Kincaid Radio Controlled Clock Instruction Manual !exclusive!

Because the atomic signal is Universal Time (UTC) , you must tell the clock your local time zone.

If your Kincaid clock has a on the back:

Setting up a generally follows a standardized procedure for atomic clocks, which synchronize with the WWVB radio signal from Colorado. Because these clocks "listen" for a specific frequency, the initial setup and placement are the most critical steps. Quick Setup Guide kincaid radio controlled clock instruction manual

Your Kincaid clock automatically adjusts for DST in spring and fall. If you live in a region that does not observe DST (Arizona, Hawaii, Saskatchewan):

Press the M.SET button and hold it down. The hands will begin to advance. Because the atomic signal is Universal Time (UTC)

Kincaid radio-controlled clocks, often used in weather stations or as standalone wall clocks, are designed to sync automatically with the atomic time signal from Fort Collins, Colorado (WWVB). Because these devices rely on long-wave radio signals, initial setup and troubleshooting require specific steps to ensure a strong connection.

| | Solution | |---|---| | Dead battery | Replace with new alkaline battery (1.5V) | | Battery polarity reversed | Reinstall battery correctly (+ and -) | | Mechanical jam | Remove battery for 10 minutes, then retry. If hands still stuck, contact Kincaid support. | Quick Setup Guide Your Kincaid clock automatically adjusts

Both types rely on the same principle: a built-in ferrite antenna and a microchip that decodes the atomic clock signal.

A: The clock may lose its reference position. Always remove a dead battery immediately and follow the Manual Reference Reset procedure above.

The signal is a continuous 60 kHz frequency broadcast from Colorado. It travels hundreds of miles using low frequency waves. This signal cannot pass through dense metal or concrete. The signal is weaker during the day and strongest at night.

Decreases digits. Pressing and holding this button forces the clock to start an immediate manual search for the atomic signal.
