Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Q. How long will the battery last? 
A.
 

A good AA alkaline battery will last over 24 months.  

 

Q: Can I wire a control timing circuit to the La Crosse Technology® atomic 
clock?
      
A: 

The clock cannot work on a timing circuit. Opening the clock voids the 

warranty. 

 

Q: Is there a booster antenna to receive the WWVB signal in a difficult 
location?
 
A: 

The clock cannot work with a booster antenna. Opening the clock or 

movement voids the warranty. 

 

Q: Can I shut off the WWVB signal? 
A: 

No.  If you manually set the time, when the clock receives a WWVB signal, 

that signal will override the manual set. The WAVE button will temporarily stop a 
WWVB search, but will not permanent stop the clock from receiving a WWVB 
time signal.
