MANUAL TIME SETTING
In case the SkyScan Atomic Clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.),
the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.
Note
:
In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an additional
“
PM
”
for the time from 12:00 noon until 11:59.

key to move to the
“Year Setting”
.
Note:
The unit will still try and receive the signal every day despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal,
it will change the manually set time into the received time. During reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will
flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception will still be
attempted the following hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception every full
hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for example at 1:00 am, the SkyScan Atomic Clock
will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal
attempt will take place between 12:00 am and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB reception takes place,
are upon setup and after manual time set exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due
to the interference of the sun.
