WWVB ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL
•
The weather station receives the Atomic Time Signal (WWVB) from Fort Collins, Colorado.
•
The station will automatically search for the atomic time signal at
UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
•
Press the SEARCH button to search manually, for the atomic time signal.
•
Please be sure you have selected your time zone from the list in the Settings menu.
•
When the Atomic time signal is received, the station will set to the time zone selected. Default is Eastern
Time.
•
The WWVB time signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away from Boulder Colorado. However, due
to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Radio-
controlled display will search for a signal every night when reception is best.
•
Allow up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to
occur, depending on your location and atmospheric conditions.
For best signal reception, follow these steps:
1.
Check for a Tower Icon showing on the display near the time. The tower icon indicates successful
reception of the WWVB signal in the past 24-hours.
2.
Check that the Weather Station is in the correct Time Zone. This station offers seven time zones listed
in letter format (default is EST):
•
Atlantic
•
Eastern
•
Central
•
Mountain
•
Pacific
•
Alaskan
