Warranty card ABOUT RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME - WWVB The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology--Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. [. . . ] Now replace the battery cover and face the travel alarm with the back of the unit towards Colorado (this has been found to help the unit pick up the WWVB signal). When the WWVB signal is received a tower icon will appear on the left side of the LCD display. · · NOTE: Due to the nature of the WWVB signal it may take overnight for the travel alarm to receive the signal and set. Adverse weather conditions may also affect the travel alarms' ability to receive the signal. In some cases it may take several nights for the travel alarm to set. 2 Figure Two Manual Time Setting Option (figure two) · · · · · Press and hold the MODE/MIN button for 4 sec.

Solution: It usually takes overnight before the clock can receive the signal due to the interference the sun has on the WWVB signal. Solution: Computer monitors and televisions can cause interference with the signal reception. Solution: In some areas of the US, in particular on the East and West coasts, the signal is very weak. The reception can be helped by placing the clock in a window facing Colorado, with the back towards Colorado.
