If multiple buttons are pressed, the clock will set to the time zone selected last. Your clock can only set itself to one of the four time zones stated above. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement. Once the clock has reached the correct time, you are ready to hang your clock. ONCE THE CLOCK HAS SET TO THE DEFAULT PACIFIC TIME ZONE, YOU MUST PRESS THE CORRECT TIME ZONE BUTTON. Select a location to place your radio-controlled clock where it will be at least six feet away from a TV, computer, air conditioner or other household electrical appliances. The WWVB time signal will easily penetrate masonry and wood framed buildings. WWVB will penetrate almost every residential building and most steel buildings if they have adequate windows. It is not possible, however, for WWVB to penetrate most indoor shopping malls and rooms in the center of large office buildings that do not have windows. In buildings that WWVB cannot penetrate, you may set the time using the manual time set button. When the clock receives the WWVB signal it will automatically set the hands to the exact time. 5 For more information on the NIST and radio controlled time, see www. boulder. nist. gov/timefreq/ *DST (Daylight saving time) ON/OFF button Pressing DST-ON/OFF button during DST the clock will switch to time without daylight saving. In areas where no DST is used you may deactivate DST by pressing the DST-OFF switch. SET THE TIME USING THE MANUAL TIME SET BUTTON In some cases, the clock may not receive the WWVB signal due to atmospheric disturbances or hard to reach locations such as inside shopping malls. In this case, please use the Manual Time Set button, located at the back of the clock to manually set the time. Release the Manual Set button and again press and hold the Manual Set button. About 3 seconds later, the second hands will start to move and the clock is now running with manual time. Note: When the clock displays manual time, it will continue to try to receive the WWVB signal at each of the even numbered hours: 0:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00 . . . 20:00 & 22:00. TROUBLESHOOTING The wonderful advantage of owning a La Crosse Technology radio controlled clock is that it is virtually trouble free. If it does not receive a signal consider the following: Battery Location The clock should have a fresh Alkaline Battery to best receive and process the time signal. It should be at least six feet from computers, TVs, air conditioners, other Radio Controlled clocks and other electrical appliances that cause interference. Electrical storms between you and Colorado during the night will interfere with the WWVB signal. Although we cannot control the weather, we can help you predict it. Weather - Reception - The clock seems to "take off" for no reason and then stopping at the same time. It is not uncommon for the clock to make a "correction", sometimes daily.
