How do you set a Quartex atomic clock?

Press and hold the “REC” button (D) for 3 seconds. The clock will search for the atomic signal. The clockʼs hands will move to the 12:00 position and the atomic signal will be received within 3-12 minutes. Once the atomic signal has been received, the clock will set itself to the correct time.

How do you reset atomic clocks?

Atomic Clocks may also be set manually and be very accurate. Simply insert the battery, press your time zone and then press the flap just above the left side of the battery. Hold until you reach the correct time and then release.

Why does my atomic clock have the wrong time?

It is possible the clock is in an area with a lot of wireless interference. If your clock did not change with Daylight Savings Time (DST), make sure the DST switch on the back of the clock is set to ON. If your clock is off by increments of an hour, the Time Zone (TZ) is set incorrectly.

How long does it take for an atomic clock to set itself?

When you turn a radio controlled clock on, it will probably miss the first time code, so it usually takes more than one minute to set itself (sometimes 5 minutes or longer) depending on the signal quality and the receiver design.

Why is my atomic clock not working?

Try powering down the clock (unplug it or remove the batteries), then turn it on again to see if it synchronizes. If the clock uses batteries, check them and replace if necessary. If the radio controlled clock is a desk top unit, try rotating it 90 degrees.

Why is my atomic clock off by 20 minutes?

CLOCK IS OFF BY A FEW MINUTES OR SECONDS If an atomic radio controlled clock isn’t currently receiving the WWVB atomic clock synch signal, it’s time display will gradually “drift” away from the correct time. The clock is no longer radio controlled; it’s just a regular quartz clock.

Why is the time wrong on my atomic clock?

Do you need to manually set the date on a quartz clock?

This quartz clock movement contains an internal, pre-programmed microchip calendar, so you won’t need to manually set the date. Features an encapsulated gear train inside the clock movement, designed to keep debris out of the gears for years of trouble-free operation.

How long do you press the Rec button on an atomic clock?

During normal run time, press the REC button for 3 seconds. The hands stop moving and the clock starts searching for the radio signal. (There are 2 REC buttons on the back of your clock and you may use either one.)

How big are the hands on a quartz clock?
