  Reposition the Atomic Projection Alarm with the front or back facing Colorado. 

  Check that the 

Time Zone

 selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the time zone in the 

Program Menu

  Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (most areas observe DST so this should be 

ON). 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.
