PROGRAM MENU:

Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).

Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter.

During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

NOTE: In case the atomic color weather station is not able to detect the WWVB- signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set (please refer to notes TIME SET).
