COMFORT LEVEL INDICATION

The main unit is capable of detecting and displaying the current indoor comfort levels of 
surrounding environment. The comfort level based on the combination of the current indoor 
temperature and humidity readings. The following comfort levels may be displayed: 

COMFORT

 (comfortable); 

WET

 (wet) and 

DRY

 (dry)

CLOCK WINDOW

WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station (WWVB) is located in 
Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the most of the 
continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The main unit can receive this WWVB signal 
through the internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s 
ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will 
search for an alternate station that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock 
in Boulder, Colorado.

The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from 
the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set 
automatically, please consider the following: 

• During nighttime hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal 
  reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock 
  accuracy within 1 second.

• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source 
  such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.

• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be 
  weakened. Always place the main unit near the window for better reception. 

Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the 
[       ] icon will appear.
