La Crosse Technology WT-8029U Time Zone, Language, HOW to SET the Time Manually, Year

TIME ZONE

The time zone can be set between the +/–12 hour range in LCD2. To do this:

1.The time zone (LCD2) will start flashing (Default setting "EST -5“). Select the desired time zone by pressing and releasing the + key.

Time zone settings: -12, -11, -10, ALA, PST, MST, CST,

EST, ATL, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2...+12. (Default: EST)

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the “DST Setting“.

DST (daylight saving time)

1.The ON digit will start flashing on LCD1. Set the DST ON or OFF by pressing the + key.

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the “Language Setting“.

Note: The DST default is “ON”, meaning that the WWVB will automatically change the time according to Daylight Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not recognize DST changes (Arizona and parts of Indiana) turn the DST “OFF”.

LANGUAGE

The weekdays can be displayed in LCD1 with the pre-set languages: English (US), Spanish (E), French (F), and German (d):

1.Set the desired language for the weekday display in LCD1 by use of the + key.

2.Press and release the SET key to enter the mode “Manual Time Setting”.

HOW TO SET THE TIME MANUALLY

In case the radio-controlled clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.

Note: the time will be displayed with an additional “PM” for the time from 12:00 noon until 11:59.

Note: The unit will still try to receive the signal every day despite it being manually set. When it does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. During reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.

WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for example at 1:00 am, the radio-controlled clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00 am and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB reception takes place, are upon setup and after manual time set exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due to the interference of the sun.

After following the steps above (Time zone setting, DST ON/OFF, Language display setting):

1.The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1.

2.Set the desired hours by pressing and releasing the + key followed by pressing the SET key.

3.Now the minute digits will start flashing.

4.Set the desired minutes by pressing and releasing the + key. If the + key is held, the units will increase by 5.

5.Press and release the SET key to move to the “Year” setting.

YEAR

The year can be selected sequentially from 2001 to 2029 and will then start over again (default setting 2009). The year will only appear in the manual setting mode.

1.The year digits will start flashing (only last 2 digits) on LCD2. Select the desired year by use of the + key.

2.Press and release the SET key to switch to the “Month Setting”.
