Temperature and Humidity 

 

The La Crosse Technology

®

 atomic wall clock has two analog sensors 

that measure surrounding temperature and humidity. The temperature 
information is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius, and humidity 
data is displayed in percentage.  

 

 

The thermometer and hygrometer have been calibrated at the factory.   
To check the sensors accuracy, tune to your local weather forecast 
information broadcast for the latest weather information. The sensors 
may be adjusted.  

 

 

To manually adjust the sensors, use a flat tipped screwdriver to gently 
turn the temperature or humidity sensor screw at the back of the clock 
until desired setting has been reached.  

 

Daylight Saving Time 

 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology and WWVB encode 
a special DST “bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST. Your clock will 
read this information and automatically advance the hands one hour in 
the spring and eleven hours in the fall. 

 

Arizona: 

If you live in an area that does not recognize DST, you must 

press the DST button one time only to turn OFF.
