A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the WWVB signal has been

●
At 1:00 / 2:00 / 3:00am the Weather Station automatically carries out a synchronization
procedure with the WWVB signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (The radio mast symbol disappears from the
display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full
hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to 5 times.
●
If the clock cannot receive the WWVB signal you have the option of setting the time
manually and instructions can be found on page 7. As soon as the reception of the
WWVB signal is received the Weather Station is re-adjusted automatically.
●
We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8.2 Feet) to all sources of
interference, such as televisions or computer monitors.
●
Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with concrete walls and in offices. In such
extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window for better signal reception.
