[. . . ] Within five minutes the clock should either: receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. The hands will remain at the 12:00, 4:00 or 8:00 o’clock position until the WWVB signal is received. The clock will continue to search for a WWVB signal at 15 minutes and 30 seconds before the following hours: 00:00, 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, 04:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00, 22:00, 23:00 and compares internal time with the new information. The wonderful advantage of owning a La Crosse Technology radio controlled clock is that it is virtually trouble free. [. . . ] In areas where no DST is observed deactivate DST by pressing the DSTOFF switch. Q-SET BUTTON: In some cases, the La Crosse Technology 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 Q-Set button, located at the back of the clock to manually set the time. SET TIME: On rare occasions it is not possible to receive a WWVB signal at the location of the clock. In this instance the clock may be set manually and will operate as a quartz clock. Press and hold the Q-Set Button on the backside of the movement until the second hand starts running. Release the button quickly (less than 3 seconds) and press it again to set actual time. Three seconds after releasing the Q-Set Button your clock will start working as a Quartz Clock. If a signal is received it will override the manual set time. AUTO CORRECTION: The clock automatically checks its hands position daily between 3:00 and 4:05 (pm). If hands position is not equal to internal time, the hands are driven (quick run) to the correct time again. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For a better understanding of how and why your clock works please continue reading. A: Check that the clock is not within 6 feet of TV-sets, monitors, telephone-sets or other items that may cause interference. Q: Is there a booster antenna to receive the WWVB signal in a difficult location?The hands will spin to 4:00, 8:00 or 12:00 and not move until the WWVB signal is received. Hold the correct time zone button for 5 seconds and the hands should correct. A: Locate the bronze colored pins in the upper left region of the movement on the back of the clock. Short across the pins briefly with a screwdriver or similar metal object and allow the hands to spin. Q: Battery was removed and put in again, but the movement does not restart and the hands do not spin. A: Remove the battery and press the Q-Set button 20 times to discharge electricity. CHANGING BATTERIES: For best performance, batteries should be replaced at least once a year to maintain the best running accuracy.
