x Wall mounting case
x Mount in a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain
and sunshine.
x Under the eaves of your home is an ideal
place.
Positioning the Temperature Sensor:
The Sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the
two screws supplied. The Sensor can also be positioned on a flat surface by
securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.
Note: Before permanently fixing the Sensor wall base, place all units in the
desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is
receivable. If the signal is being received, the signal reception icon will be
displayed on the Atomic Clock. In event that the signal is not received,
relocate the Sensor or move it slightly as this may help the signal reception.
To ensure a good connection, there should be a distance of no more than
200 feet between the final position of the Atomic Clock and the Sensor.
To wall mount the Temperature Sensor:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws
and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.
WWVB (Atomic Time) Radio signal:
x The clock must receive the WWVB Radio Signal to automatically set
the time, date and weekday.
x The clock automatically starts the WWVB on the top of the hour
between the hours of 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
x If this synchronization attempt is successful the radio tower icon
appears on the display. The radio tower icon will disappear if the
signal reception is unsuccessful.
About WWVB (Atomic Time) Radio Signal Reception:
x A continuously displayed radio tower icon indicates that the
WWVB signal was received successfully during the last attempt. If
the clock attempts to receive the WWVB signal and is unsuccessful,
the tower icon will not be continuously displayed on the LCD.
x We recommend a minimum distance of 8 feet (2.5 meters) to all
sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors
x Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in
cellars) and in offices. In such environments, place the system close
to the window.

Daylight Saving Time
x The National Institute of Standards and Technology and WWVB
encode a special DST “bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST.
x Your La Crosse Technology® clock will read this information (only if
"DST" is set to "On") and automatically advance the time one hour in
the spring and back an hour in the fall.
x Arizona and Indiana: If you live in an area that does not recognize
DST you must de-activate Daylight Saving Time by setting "DST" to
"OFF"
x See "Set Daylight Saving Time ON/OFF" on page 4 for instructions.
