| Question: |
How do I power on the clock? |
|
|
| Answer: |
All that is required to initialize our clock is to simply insert Pyramid's “C” size lithium battery (p/n 42324) into the battery holder located on the back of the clock. The clock will automatically search for the 915MHz RF signal and synchronize itself to the Pyramid transmitter. After inserting the battery, simply hang the clock and walk away. |

| Question: |
Pyramid uses Lithium “C” size batteries in clocks. Is there an advantage with using Lithium batteries over NiMH and Alkaline types? |
|
|
| Answer: |
Pyramid Technologies uses Lithium batteries for two reasons. First is the extended longevity of 8-10 years of usage between battery changes. Second, Alkaline batteries have demonstrated a tendency to show some leakage after 2-3 years. |

| Question: |
How long will my clock battery last? |
|
|
| Answer: |
Pyramid uses Lithium "C" batteries which normally last 8-10 years. This figure is determined by calculating the energy drawn from the quartz clock motor and the energy drawn to power the electronic eye and microprocessor versus the energy reserves of the Lithium battery. |

| Question: |
Is an external battery system such as a UPS needed to run along with the transmitter and wireless clock system? |
|
|
| Answer: |
A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) backup system is not a requirement for our 915MHz transmitter. An internal battery stores all pertinent information and automatically reboots itself upon restoration of its primary power source. The transmitter automatically updates itself upon restart. |
