ATOMIC CLOCK FACTORY RESTART
Explanation:
The factory restart returns the atomic clock
to an “out-of-the-box” state and often
resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all batteries from the clock for 15 minutes.
2. Press the Manual Set Tab at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Insert two fresh Alkaline batteries into the clock.
4. The hands will spin to 12:00, 4:00 or 8:00 and wait for the WWVB time signal.
SUPPORTED TIME ZONES
•
This atomic clock offers 4 time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern.
•
La Crosse Technology
®
does not make an analog clock with more than four time zones.
•
The atomic clock works in North America.
•
Outside of North America, the atomic clock will not receive a WWVB signal, but will keep
time like a quartz clock if manually set.
TIME IS INCORRECT
•
Indicative of non-receipt of WWVB signal
•
Electrical storms between you and Colorado can interfere with the WWVB signal
•
Replace battery and perform restart procedure. Allow up to 5 days to receive a signal.
•
Reposition the atomic clock with the front or back facing Colorado.
•
Try a different location, ideally near a window. The clock should be at least six feet from
computers, TVs, air conditioners, other atomic clocks and other electrical appliances that
cause interference.
•
Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical and/or radio
equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal.
CLOCK IS INCORRECT BY HOURS BUT MINUTES ARE CORRECT
•
This is a Time Zone issue. Hold your Time Zone button for 5 seconds. The clock should
correct itself.
•
Check that DST is on. Press and release the small, unmarked gray button between the ET
and CT button one time.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
•
Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric
interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to
Standard Time and vice-versa to occur.
•
Press the DST indicator once. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not change. (Default is
ON).
•
. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time
picking up the signal.
