ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The weather station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium- 133 atom in a vacuum. For more information on the atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1)Insert two AA batteries into the Moon Phase Alarm Clock.

2)Wait 15 minutes for WWVB reception.

3)If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (instructions in the Program Mode).

4)Program the settings.

5)Place the WS-8053U in a suitable location, where WWVB signals can be received.
