ATOMIC CLOCK FACTORY RESTART
Explanation: The factory restart returns the atomic clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and
often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1.
Remove the battery from the clock for 15 minutes.
2.
Press the Manual Set Tab at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3.
Insert fresh Alkaline battery into the clock.
4.
The hands will spin to 12:00, 4:00 or 8:00 and wait for the WWVB time signal.
SUPPORTED TIME ZONES
This atomic clock offers 4 time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern.
La Crosse Technology
®
does not make an analog clock with more than four time zones.
The atomic clock works in North America.
Outside of North America, the atomic clock will not receive a WWVB signal, but will keep
time like a quartz clock if manually set.
TIME IS INCORRECT
Indicative of non-receipt of WWVB signal
Electrical storms between you and Colorado can interfere with the WWVB signal
Replace battery and perform restart procedure. Allow up to 5 days to receive a signal.
Reposition the atomic clock with the front or back facing Colorado.
Try a different location, ideally near a window. The clock should be at least six feet from
computers, TVs, air conditioners, other atomic clocks and other electrical appliances that
cause interference.
Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical and/or
radio equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal.
CLOCK IS INCORRECT BY HOURS BUT MINUTES ARE CORRECT
This is a Time Zone issue. Hold your Time Zone button for 5 seconds. The clock should
correct itself.
Check that DST is on. Press and release the small, unmarked gray button between the
ET and CT button one time.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric
interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to
Standard Time and vice-versa to occur.
Press the DST indicator once. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not change. (Default is
ON).
. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder
time picking up the signal.
Position the atomic clock in a window (with the front or back) facing Ft. Collins, Colorado
and leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this direction,
position the clock near an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.
MANUALLY SET TIME
Remove battery for 15 minutes and press the Manual Set Tab 20 times.
After 15 minutes, insert the battery and allow the clock to spin to 12:00, 4:00 or 8:00.
