Manual Set Time 

 
On rare occasions in certain areas, the clock may not be able to 
receive the radio controlled time signal due to the strength of 
the signal or the geographic location.  In this case, the clock 
can be set manually and used as a regular quartz wall clock.  

 

      

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

Note:

 Allow up to five nights for the clock to receive the WWVB 

signal 

before

 manually setting the time.  

  

Set the clock manually: 

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.

Three seconds after releasing the Q-Set Button your clock 
will start working as a Quartz Clock.

In Quartz Mode your clock will try to receive each even 
hour. If a signal is received it will override the manual set 
time.
