User manual LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY WT-3128H

[. . . ] The search procedures takes approximately 3 to 10 minutes after all hands have set to the 12:00 position. If a signal is found within the first 3 to 10 minutes, the clock will set to the correct time. If the clock does not receive a radio signal soon after activated, the clock will start running from the 12:00 position and will continue to run. In this case, do not attempt to reset the hands manually even though the time displayed on the clock is incorrect. [. . . ] Wait for the digital clock to receive the WWVB time and date from the analog clock. Then the digital clock will start normal runs. BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER DISPLAY KEY TIME SET KEY (FOR WORLD TIME) BATTERY COMPARTMENT Note: The minutes and seconds of the digital clock cannot be manually set. The calendar will also be updated once the WWVB signal from the analog clock has been received. This feature allows you to display a 2nd time from anywhere in the world. The world time can be manually adjusted by 1-hour increments (24 hour time zone). Note: WORLD TIME SETTING: Press the Time Set key to enter world time setting. Once the WWVB signal has been received by the digital clock, the manually adjusted world time will be updated. If a world time has been manually set prior to reception of the WWVB time, the time in the digital clock will change correspondingly with the analog clock. The calendar (month/day) will not follow the set world time; it can only be updated from the WWVB signal. When DST changes, the digital and analog times will set ahead or back one hour in accordance with the NIST signal. To maintain proper World Time, you may have to manually adjust the hour. CHANGING THE DISPLAY MODE (Indoor Temperature, Date, Weekday, World Time, Seconds) There are 4 possible display modes to view the indoor, month & day, weekday, world time, seconds. The temperature range is from 14. 2ºF to 103. 8ºF with 0. 2ºF resolution. The display will show the world time / seconds. 3 4. Press the Display key a fourth time. The display will return to the default display. Month & day / Indoor temperature Month & day / Weekday Note: If the Display key is pressed during the initial set-up of the of analog clock. The date and world time sections will not be shown in the different display modes. World time / Indoor temperature World Time / Seconds NOTHING IS MORE PRECISELY MEASURED THAN TIME! Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the measurement of time and has devised more accurate machines to trap and measure time. Today, time is precisely measured in the United States by the most accurate clock in North America, the Atomic Clock of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, Time and Frequency Division in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9, 192, 631, 770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB radio transmitter located in Fort Collins, Colorado, where the exact time signal is continuously broadcast throughout the United States at 60 kHz to take advantage of stable long wave radio paths found in that frequency range. Radio waves at these low frequencies use the earth and the ionosphere as a wave-guide and follow the curvature of the earth for long distances. The built in antenna system will receive the WWVB signal anywhere in North America within 2000 miles of Fort Collins where long-wave radio reception is undisturbed. A microprocessor activates the receiver and processes the time signal from Fort Collins overnight. Through the radio signals, La Crosse Technology atomic clocks always keep precise time.
