CAN I SHUT OFF THE WWVB SIGNAL?

signal will override the manual set.

SIGNAL IN A 

DIFFICULT LOCATION?

  When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the 

time. The 

hour

 

hand

 should not spin more than twice around the clock. 

  Hands may spin if the battery is underpowered or over powered.  

  Use only Alkaline batteries in the clock. 

 

HANDS SPIN NON-STOP 

 

  This is indicative of a low or overpowered battery (number 1 warranty issue). 

  Replace battery and perform restart procedure. Allow 5 days to catch the WWVB 

signal 

  If constant spinning continues, the movement may need replacement. 

 

HANDS JUMPS OR JERKS AROUND THE DIAL 

 

  This is indicative of a low or overpowered battery (number 1 warranty issue). 

  Replace battery and perform the 

restart procedure

. Allow up to 5 days to receive a 

signal. 

  If the hands continue to jump, the movement may need replacement. 

 

HANDS STUCK AT CERTAIN TIME
