WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station is located in Ft. Collins Colorado. It transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The Jumbo Weather Clock with Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours. The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station that derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the main unit’s display will flash indicating radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time is not set automatically, please consider the following:
*During
A single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the accuracy reading within 1 second.
*Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet minimum distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor, microwave, etc. The successful reception of the atomic time signal depends on the positioning and location of the clock. Always place the main unit by the window for better reception.
*Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place the unit near the window.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TREND
The temperature trend indicator shows the trend of temperatures collected at particular remote sight. There are three trends will be shown: rising, steady, and falling.
WEATHER FORECAST
The weather station is capable of detecting pressure changes. Based on collected data, it forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours.

LOST COMMUNICATION
If the main unit display for the remote sensor goes blank, press and hold [DOWN] button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn’t received,
please make sure that:
1. The remote sensor is in the proper location.
2. The distance between the main and remote units is not over 100 feet.
