This is a Time Zone issue. Hold your Time Zone button for 5 seconds. The clock should
correct itself.
Check that DST is on. Press and release the small, unmarked gray button between the
ET and CT button one time.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
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.
Press the DST indicator once. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not change. (Default is
ON).
. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder
time picking up the signal.
Position the atomic clock in a window (with the front or back) facing Ft. Collins, Colorado
and leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this direction,
position the clock near an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.
MANUALLY SET TIME
Remove battery for 15 minutes and press the Manual Set Tab 20 times.
After 15 minutes, insert the battery and allow the clock to spin to 12:00, 4:00 or 8:00.
Hold the Manual Set Tab and the hand will spin. Continue holding to reach the correct
time.
Note: You can only set the clock manually for about 2 minutes after inserting the
battery. If the clock receives the WWVB time signal, this signal will override manually set
time.
HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERY LAST?
A good AA Alkaline battery will last over 12 months.
CAN I SHUT OFF THE WWVB SIGNAL?
No. If you manually set the time, when the clock receives a WWVB signal, that signal
will override the manual set.
IS THERE A BOOSTER ANTENNA TO RECEIVE THE WWVB SIGNAL IN A DIFFICULT
LOCATION?
No, the clock cannot work with a booster antenna.
Opening the clock or movement voids the warranty.
CAN I WIRE A CONTROL TIMING CIRCUIT TO THE LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY
®
ATOMIC CLOCK?
No, the clock cannot work on a timing circuit.
Opening the clock voids the warranty.
WHY DO THE HANDS SPIN ONCE OR TWICE EVERYDAY?
When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the
time. The hour hand should not spin more than twice around the clock.
Hands may spin if the battery is underpowered or over powered.
Use only Alkaline batteries in the clock.
HANDS SPIN NON-STOP
