D. Time

There are two methods by which the time can be set:

1.Automatically via WWVB reception, or

2.Manually.

1.WWVB (Remote Control Time)

This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received and to select a time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 6-10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best conditions for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, the indoor weather station conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours and overrides any manually set time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in progress, will remain steady when the signal has been received, and nothing will be displayed in all other situations. If the WWVB time has not been received 10 minutes after battery installation you may manually set the time or wait for WWVB reception. Once the WWVB time signal is received it will override the manually set time.
