  • Hi everybody, and welcome to my "stevenofpa" TH-cam Channel!
    This video shows you what it's like to see the time being set on this atomic clock made by lacrosse technology. The model # number is W85961 and it says it is an analog atomic wall clock, but it is sold and marketed under many brand names like better homes and gardens among others.
    Please post your questions and comments below, and Thanks for Watching. ENJOY!

    I lost the instructions for my clock and searched TH-cam to see if anyone had posted anything related to setting up my clock after my battery died, fortunately I only had to wait 2 minutes for the clock to reset itself once it reached 12.00 o’clock. Thank you so much for posting this because I think I may have lost my mind trying to remember how to set it up again 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️, needless to say I have saved your video just in case I forget how to do it when the battery dies again 👍🏼✌🏽☺️🕰⏰⌛️⏳🤣👍🏼👍🏼

    I have a Sharp atomic clock. Since I bought it, like 12 yrs. ago. It still operates on the same battery. It's amazing! It just keeps going and going and going 🕛

    It take about 5 mins to getting the Atomic signal and another 5 mins to setting correctly to the Atomic time.

    That is cool. But manually setting it probably would be quicker.

  • @TheCoolGuy1001
    @TheCoolGuy1001 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Heres a way of how to do it:
    Step 1: Put the battery in the clock.
    Step 2: Go to a nearest radio tower.
    Step 3: Choose if you want Pacific, Mountain, Centralor Eastern Time.
    Step 4: Wait for the clock to move its hands to the correct Time.
    Step 5: Choose if you want DST (Daylight Savings Time).
    Enjoy the clock!
    ⚠️ WARNING: DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SIGNALS AS THE CLOCK MAY LOSE CONTROL AND STOP WORKING.

      sensors in the clock.
      most likely a simple laser pointed at the shaft that spins the clocks hands. if the shaft has indentations on it the laser would take a varying time to reflect.

    @annecohen8927 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You are not supposed to move the clock while the clock’s antenna is searching for the signal from the atomic clock’s radio signal in Boulders, Colorado that is sending it out for the clock’s built-in antenna to receive it in order for it to set itself to the correct time

    Hi. This clock can really run… FAST.
    You de-mystified some important codes & how to’s (there is no manual, & TH-cam is more welcoming than looking up the dry instructions
    Having experienced the speed along hands, seconds & minutes, out! of! Con-trol!!
    &
    Now waiting on that stopped 12 o’ clock…
    Omg
    I guffawed/deep hearty belly laughed, appreciating you in the middle of that later night parking lot
    I like your human approach, human-ness! “We are having the time of our lives”…we just don’t know what (radio controlled clock) time that is.
    Thank you :)

      Yep, that's what I thought too! And when I tried to re-set the clock this year (back on Nov 1), I had such a hard time trying to get the clock to "sync up" with that radio station, that I manually set the time with those control buttons (after wasting more than an hour trying to get it to work).
