READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the main unit. There are three possible forms:
The Unit is in searching mode
Temperature readings are securely registered
No signals. | ˚F |
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) radio station, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout the continental United States at 60KHz. Wireless Weather Forecaster can receive this WWVB signal through its internal antenna from the distance up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daytime. The radio control clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station receives 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. When the time signal is received, the WWVB tower icon turns on and the time of the selected time zone will be displayed. If only the part of the WWVB tower icon turns on or the WWVB tower does not appear at all and the time is not set, please consider the following:
*Make sure the main unit is positioned at 8 feet distance from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitors, microwave ovens, etc
