FEATURES
Your RadioShack Radio Controlled Clock with Thermometer combines a simple design with advanced technolo- gy.
You can set the clock so it automatically sets the time and date, using a a 60 kHz longwave radio signal from radio station WWVB. (This station broadcasts the time according to the U.S. government???s atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.) The clock checks the radio signal several times each day and automatically up- dates the time and date, providing the most accurate time possible. Or, if you are unable to receive the
Its other features include:

Snooze Control ??? temporarily silences the alarm for about 8 minutes so you can sleep a little longer.
Crescendo Alarm ??? at the set alarm time, the clock sounds a series of beeps that gradually increase in volume.

PREPARATION
Your clock requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best operation and longest life, We recom- mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
???Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
???Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
1.Pull the tab on the battery compart- ment cover at the back of the clock to remove the cover.
2.Place the batteries in the compart- ment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and
3.Replace the cover.
???When BATT flashes on the display, replace the batteries with fresh ones.
???If the clock does not operate after you install the batteries, remove them and wait about five seconds until the display clears. Then rein- stall the batteries.
As soon as you install the batteries, all display segments briefly appear. Then AM 12:00 and the seconds display ap- pear. 1M1D appears, indicating January 1, and the clock displays the current in- door temperature. To change the dis- play language, see ???Manually Setting the Time, Date, and Language??? on Page 6.
For about 2 minutes after you install the batteries, the clock scans for the radio signal while 
flashes.

The clock also automatically shows a time zone to the left of the time. While the clock is scanning for a signal, you can set it (if necessary) to show your time zone. To change the time zone, re- peatedly press ZONE until the desired time zone (PACIFIC, MOUNTAIN,
CENTRAL, or EAST) appears.
Note: You must reset the time zone each time you install batteries.
MOUNTING
You can place the clock on a flat surface using the
Selecting a Location
Choose an indoor location:
???where the clock will not be in direct sunlight
???away from heat or cold sources such as stoves, heating and air con- ditioning vents, and radiators
???not near a TV, high power cable, or metal table (because these could interfere with radio signal reception)
Using the Stand

Mounting the Clock on a Wall
To mount the clock on a wall, you need a
1.Drill a hole in the wall at the desired mounting location.
2.Thread a screw into the wall until the head extends about 1/4 inch from the wall.
3.Position the keyhole slot over the screw and slide the thermometer down to secure it.

SETTING THE TIME
Automatic Time/Date Setting
The clock checks the radio signal six times a day, at about 2:00 AM, 3:00 AM, 4:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 3:00 PM, and 9:00 PM (as shown on the clock). When the clock receives a good signal, it automat- ically sets the time and date.
Checking the Signal Status
The clock displays these symbols to indicate the current or last status of radio signal reception.
Notes:
???On very cloudy and stormy days, the signal might not be strong enough to reset the clock.
???If the clock does not receive a strong signal within about 2 minutes, it stops scan- ning and looks for a signal again at the next preprogrammed time (see ???Turning Off Automatic Time Setting??? on Page 6).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Radio Controlled Clock with Thermometer is an example of su- perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your clock so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the clock dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the clock only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam- age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the clock away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the clock gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the clock to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your clock???s electronic parts.
Wipe the clock with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the clock.
Modifying or tampering with the clock???s internal components can cause a malfunc- tion and might invalidate its warranty. If your clock is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
