Problem 

Solution 

Radio controlled clock does not update or 
time is wrong. 

 

Hang the clock on a wall

. Laying the clock flat 

on a surface will result in poor reception. 

 

Be patient. Wait at least one week before 
contacting Ambient Weather.

 The RCC is a 

shortwave signal originating near Fort Collins, 
Colorado, and travels thousands of miles by 
bouncing off the ionosphere. The signal is better 
at night due to solar interference during the 
daytime. The farther you are from Colorado, the 
weaker the signal. Urban environments can also 
affect the signal strength. 

 

Locate the Clock at night near a window or 
outer wall, and away from other radiating 
sources, like wireless routers or TVs.

 This will 

insure the best reception possible. 

 

Replace the batteries in the clock if 
required. 

Low batteries are often the cause for 

weak reception. 

 

Check your Time Zone Setting.

 Make sure 

your time zone is set properly in the clock 
settings. 

 

Avoid closed in areas.

 Closed in areas such as 

basements are not recommended. 

The clock is off by increments of an hour. 

 

Check your Time Zone and DST 
Settings.

 Make sure your time zone and DST 

switches are set properly. 

The clock does not respond to commands. 

 

Press the reset button on the back of the clock.
