Q: How is this new system unique?
A: This FCC-approved system is designed and field-tested by Primex Wireless and
is guaranteed to be secure and reliable.

Q: Why is this time system so accurate?
A: Passing GPS satellites send time signals, accurate to the second, to the GPS
receiver, which in turn sends signals to the transmitter. The signal is
rebroadcast to all clocks in the system using an FCC or Industry Canada
licensed FM radio signal. As a result, all system clocks are always
synchronized to the second.

Q: What is the quality of the various components?
A: All components of the Primex Wireless System meet high-quality industry
standards and have undergone rigorous field-testing.

Q: Is the system easy to install?
A: Yes. There is no expensive time- and labor-consuming hardware required. The
GPS receiver is easily mounted on a roof or window, and is connected with a
cable to the transmitter. Time signals are then sent wirelessly from the
transmitter to the system clocks. And since the entire system is wireless, it
can easily be moved to another location or a new facility in the future.

Q: How do the cost savings compare to hard-wired clock
systems?
A: To install a hard-wired synchronized clock system in an average size
(80,000- to 150,000-square-foot) building your total cost will be $20,000 to
$25,000. It will cost approximately $10,000 to wire the building, plus $10,000
to $15,000 for the system itself (assuming there are 50 clocks). With the
Primex Wireless System you eliminate this costly wiring and all future
wire-related problems.

Q: Why is the Primex Wireless System so reliable?
A: The system operates continuously, around the clock, every day of the year.
The GPS receiver is always collecting and sending information to the
transmitter. The transmitter continuously sends the correct time to the system
clocks. The system clocks compare the received signals to the time displayed
and make changes as needed. Maintenance-free for five years, the system clocks
also change automatically for Daylight Saving Time (there's an optional switch
to disable this feature in areas where DST is not observed).

Q: What happens when the power goes out?
A: If a power outage occurs, the system clocks continue to display highly
accurate time. The transmitter data is stored in non-volatile memory at the
onset of a power outage. Upon resumption of power, the transmitter receives the
correct time from the GPS receiver, corrects any internal data and sends the
updated exact time to the system clocks. In this way, power outages of normal
duration have no significant impact on the operational accuracy of the Primex
Wireless System.

Q: How does the system know to change time for Daylight
Saving Time (DST)?
A: The non-volatile memory in the transmitter stores the date and time for the
DST changes. On that day, the transmitter sends a signal to the satellite clock
that adjusts the clock for DST. This feature can be disabled in areas where DST
is not observed.

Q: Does the system come complete?
A: The system includes a GPS receiver, transmitter, antenna, and power cord.
system clocks are available in many colors, styles and sizes, including custom
logo designs. An unlimited number of system clocks can be purchased to run off
the system.

Q: What is the Clock Lock?
A: Many of our customers are concerned about theft or damage to their system
clocks. The Clock Lock feature locks the clock in place, making it difficult to
move. If the customer chooses not to use the Clock Lock, directions are
provided in the operation manual on how to disable this feature. Available on
all single-sided Traditional Series Clocks.

Q: How often do you need to change the batteries in the
system clocks?
A: The only batteries in the system are in the system clocks. The batteries
will last slightly longer than five years; however, it is strongly recommended
that batteries be changed every five years on a predictable maintenance
schedule.
