After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the
manual settings below. The default time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
4.
After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start. This reception typically takes between 5-10 minutes in good
conditions. If after 10 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET key to
manually enter the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the
WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The clock will then automatically attempt to
receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB
reception every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the received time
will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time
(Please refer to notes on “
Radio controlled time
” and “
Manual time setting
