The Atomix 75049 Regal by Chaney Instrument Co. is a medium-size digital atomic clock with a solid wood trim. In addition to the time, the Regal displays the month, date, weekday, and indoor temperature. At about 9-1/2 inches wide by 7 inches high, this clock will look great on a table, shelf, or wall in your home, office, or workspace. And most folks will find that the 5-inch-wide, 3-inch-high display is easy to read, even from across a room.

You'll appreciate the absolute accuracy and the useful features of the Atomix Regal clock. Because it's atomic, the Regal sets itself automatically and adjusts automatically twice a year for Daylight Saving Time (DST). If you live in a location that does not observe DST (Arizona and parts of Indiana), you can simply change the time zone for the correct time. Also, you can disable automatic setting of time and date and set the clock manually if you wish (for example, if you take the clock out of WWVB time signal range). By the way, on this clock you can select your continental U.S. time zone (E, C, M, or P) immediately after inserting batteries and before initial clock setup, as explained in the instructions.

The time can be displayed in 12-hour format (with AM and PM) or 24-hour format, as selected during clock setup. Time and perpetual calendar information (month, date, and day of week) are displayed automatically after the time-synchronization radio signal is received. Successful reception of the time signal from Colorado is indicated by a radio wave icon in the upper right corner of the display. Immediately below this icon is the continental U.S. time zone you selected. The indoor temperature can be displayed in either °F or °C, and the temperature unit can be changed at any time during normal operation simply by pressing the DOWN/C/F button on the back of the clock. You don't have to reinitiate clock setup to do this, and the temperature unit changes when you release the button.

The Regal has a single daily alarm with a repeat snooze function. When the alarm sounds, you can press the SNOOZE button to turn the alarm off for 5 minutes, after which it will sound again.

This clock is powered by two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries. These are not included and must be obtained separately. While no battery life is specified, we expect that the batteries will last for about a year.

With the included table stand installed, the Atomix 75049 Regal can be used as a free-standing unit on a table, shelf, or possibly even a mantel. (It's probably too big for desktop use unless your desk is really big and uncluttered.) Remove the stand, and you can hang the Regal on a wall. This clock's warm wood finish and clean, uncluttered styling will complement a variety of interior decors.

Note: The 60kHz AM radio signal used by NIST to deliver the time information carries best at night. The signal may be interfered with by weather conditions and local interference. Building construction and location within the building can also affect reception. This clock is quartz controlled and will keep very good time for days when reception is poor, so this isn't normally a problem. You may find, however, that when you first insert the batteries, or during a Daylight Saving Time change, the clock will not be able to set itself immediately if reception is poor. Signal strength is indicated by a tower and waves icon in the time display. You may wish to check the icon when selecting a location for your clock. Because wiring and plumbing in your walls can affect reception, moving the clock as little as a couple of inches can make a difference in the strength of the signal reaching the clock.
