2. Pake kontni
- MARATHON CL030068 Atomic Wall Clock
- AA Alkaline Batteries (included)
- Manyèl Itilizatè (dokiman sa a)
3. Enstalasyon
3.1 Enstalasyon batri
- Jwenn lòj batri a sou do revèy la.
- Insert the included AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Fèmen kouvèti lòj batri a.
3.2 Initial Synchronization and Time Zone Selection
Upon battery insertion, the clock will automatically begin searching for the NIST atomic time signal. This process may take several minutes to several hours, depending on your location and signal strength. The atomic time signal is broadcast from Colorado, USA, and is primarily effective in North America.
- Zòn Tan: Locate the time zone switch or button on the back of the clock. Select your appropriate North American time zone: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, Newfoundland, Alaska, or Hawaii.
- Resepsyon siyal: For optimal signal reception, place the clock near a window, away from electronic devices that may cause interference. The signal is often strongest during nighttime hours.

4. Operasyon Enstriksyon
4.1 Montre mòd
The clock offers multiple display modes. Use the 'MODE' button (if available) or refer to specific buttons on the back of your clock to cycle through the following displays:
- Ekspozisyon tan: Choose between AM/PM or 24-hour format.
- Dat ekspozisyon: Shows the month, weekday, and date.
- Ekspozisyon Tanperati: Displays the indoor room temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Use the ‘C/F’ button to switch between units.

4.2 Manyèl Tan Anviwònman
In the event that the atomic signal cannot be received, or if you wish to set the time manually, follow these steps:
- Press and hold the 'SET' button (or similar) until the time display begins to flash.
- Use the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the hour, then press 'SET' to confirm.
- Repete pou minit, ane, mwa, ak jou.
- Press 'SET' one last time to exit manual setting mode.
5. Karakteristik souview
- Self-Setting and Self-Adjusting: Automatically synchronizes with the NIST atomic clock signal for accurate time, including Daylight Saving Time adjustments.
- Gwo ekspozisyon: Features a 9-inch display with large 4-inch digits for easy readability from a distance.
- Mòd ekspozisyon miltip: Provides options for AM/PM or 24-hour time, full date (month, weekday, date), and indoor temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Eight North American Time Zones: Supports Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic, Newfoundland, Alaska, and Hawaii standard times.
- Plasman versatile: Designed for both wall mounting and tabletop use with a sturdy fold-out stand.

6. Mounting and Placement
6.1 Montaj mi
The clock features a keyhole slot on the back for easy wall mounting. Ensure the wall is suitable for supporting the clock's weight (approximately 558g).
6.2 Plasman Tabletop
Utilize the integrated fold-out stand on the back of the clock to place it securely on any flat surface, such as a desk, shelf, or table.
6.3 Optimal Signal Reception
For best atomic signal reception, position the clock:
- Near a window.
- Away from large metal objects or electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., televisions, computers, microwaves).
- In an area with minimal structural obstructions.

7. Antretyen
7.1 Ranplasman batri
When the display dims or becomes erratic, it is time to replace the batteries. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new, high-quality AA alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
7.2 Netwayaj
To clean the clock, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the display or casing.
NAN. Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Clock does not display anything. | Pil yo mouri oswa yo mal enstale. | Tcheke polarite pil yo. Ranplase yo ak pil AA nèf. |
| Clock does not synchronize with atomic signal. | Resepsyon siyal ki fèb akòz kote a oswa entèferans. | Move the clock to a different location, preferably near a window and away from electronics. Allow several hours, especially overnight, for synchronization. Manually set the time if necessary. |
| Lè ki pa kòrèk la parèt. | Incorrect time zone selected or atomic signal not received. | Verify the correct time zone is selected. Attempt to resynchronize or manually set the time. |
| Lekti tanperati a pa egzak. | Clock placed near a heat source or vent. | Deplase revèy la nan yon zòn ki gen yon tanperati anbyen ki estab. |
