GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS  
LCD  
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in  
televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.  
LED  
“LED” is an acronym for “Light-Emitting Diode”. This type of light is used to illuminate a variety of  
displays such as a digital clock or watch.  
NIST  
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (Time and Frequency division) maintains the  
primary frequency standard for the United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time  
and frequency standards with other world standards. The NIST provides time and frequency services  
for United States clientele.  
WWVB  
The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST. The WWVB’s  
function is to broadcast time-of-day information derived from the NIST atomic clock, located in  
Boulder, Colorado.  
ATOMIC CLOCK  
An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the movements of electrons  
in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most precise clocks in the world, accurate to  
10 billionths of one second. The NIST’s atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks  
calculating the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—the official world time.  
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME  
A radio controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a radio controlled  
time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each day through an internal antenna.  
The radio controlled time device searches for an exact time signal every night when the signal from  
the WWVB is the strongest. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio  
controlled time device.

I. QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Hint: Use good quality alkaline batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.  
1. We recommend beginning the set-up procedure at night when the  
WWVB signal is easiest to receive.  
2. It is also highly recommended to set the projection alarm in a window  
or other area free of interference in the area of your home that is  
closest to Colorado (the source of the WWVB signal).  
NOTE: The above steps are not required but can help the projection  
alarm receive the signal faster.  
3. Install the batteries in the projection alarm clock.  
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.  
NOTE: It is important to not press any buttons after inserting batteries as  
this will interrupt the WWVB search sequence.  
In this time the display will show the indoor temperature. If the station does not  
display the indoor temperature after the 15 minutes please retry the set-up as  
stated above. After the indoor temperature displays for 15 minutes you may  
place the projection alarm in your desired location.  
To complete the set-up of your temperature station after the 15 minutes have  
passed, please follow the steps beginning on page 6.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE  
A. BATTERY INSTALLATION  
1. Remove the battery cover on the backside of  
the projection alarm.  
2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA  
batteries.  
3. In addition to or instead of installing batteries,  
the AC adapter can be used. Simply plug the  
adapter into the receptacle on the underneath  
side of the alarm clock, and then plug in the  
adapter.  
AC adapter  
receptacle  
4. Replace the battery cover.  
5. The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm clock is plugged in. If only  
batteries are used, the projector will only be activated when a button is pressed. The  
projection is a red light, not harmful under normal usage, although care should be  
taken to not look directly into the light.  
Notes:  
After the batteries have been installed, the LCD will activate, and you will hear a  
beep.  
The indoor temperature will be displayed, and the time will appear as “12:00 AM”.  
The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon appears and  
flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to  
be detected, and the time display will start from 12:00 AM).  
While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the  
time display.  
After 15 minutes, the projection alarm will either display the WWVB time, or  
discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the search is cancelled the time  
will continue from 12:00 AM.  
The projection alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour until the first signal  
is found.  
Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically conducted nightly at  
midnight.  
If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search  
will take place every hour (until 6:00 AM) until the signal is found successfully.  
If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear, and the  
clock will search again at midnight the next night.  
The radio-controlled time receiver is located on the bottom side of the projection  
alarm. When using the AC adaptor be sure to keep the adapter cord away from  
the bottom side of the unit; as it can cause weakened reception of the radio  
controlled signal.

III. PROGRAM MODE  
To enter the Program Mode, hold down the “MODE/MIN” button for 3 seconds, until the time zone  
flashes at the bottom of the display. The Program Mode Guide is laid out in a manner that allows you  
to program each function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program the  
projection alarm. Complete programming is usually done for the initial set-up, and will require you to  
skip step 1 and 2 of programming sections D-H. To exit the setting mode simply wait approximately  
10 seconds for the projection alarm to automatically return to normal operation.

3. When the time signal has been received successfully, the tower icon will remain  
steady until midnight.  
4. The projection alarm will search for a signal every night when reception is best.  
5. It is possible that your projection alarm may not be exactly on the second due to the  
variance in the quartz. However, the clock will adjust the quartz timing over the course  
of several days to be very accurate--under 0.10 seconds per day.  
C. TIME PROJECTION  
1. When plugged into an AC outlet, the projection alarm can continuously project the  
time.  
2. When operating on batteries alone, the projection alarm will only project when the  
snooze button is pressed or the alarm is sounding.  
3. The projection will auto-focus for optimal display from 5.5 to 6.5 feet (1.7 to 2.0 m)  
away. A dark surrounding will be necessary to clearly see the projection.
