Les característiques clau inclouen:

• Precisió atòmica: Synchronizes with the WWVB radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring accuracy to within one second.
• Configuració de l'hora automàtica: Resets regularly via radio control and adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.
• Fàcil de llegir: Large, clear numbers and hands for optimal visibility.
• Funciona amb piles: Requires one AA battery (not included).

2. Instruccions de configuració

Follow these steps to set up your Sharp Atomic Analog Wall Clock:

1. Seleccioneu la zona horària: Locate the time zone switch on the back of the clock. Choose your desired time zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern).
2. Instal·la la bateria: Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert one fresh AA battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). The clock hands will begin to spin, typically stopping at the 12 o'clock position.
3. Initial Signal Reception: The clock will attempt to receive the WWVB atomic signal. For best reception, place the clock near a window, preferably facing west towards Fort Collins, Colorado. In many areas, the signal is best received at night. If the clock does not set immediately, allow it to remain undisturbed overnight. It should set itself by morning.
4. Configuració de l'horari d'estiu (DST): Locate the DST switch on the back of the clock. Set it to 'ON' for automatic adjustment during Daylight Saving Time, or 'OFF' if you prefer manual adjustment or reside in an area that does not observe DST.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

Your Sharp Atomic Analog Wall Clock is designed for minimal user intervention once set up correctly.

• Sincronització del temps atòmic: The clock's built-in receiver continuously monitors the WWVB radio broadcast from the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. This signal ensures the clock remains accurate to the second. Daily updates are received, typically during nighttime hours when atmospheric conditions are more favorable for signal transmission.
• Automatic Daylight Saving Time Adjustment: If the DST switch on the back of the clock is set to 'ON', the clock will automatically adjust forward or backward by one hour at the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time.
• Manual Time Adjustment (if needed): In rare cases where the atomic signal cannot be received for an extended period, or if you wish to manually set the time, locate the 'SET' button on the back of the clock. Press and hold this button to advance the minute hand. Release the button when the desired time is reached. Note that the hands only move forward. If you overshoot, you must cycle through 12 hours again. The clock will attempt to resynchronize with the atomic signal after manual adjustment or battery replacement.

4. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accurate operation of your clock.

• Substitució de la bateria: The clock operates on one AA battery. Replace the battery annually or when the clock hands stop moving or appear sluggish. Always use a fresh, high-quality AA alkaline battery. After replacing the battery, the clock will attempt to resynchronize with the atomic signal.
• Neteja: To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Medi ambient: Avoid placing the clock in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can affect the plastic materials. Ensure it is kept away from extreme temperatures and high humidity.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your Sharp Atomic Analog Wall Clock, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• Clock Not Setting Time or Displaying Incorrect Time:
  • Ensure the battery is fresh and installed correctly. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify the time zone switch on the back of the clock is set to your correct time zone.
  • Confirm the DST switch is set appropriately for your region.
  • Move the clock to a location with better signal reception, ideally near a window facing west. Allow up to 24-48 hours for the clock to receive the signal, especially after initial setup or battery change.
  • Press the 'WAVE' or 'RESET' button (if present on your model) on the back of the clock to force a signal search. The hands will typically move to 12:00 and then attempt to synchronize.
• Clock Hands Are Stuck or Not Moving:
  • Check the battery. A weak battery is a common cause.
  • Ensure the hands are not obstructed or touching the clock face or each other.
• Clock Loses Time or Gains Time:
  • This usually indicates a weak atomic signal or a need for battery replacement. Follow the steps for 'Clock Not Setting Time'.
