Troubleshooting
The wonderful advantage of owning a Skyscan radio controlled clock is that it is virtually
trouble free. If the clock receives a clear signal it will set itself perfectly. If it does not
receive a signal consider the following:
Battery
- The Skyscan clock must have a fresh battery to receive and process the time
signal.
Location - Try a different location, ideally near a window. It should be at least six feet
from computers, TVs, air conditioners, other Radio-Controlled clocks and other electrical
appliances that cause interference.
Weather - Electrical storms between you and Colorado during the night will interfere
with the WWVB signal.
Daylight Savings Time
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and WWVB encode a special DST
"bit" in the WWVB transmission for DST. Your Skyscan clock will read this information
and automatically advance the hands one hour in the spring and eleven hours in the fall.
Arizona and Indiana
If you live in an area that does not recognize DST you must press the (unmarked) DST
button for one second to deactivate your clock's DST program. To reactivate the DST
program simply press the DST button again for one second.
