Does the clock have a backlight? 

 

 

No, as this clock is battery operated there is no backlight. 

 

 

Time is off by hours 

 

 

Check to see if the 

WWVB

 Tower icon appears on the atomic digital clock. If 

not, the digital clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 

hours.  

 

Reposition the digital clock with the front or back facing Colorado. 

 

Check that the 

Time Zone 

selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the 

time zone in th

Program Menu.

 

  Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (On this clock, please change 

the DST setting to OFF unless you live in Arizona). Adjust the DST indicator in the 

Program Menu.

 

 

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. 

 

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. 

 

Check for a 

WWVB

 Tower Icon showing on the atomic digital clock. The tower 

icon indicates you have received the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the 

past 24 hours.  

 

Check that the clock is in the correct 

Time Zone

.  

 

Check whether the DST indicator is ON or OFF. On this clock, please change 

the DST setting to OFF unless you live in Arizona. 

 

Check for fres

batteries

. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a 

harder time picking up the signal.

 

 

Position the digital 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.  

 

Atomic clock is dim 

 

Explanation:

 Most atomic clocks have a dark background. Place the atomic clock 

at eye level, to determine if it is dim. Atomic clocks that sit in the sunlight can 

develop a cloudy film over time. 

 

This is generally a power related issue.  

 

Batteries 

may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from 

atomic clock.  

 

Press any button 20 times. Leave the atomic clock unpowered for 1-2 hours. 

 

Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
