Note:
The unit will still try and 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 atomic 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.
