VIII. TIME SETTING
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 indoor 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).
B. MANUAL TIME SETTING
Note: When in the 12-hour format “P.M” will appear to the left of
the hour in the time LCD between the hours of noon and midnight.
1. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds.
2. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will
flash.
3. Press and release the SET button five times.
4. The time will flash in the time LCD.
