Preparation
While the Weatheradio scans for the time
signal, you might see any of the following:
Notes:
• In some areas, your Weatheradio might
receive WWVB only during nighttime
hours.
• On very cloudy and stormy days, the
radio signal might not be strong enough
to set the clock.
When the Weatheradio receives a good sig-
nal,
flashes faster, and it automatically
sets the time.
You can also set the clock manually. See
“Manually Setting the Time.”
You can obtain more information about
WWVB on the World Wide Web at:
