PREPARATION  
Notes:  
• When BATT flashes on the display,  
INSTALLING BATTERIES  
Your clock requires two AA batteries  
(not supplied) for power. For the best  
operation and longest life, We recom-  
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
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.  
Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and type.  
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.  
• 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.  
For about 2 minutes after you install the  
batteries, the clock scans for the radio  
signal while flashes.  
2. Place the batteries in the compart-  
ment as indicated by the polarity  
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.  
3. Replace the cover.

63-973.fm Page 4 Friday, January 7, 2000 7:45 AM  
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.  
Mounting the Clock on a Wall  
To mount the clock on a wall, you need  
1
a /8-inch (3-mm) screw (not supplied)  
with a head that fits into the keyhole slot  
on the back of the clock.  
1. Drill a hole in the wall at the desired  
mounting location.  
Note: You must reset the time zone  
each time you install batteries.  
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.  
MOUNTING  
You can place the clock on a flat surface  
using the built-in stand, or mount it on a  
wall using a screw (not supplied).  
Keyhole Slot  
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  
SETTING THE TIME  
• not near a TV, high power cable, or  
metal table (because these could  
interfere with radio signal reception)  
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.  
Using the Stand  
To set the clock on  
a flat surface, pull  
the built-in stand  
away from the back  
of the clock.

Checking the Signal Status  
The clock displays these symbols to indicate the current or last status of radio signal  
reception.  
The clock received a radio signal strong enough to set the date  
and time within the last 96 hours.  
The clock has not received a radio signal strong enough to set the  
date and time within the last 96 hours. Reposition the clock before  
2, 3, 4, or 9 AM, or 3 or 9 PM, or set the date and time manually.  
The displayed time has been manually set.  
No indicator  
Automatic time setting is turned off. Remove and replace the bat-  
teries, or use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip)  
to press RESET.  
The clock is receiving the radio signal and the time/date will be set  
shortly.  
The clock is receiving a signal, but reception is not strong enough  
to set the clock. Reposition or rotate the antenna bar before the  
antenna symbol stops blinking (about 2 minutes).  
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  
is an example of su-  
RadioShack Radio Controlled Clock with Thermometer  
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.
