search will automatically resume every two hours until the signal is successfully captured. The regular 
RF link  will resume once RCC  reception routine is finished.  In some locations, RCC reception may 
take  a  couple  of  days  to  receive  the  signal.  The  temperature  and  humidity  data  will  continue  to 
transmit during this period. 
 
Once the radio controlled time is received the 

WWVB

 icon will be present above the time (reference 

Figure 2). 

Note: 

The RCC search icon 

  is normally off and will momentarily flash when updated. The 

signal is passed from the outdoor sensor to the console, and will not update if the outdoor sensor is not 
updating properly.
