| Description: This slim, sleek radio-controlled alarm clock keeps you absolutely on schedule--you'll wake up to perfect time A handsome, totally dependable addition to your bedside table, the Blue Glow Executive Atomic Clock stays dark until you press the top, then an eye-pleasing blue backlight turns on for three seconds--just enough for you to see the time. Because it receives a 60kHz WWVB signal transmitted by the NIST's U.S. Atomic Clock in Colorado, it's accurate to better than one second in 3,000 years. It's more than a simple timekeeper--the clock can give you all the information you need to know to start your day Loaded with functions, the alarm has a 10-minute snooze function; the month, day and date; and the time in 12 or 24 formats. After you’ve put your batteries in, the antenna icon will "search" the airwaves for the correct time; and when it stops waving, it means you’re in tune with the Atomic Clock. No need to reset the clock--it updates the time automatically An automatic time update occurs every day at 0.55 (12:55am) Eastern Standard Time. To select the temperature in oC or oF, press the button on the clock's bottom. The calendar with day-of-the-week will display until December 31, 2097. We recommend placing the clock near a window facing Boulder, Colorado. If you don't get the wave signal right away, be patient. This clock won't stop until if finds it! If the clock fails to receive the signal in the first reception after power-up, it will repeat a 10-minute reception sequence every 30 minutes. If you still haven't received the signal within three hours, the clock will repeat the reception mode every three hours--and it won't stop until the signal is received.
