4. Nastavitev

4.1 Namestitev baterije

1. Poiščite predal za baterije na zadnji strani ure.
2. Insert one (1) new AA alkaline battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
3. Once the battery is inserted, the clock hands will automatically move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin searching for the WWVB atomic signal.

4.2 Initial Atomic Time Synchronization

The clock will attempt to receive the WWVB radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado. This process can take several hours, especially if the signal is weak or if there is interference. For best reception:

• Place the clock near a window, ideally facing towards Colorado.
• Avoid placing the clock near electronic devices, metal structures, or large appliances that may cause interference.
• Allow the clock to sit undisturbed overnight for optimal signal reception.

4.3 Time Zone and DST Settings

Slika 4.1: Hrbet view of the Adalene 10 Inch Large Atomic Wall Clock. This image displays the battery compartment, a time zone switch, and a Daylight Saving Time (DST) switch. There are also two small red buttons, likely for reset and manual time adjustment.

On the back of the clock, you will find switches for Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time (DST).

• Time Zone Switch: Set this switch to your local time zone (e.g., PST for Pacific Standard Time, MST for Mountain Standard Time, CST for Central Standard Time, EST for Eastern Standard Time).
• DST stikalo: If your region observes Daylight Saving Time, set this switch to the 'ON' position. If your region does not observe DST (e.g., Arizona), set it to 'OFF'.

After setting these switches, the clock will continue its attempt to synchronize with the atomic signal and display the correct time for your selected zone, including automatic DST adjustments.

5. Upravljanje ure

Once the Adalene Atomic Wall Clock has successfully synchronized with the WWVB signal and your time zone and DST settings are configured, it will operate automatically. The clock will:

• Maintain precise timekeeping by regularly receiving the atomic signal.
• Automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time changes (if the DST switch is set to 'ON').

5.1 Ročna nastavitev časa (če je potrebno)

In rare cases, if the clock fails to synchronize after an extended period, or if you need to set the time manually for any reason, you can use the manual setting buttons located on the back of the clock. Refer to the troubleshooting section for guidance on manual adjustment.

6. Vzdrževanje

6.1 Čiščenje

To clean your clock, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the clock's finish or internal components.

6.2 Zamenjava baterije

7. Odpravljanje težav

7.1 Ponastavitev ure

If the clock is not functioning as expected, you can perform a reset. Locate the 'RESET' button on the back of the clock (often a small, recessed button). Use a pointed object (like a pen tip) to press and hold the button for a few seconds. This will reset the clock and initiate a new atomic signal search.
