RC Series Wireless Wall Clock
Installation Instructions
1. Ensure that the RC Master GPS Time Controller
& Transmitter are installed and fully operational.
2. Follow the Pre-Installation Testing procedures
found in the RC Master Installation Guide to
ensure proper signal coverage in all areas where
clocks are to be installed.
3. Initialize all clocks in the same room or close
proximity to the RC Master. Clocks should
remain in this area following initial synchronization
for 24 hours prior to permanent installation. This
will isolate any clock correction issues NOT related
to signal reception in final installation location.
4. To power on clocks and begin initial synchronization,
remove the lid to the Battery Case and install the (2)
AA batteries included with the clock. The
INDICATOR light will flash after the switch is
released indicating clock is waiting for signal.

press and hold the reset button for approximately 10
seconds. The hands will return to 12:00. Then press

bracket on the back of the clock.
NOTE: If you are installing clock onto existing wall
box, replace key hole mounting bracket with optional
wall box hanger bracket (p/n:C-142-1).
9. If desired, install a small securing screw into the wall
directly above the clock frame as shown to prohibit
clock from accidentally being knocked off of the
wall.
Turning Clock Off

for short term storage or transportation by pressing
and holding the RESET button for approximately 7
seconds. The clock hands will move to 12 o’clock

previous Installation Instructions Step 4.
Clocks That Fail to Synchronize
Infrequently, a wireless wall clock movement may fail to
respond to the pressing of the reset button located in the
upper left hand corner of the movement. This most
frequently occurs when the clock synchronization signal
has been interrupted by external electrical noise. Should
this occur, perform the following operation.
1. Remove the screw installed in the battery holder
cover.
2. Remove the battery holder cover and remove the
batteries.
