The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:
•During nighttime hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.
•Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc.
•Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the main unit near the window for better reception.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the [
] icon will appear.
