TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure you read the instructions before operating this clock.
We have developed this sophisticated instrument for the best
reception performance. However, the signal from the US Atomic
Clock transmitter in Colorado may be weakened or affected by
various causes over its transmission range before reaching your unit.
We advise you to note the following:
- If the unit has trouble receiving the signal, try a different location,
ideally near a window
- Always place the unit away from interfering sources such as TVs
computers, etc.
- Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal.
- Closed areas such as airports, basements, highrise blocks, or
other large structures will interfere with the RC signal.
- Do not start reception in moving vehicles such as cars or trains.
- Electrical storms can also interfere with the WWVB signal.
“
” will appear on the LCD display. This means that the clock has
received the time signal. Otherwise the signal strength symbol will
disappear from the LCD display.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (DST)

encode a special DST code in the WWVB transmission for Daylight
Saving Time.
- The unit will automatically advance the time by one hour in the

not turned off.
- DST function is set to AUTO by default. Please refer to Manual
Clock setting section for details.
