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.
•
Hold the Manual Set Tab and the hand will spin. Continue holding to reach the
correct time.
Note: You can only set the clock manually for about 2 minutes after inserting the
battery. If the clock receives the WWVB time signal, this signal will override manually set
time.
HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERY LAST?
•
A good AA Alkaline battery will last over 12 months.
CAN I SHUT OFF THE WWVB SIGNAL?
•
No. If you manually set the time, when the clock receives a WWVB signal, that
signal will override the manual set.
IS THERE A BOOSTER ANTENNA TO RECEIVE THE WWVB SIGNAL IN A DIFFICULT
LOCATION?
•
No, the clock cannot work with a booster antenna.
•
Opening the clock or movement voids the warranty.
CAN I WIRE A CONTROL TIMING CIRCUIT TO THE LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY
®
ATOMIC CLOCK?
•
No, the clock cannot work on a timing circuit.
•
Opening the clock voids the warranty.
WHY DO THE HANDS SPIN ONCE OR TWICE EVERYDAY?
•
When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the
time. The hour hand should not spin more than twice around the clock.
•
Hands may spin if the battery is underpowered or over powered.
•
Use only Alkaline batteries in the clock.
