How to Get Atomic Projection Clocks

Atomic projection clocks display the current time digitally on the clock screen and project it on the wall or ceiling. Atomic projection clocks keep time by receiving a radio-controlled time signal. These clocks need to be set any time the batteries die or they become unplugged.


  1. Plug your atomic clock into a power outlet, or place batteries inside it.

  2. Place the clock near a window and leave it there for 20 to 30 minutes while it searches for the atomic signal. It is best to set your clock at night because this is the time when the signal is the strongest. When the clock picks up the signal, it will automatically display the time. If you want to manually set the atomic clock, press and hold the "Time" button. Press the "Hour" button to move through the numbers. Release it when you reach the right hour time setting. Press the "Minute" button until you have reached to right minute time setting. If you wish to set an alarm, repeat this process, only hold in the "Alarm" button instead of the "Time" button.

  3. Position your clock on a shelf or table near the wall or part of the ceiling where you want the time to be projected. Tilt the screen in the direction you want the projection.

  4. Press and hold the "Snooze" button on top of the clock. Release it when the projection is displayed. If you want the projection to stay on the wall or ceiling at all times, you should plug the clock into a wall outlet. This feature can quickly drain batteries if left on.
