Atomic Clock Feature 

The Amano atomic clock receives time signals on long 
wave radio (60 kHz) from the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station WWVB, 
located in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is coupled with 
the atomic cesium clock in Boulder. The PIX-55 
receives the WWVB time signal via its built-in antenna  
system. Your clock will try to find the signal on a daily basis. 

The Atomic Time Synchronization Indicator in the LCD 
Display indicates the status of the signal. When you first 
receive the clock, it may be necessary to adjust the hour and 
minute. If your PIX-55 is located in an area that cannot 
receive the Atomic time signal, DO NOT be concerned, since 
the PIX-55 is able to accurately keep the time using its quartz 
mechanism (plus or minus three seconds per week).
