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.
- צייט זאָנע: 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.
- סיגנאַל אָפּטראָג: 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.

6. מאַונטינג און פּלייסמאַנט
6.1 וואנט מאָונטינג
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 טאַבלעטאָפּ פּלייסמאַנט
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. וישאַלט
7.1 באַטערי פאַרבייַט
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 רייניקונג
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.
