I believe the label is still on my puck, I will look this evening. Lithium batteries are finicky little devices. They like to be stored depleted and charged just before use. Staying charged all the time is probably the worst case scenario for these little cells.

I would not be surprised to see them eventually fail in droves. Maybe the configuration is maintained in a capacitor? Do you know for a fact there is a lithium cell?

At one time PC's had "PS2" ports and serial ports, both of which could be directly adapted to talk to the Haicomm units. I distinctly recall tinkering with one at one point, perhaps during some similar discussions with Jeff.

The only definitive data I have on the internals is the owner's manual, that on Page 10 states that Backup power is provided by a "3V Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery". The new settings will remain effective on next power-on as long as the on-board rechargeable backup battery is not discharged. After the backup battery is discharged, factory preset default settings will be used. Thanks Sonar Tech I originally bought two 1 black and 1 silver but do not run the two at the same time I'm sure the other puck has died by now good to have these instructions I have around fifteen boards left and five are spoken for.

After this, I doubt that I'll make more. Around 33 have been sold so far. They should be ready sometime later this month or early next month.

Great information and nice write up. As many of you know I have several of Jeff's clocks in a couple flavors and many of them are bring driven by Haicoms and several BR's. A couple of months ago I went through all of the GPS's and turned off all the other 'competing' strings. Some of the Haicoms were originally done by Jeff, but most of the others and all the GlobalSats had never been done.

Each one is shaped in the form of a number. The tube is then filled with neon gas and a little bit of mercury to prevent cathode poisoning. Like the Scope Clock, the time is set via GPS but a built in clock keeps the clock going when a signal cannot be located. The tubes are some of the largest that were produced in quantity which adds a collector value to the clock. Since they do wear out, I have a second set stored in a hard Pelican case. If you're looking for an IN clock, this is the one to get!

The GPS antenna and power connectors are shown at the rear. The setup menu features are accessed via the two pushbuttons at the back. Click Here to download the NixiChron Operation manual in.
