Sharp Atomic Clock Instruction Manual

Isingeniso

This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Sharp Atomic Clock, Model Flechazo-0401-1416-10. This atomic clock features automatic time synchronization, indoor and outdoor temperature display, and a calendar function. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper functionality.

Izici Zomkhiqizo

• Atomic Time Synchronization: Automatically synchronizes with the WWVB radio broadcast from Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring accurate time within one second.
• Isibonisi esikhulu se-LCD: Features a jumbo 4-inch tall LCD time display for easy readability.
• Izinga lokushisa langaphakathi nangaphandle: Displays current indoor temperature and outdoor temperature via a wireless sensor.
• Ukuboniswa Kwekhalenda: Shows the day of the week, month, and date.
• Ukubekwa Okuhlukahlukene: Can be used as a wall clock or a desk clock with its integrated stand.
• Ibhethri liyasebenza: Main unit requires 4 x AA batteries; wireless sensor requires 2 x AAA batteries (batteries not included).
• Inzwa engenantambo yangaphandle: Transmits outdoor temperature up to 100 feet from the main unit.

Setha

1. Ukufakwa kwebhethri (Iyunithi Eyinhloko)

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the main clock unit.
2. Vula ikhava yengxenye yebhethri.
3. Insert 4 new AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and - markings).
4. Vala ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngokuphephile.

2. Battery Installation (Wireless Sensor)

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the wireless outdoor sensor.
2. Vula ikhava yengxenye yebhethri.
3. Insert 2 new AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+ and - markings).
4. Vala ikhava yengxenye yebhethri ngokuphephile.

3. Ukubekwa kwenzwa

Place the wireless outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location away from direct sunlight and precipitation. Ensure it is within 100 feet (30 meters) of the main clock unit for optimal signal transmission. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electronic devices that may interfere with the wireless signal.

4. Initial Setup and Atomic Time Synchronization

After installing batteries in both units, the main clock unit will automatically begin searching for the WWVB atomic time signal. This process may take several minutes to several hours, depending on your location and environmental conditions. During this time, the atomic signal icon (often a tower or antenna symbol) on the display may flash.

• For best reception, place the clock near a window, facing towards Fort Collins, Colorado.
• Once the signal is received and synchronized, the atomic signal icon will become solid, and the clock will display the correct time, date, and day of the week.
• The outdoor temperature from the wireless sensor should also appear on the display. If not, ensure the sensor is properly placed and its batteries are correctly installed.

5. Ukukhetha Indawo Yesikhathi

After atomic synchronization, you may need to set your local time zone. Refer to the buttons on the back of the clock:

• Cindezela inkinobho ▲/ZONE button repeatedly to cycle through the available time zones (e.g., PST, MST, CST, EST). Select your desired time zone.

6. Isikhathi Sokulondoloza Usuku (DST)

The clock is designed to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time. Ensure the DST setting is enabled if your region observes it. This setting is typically indicated by a 'DST' icon on the display. If manual adjustment is needed, consult the specific button (often combined with the time zone or a dedicated DST button) on the back of the unit.

Ukusebenza

1. Bonisa Ngaphezuluview

The large LCD display provides the following information:

• Isikhathi: Hours, minutes, and seconds, with AM/PM indicator.
• Ithempelesha yasendlini: Izinga lokushisa lamanje likalwa ngeyunithi eyinhloko.
• Izinga lokushisa langaphandle: Izinga lokushisa lamanje likalwa ngenzwa engenantambo.
• Ikhalenda: Day of the week, month, and date.
• Atomic Signal Indicator: Shows the status of WWVB signal reception.
• Time Zone Indicator: Displays the selected time zone.

2. Temperature Display Units

To switch between Fahrenheit (℉) and Celsius (℃) temperature units, locate the ▼/RCC button on the back of the clock. Press this button to toggle between the two units.

3. Manual Atomic Signal Search

If the clock loses synchronization or you wish to force a signal search, press and hold the ▼/RCC button for a few seconds. The atomic signal icon will begin flashing, indicating that the clock is actively searching for the WWVB signal.

Isondlo

1. Ukushintshwa Kwebhethri

When the display dims or the outdoor temperature reading becomes inconsistent, it is time to replace the batteries. Replace all batteries in both the main unit and the wireless sensor simultaneously to ensure optimal performance. Use new, high-quality alkaline batteries.

2. Ukuhlanza

To clean the clock and sensor, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the display or casing. Keep the units dry.

Ukuxazulula inkinga

• Akukho Khombisa/Isibonisi Esifiphele: Hlola i-polarity yebhethri bese ufaka amabhethri amasha esikhundleni sawo.
• Isikhathi Esingalungile: Ensure the correct time zone is selected. Perform a manual atomic signal search. If atomic signal reception is poor, try relocating the clock to a different position, preferably near a window.
• No Outdoor Temperature Reading: Ensure the wireless sensor has fresh batteries and is placed within range (100 feet) of the main unit. Avoid obstructions between the sensor and the main unit. Press the ISITESHI button on the main unit to rescan for the sensor.
• Atomic Signal Not Received: The WWVB signal can be affected by atmospheric conditions, electrical interference, or building materials. Try placing the clock in a different location, especially overnight, as signal strength is often better at night.
• Izinkinobho Ezingaphenduli: Remove and reinsert batteries to reset the unit.
