minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur regardless).
About Radio Controlled Time signal, WWVB:
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 alarm clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The alarm clock 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 physicists5
