II. PROGRAMMING  
A. SETTING THE TIME  
There are two methods by which the time  
and date can be set: 1) Automatically via  
WWVB reception, or 2) Manually.  
B. WWVB (Radio-Controlled Time)  
This method requires you to do nothing,  
except wait for the signal to be received,  
and to select a time zone. Reception  
usually takes approximately 6-10 minutes  
during optimal conditions.  
The best  
conditions for reception is at night,  
between midnight and 6:00 am—when  
there is less atmospheric interference. To  
keep your time as accurate as possible, the  
alarm clock conducts a WWVB search  
every night between these hours, and  
overrides any manually set time. The  
WWVB tower icon (appearing in the  
TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-  
search is in progress and a signal is being  
received, and will remain steady when the

signal has been received. If the WWVB  
time has not been received after 10  
minutes of battery installation, you may  
manually set the time or wait for the  
WWVB reception.  
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  
5

accuracy of ten billionths of a second per  
day. These physicists have created an  
international standard, measuring a second  
as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-  
133 atom in  
a
vacuum.

IV. TRAVELING  
A. When traveling, it will only be  
necessary to change to the appropriate  
time zone. Please note that the clock will  
only search for a signal when it is set  
between “GMT-4 and GMT-10.The alarm  
clock will set to any time zone from  
“GMT” to “GMT-12”. Outside this range,  
it will only be necessary to set the hour to  
the correct hour, leaving the time zone set  
to your local time zone. For example, if  
you are traveling to Hong Kong, you will  
need to manually set the hour to the local  
time. When the clock is back in the US, it  
will search for a signal and set to the  
proper time according to the time zone  
selected.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
NOTE: For problems not solved, please  
contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or  
phone,  
or  
visit  
our  
website,  
Problem: The time and date will not set  
initially.  
Solution: It usually takes overnight before  
the clock can receive the signal due to the  
interference the sun has on the WWVB  
signal. Wait overnight for the signal.  
Solution:  
Computer  
monitors  
and  
televisions can cause interference with the  
signal reception. Please keep the clock at  
least six feet from electrical sources.  
Solution: In some areas of the US, in  
particular on the East and West coasts, the  
signal is sometimes weak. It may take up to  
72 hours before a good signal is received.  
The reception can be helped by placing the  
clock in a window facing Colorado, with the  
back towards Colorado.

Solution: Be sure the time zone is set to a  
US time zone.
