There are two methods by which the time and date can be set:
A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or
B) Manually.
A. WWVB (Remote Control Time)
This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received, and to select a
time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The
best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less
atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, the Wireless Weather
Station conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any manually
set time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is
in progress and a signal is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been
received. If the WWVB time has not been received after 10 minutes of battery installation, you
may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur regardless).
After a successful reception, no more reception attempt would be made until the following day.
