Slút it deksel fan it batterijfak feilich.

4.2 Time Zone and DST Selection
Before the atomic clock can work correctly, you must select your time zone and Daylight Saving Time (DST) setting.
- DST -skeakel: Slide the DST switch to the "ON" position if your area observes Daylight Saving Time. If your area does not observe DST (e.g., Arizona and Indiana), slide the switch to "OFF".
- Time Zone Switch (P/M/C/E): Select the correct time zone for your area by sliding the corresponding switch:
- P: Pacific Tiid
- M: Mountain Tiid
- C: Sintrale Tiid
- E: Eastern Time

4.3 Automatyske tiidsynchronisaasje
After battery installation and time zone selection, the clock will begin searching for the WWVB radio signal.
- The second hand will make one full revolution and stop at the 12 o'clock position.
- The minute and hour hands will then move to the 12 o'clock position.
- The clock will search for the WWVB radio signal.
- Sterk sinjaal: If a strong signal is received, the clock will set itself within 3 to 10 minutes.
- Weak or No Signal: If the signal is weak or not received immediately, the clock will search for the signal on the odd hours (e.g., 1 AM, 3 AM, 5 AM, 9 PM, 11 PM). It may take overnight for the clock to synchronize in some areas.
- Once synchronized, the clock will display the correct time, date, and temperature.

5. Bedriuwsinstruksjes
5.1 Reading the Analog Display
The large analog dial with bold numbers and clear hands provides easy readability of the current time. The clock features a silent, non-ticking sweep movement for a quiet environment.
5.2 It LCD-skerm begripe
The integrated LCD display provides additional information:
- Month and Date: Displays the current month and day.
- Dei fan 'e wike: Shows the current day (e.g., MON, TUE).
- Temperatuer: Toant de omjouwingstemperatuer.

5.3 Temperatuerienheden wikselje (°C/°F)
To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature display, locate the small button or switch labeled "°C/°F" on the back of the clock, usually near the LCD display unit. Press or slide it to toggle between the two units.
6. Underhâld
- Reiniging: Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they may damage the finish or display.
- Batterij ferfanging: Replace the AA alkaline battery annually or when the clock's performance degrades (e.g., second hand getting stuck, LCD display fading). Ensure correct polarity when replacing.
- Opslach: As jo de klok foar in langere perioade opslaan, ferwiderje dan de batterij om lekkage en mooglike skea te foarkommen.
7. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Mooglike oarsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Clock does not set automatically or displays incorrect time. |
|
|
| Second hand gets stuck or moves erratically. | Swakke batterij. | Replace with a new AA alkaline battery. A weak battery may not provide enough power for consistent hand movement. |
| LCD-skerm is leech of dim. | Weak or depleted battery. | Replace with a new AA alkaline battery. |
| Digital time on LCD does not match analog time. | This model's analog and digital displays are not synchronized. The analog display is the primary time source, synchronized by WWVB. The digital display is for date and temperature. | This is normal operation. The analog clock is the atomic time-synchronized display. |
