MST= Mountain, PST= Pacific, AKT= Alaska, HAT=Hawaiian The digital clock works in 

North America.  

 

Outside of North America, the digital clock will not receive a WWVB signal, but will 

keep time like a quartz clock. 

 

Dashes, HHH, LLL or Stuck Indoor Temperature 

 

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is outside of 

its readable range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related issue.  

 

 

This is generally a power related issue. 

 

Batteries

 may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from atomic digital 

clock.  

 

Press any button 20 times. Leave the digital clock unpowered for 1-2 hours.  

 

Insert fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.  

 

If the indoor temperature is still dashes or HHH, LLL, the digital clock may need 

replacement. 

 

Does the clock have a backlight? 

 

 

No, as this clock is battery operated there is no backlight. 

 

Time is off by hours 

 

 

Check to see if the 

WWVB

 Tower icon appears on the atomic digital clock. If not, the 

digital clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.  

 

Reposition the digital clock with the front or back facing Colorado. 

 

Check that the 

Time Zone 

selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the time 

zone in the 

Program Menu.

 

 

Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (most areas observe DST so 

this should be ON). Adjust the DST indicator in the 

Program Menu.

 

 

Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical and/or 

radio equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal. 

 

Daylight Saving Time 

 

Some states are considering going to year around Daylight Saving Time.  We have built in 

options to accommodate this feature into the program menu. 

DST ON:  (Automatically gain 1 hour in spring, lose 1 hour in fall) 

DST OFF:  (Remain in Standard Time all year long) 

DST ALWAYS ON: (Remain in Daylight Saving Time all year long) 

 

 

Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric 

interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to 

Standard Time and vice-versa to occur. 

 

Check for a 

WWVB

 Tower Icon showing on the atomic digital clock. The tower icon 

indicates you have received the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the past 24 hours.  

 

Check that the clock is in the correct 

Time Zone
