Your Analog Talking Watch is a Multi-Band Radio Controlled watch. The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station, WWVB, located in Ft. Collins, Colorado,
continuously broadcasts the time signal at 60 KHz. This signal can be received up to 2,000 miles
away, anywhere in the continental USA where long wave (AM) radio reception is possible. The
WWVB station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, CO. Your Atomic
Watch automatically adjusts for daylight saving time.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST TIME USING IT, SET YOUR TIME ZONE!
AFTER YOU HAVE SET YOUR TIME ZONE FOR THE FIRST TIME, Please wait WHILE
the clock hands are automatically spinning. The watch is setting the correct time. Your watch
will resume running with the correct time automatically when the second hand stops spinning
fast. You will not be able to use any other function while the watch is setting itself. THE TIME
FRAME THAT THIS MIGHT TAKE CAN NOT BE CONSISTENTLY DETERMINED. This
process could take as long as 20 minutes, but depending on your location in the United States, it
could be either shorter or longer.
Time Zone Setting:
To receive the correct time you first need to set your Time Zone:
1. Hold THE BUTTON POSITIONED AT 8 o'clock for more than 5 seconds until the
watch says "Set Alarm, Press THE 10 o'clock button to set"
2. PUSH THE button at the 8:00 position, another 3 times in a row, until the watch says
"Time Zone Setting. Press THE button at the 10 o'clock position, to set"
3. Press THE button at the 10 o'clock position, once
4. After you press the button at the 10 o'clock position, the watch will say "Press 2 o'clock
button to set, 8 o'clock button to confirm"
