To power this Scope Clock box, use a wall wart (9V preferred) with a 5.5mm DC connector, center positive; this is the most widely used connector size.

This clock has an on-screen menu operated by the red push button located on the front. This button is also used to change the time and date. Of course, if you use the built-in GPS device, you'll never have to do this.

Also supported is automatic Daylight Saving Time for the US and EU zones (2008-2014). Configure your clock once and you'll always have accurate time!

Use the built-in Demo Mode to show off your gadget to friends and family. Select the Binary Clock mode to impress your friends and family!

Also included is a CD with several utilities to control the GPS device (Trimble Ace III) and a technical manual in pdf format. Changing the GPS device configuration requires some electronics expertise since you will have to provide your own RS-232 level converter for the control serial port. As shipped, the GPS device comes completely configured for use with the Scope Clock.

The GPS device can be turned off using the external on/off switch to save power when not in use. Instructing the Scope Clock to use the GPS info is done using the on-screen menu.

Correct GPS operation is indicating by the 'G' letter shown on the Scope Clock screen once every 5 seconds.

Note that the serial command line interface is only available when GPS mode is turned off.
