This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received, and to select a
time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best
conditions for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less atmospheric
interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, the indoor weather station conducts a
WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any manually set time. The WWVB
tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in progress and a signal
is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been received. If the WWVB time has
not been received after 15 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the
time function alone (reception will occur regardless).
