zero on the back of the clock, not recom-

mended. A couple of seconds later the

microprocessor displays the change.

The Mode Switch

Most of you will want to experiment with

display modes first. It is the third switch

(see below). With each display flash, it

goes from Mondrian, to Mondrian 2, to

TimeArt, and then back to Mondrian.

The Hourly Chime, Chime Switch & Volume

Control

The clock has an hourly chime. It is a sweet,

non-intrusive, dinner-bell sound. If you do

not want the hourly chime then the recom-

mended way* to turn it off is using the 4th

switch on the front. If the display flashes

when you push the switch, you have turned

OFF the hourly chime. If the display flashes,

and you hear a 'Ding' you have turned ON

the hourly chime. The chime volume can

be adjusted on the back of the clock. The

little white post is what you are looking for.

Turning it clockwise, as seen from the rear,

turns the volume down. Turning the chime

OFF then ON is an easy way to test the vol-

ume.

*Note: If you use the volume control to turn

off the chime, then you will not be able to

hear the "click" sound when you push on

the various front panel switches.

Setting the Time

First some general information. The two

switches on the left side of the front are for

setting the time (See Figure). The left switch

is the Hour Set. Just to the right is the Minute

Set switch. With each minute advance, the

seconds are set to zero. So setting the last

minute at 59 seconds will insure the hourly

chime is precise. You advance the time by

holding down a switch, but, and there is a

"but." An apology: Setting the time is a little

trickier than it should be. The problem is that

the microprocessor is too slow to display

the time as you advance it. So you have

to count flashes, or blinks. To understand

what I am talking about try this. Hold down

the Hour Set Switch and note a little blink

that occurs once per second (if you have

the volume turned up on the chime then

you will also hear a click sound). With each

blink the clock advances one hour. When

you release the switch, the microprocessor

will calculate what to display and 1-2 sec-

onds later, show you the results. The clock

will display the hour you advanced to. So if

you started at 3 o'clock and you counted

4 blinks it will now be at 7 o'clock. The min-

utes work the same way. For example, if

you started at 18 minutes and you counted

12 blinks you would now be at 30 minutes.

If you hold down both the Minute and the

Mode switche, each flash will subtract one

minute. Similarly, Hour & Mode subtracts

and hour with each flash.

Time Keeping, Accuracy & the Battery

The clock is accurate within 2 seconds

(see Note 1) except when the power is

OFF. TimePortal will keep time, no display,

when the power is off. There is a lithium

coin cell battery, #2450, on the back of

the clock. When the power is off it should

run off the battery and be accurate to

about one minute per year. The battery

should be changed every three years. If

you are going to store the clock for more

than a few months, remove the battery. To

remove the battery, push on the exposed

edge of the battery. You push toward the
