time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal
Quartz clock.

Note
: the time will be displayed with an additional
“
PM
”
for the
time from 12:00 noon until 11:59.
Note:
The unit will still try to receive the signal every day
despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it
will change the manually set time into the received time. During
reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will flash. If reception
has been unsuccessful, then the WWVB tower icon will not
appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00
am each day (attempts WWVB reception every full hour within
this time frame). When the time signal is received for example
at 1:00 am, the radio-controlled clock will not attempt to receive
the WWVB signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am.
Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between
12:00 am and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB
reception takes place, are upon setup and after manual time set
exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during
daylight hours due to the interference of the sun.

ON/OFF, Language display setting):

The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1.
