This projection alarm clock sets itself to the U.S. Atomic Clock, using radio waves for split-second accurate time. The projection light can be rotated by to 90 degrees to offer a unique way to read time in the middle of the night by casting the time in glowing red numbers on the ceiling or virtually any flat surface.

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the first auto-setting, always accurate alarm clocks. We want you to be very happy with this clock, but please remember this is a radio wave device, and not a perfect science. There are certain areas of the eastern United States where urban interference or signals from the United Kingdom’s radio control tower may distort or delay the time-setting signal. Even though these areas may have more difficulty receiving a signal, The Time Machineä contains a very accurate quartz movement and will maintain a precise time even if the radio signal is missed on occasion. In the Fall of 1997, the US Government will be increasing the signal strength of the Atomic Clock transmitter, which should eliminate most of the weak signal areas. However, the areas marked on the map below will still have greater difficulty receiving the radio signal.

The split-second, precise timelines of the new Time Machine Projection Clock is achieved through its pretuned internal radio receiver that responds to a special 60kHz frequency time signal generated by the US Atomic Clock, one of the most accurate clocks in the world. This extraordinary timepiece, located outside Boulder, Colorado, is operated by the US Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology.

The Oregon Scientific Time Machine Projection Clock automatically activates its receiver immediately upon battery insertion and then six times every 24 hours and makes any adjustments in its time display. It usually takes 3-7 minutes for the clock to receive the initial radio signal and adjust the time, day and date accordingly. There is no option for continual display of the red projection beam with battery only power. If the projection light ON switch located on the back of the unit is in the “on” position in battery only mode, the projection beam is disabled. Projection Clock with A/C Adapter

Aim the rotating Projection Arm so that the projection beam is positioned where you want it. Turn the focus dial on the side of the projection arm until the red clock display is focused and easy to read.
