Setting Your Time Zone; Setting The Daylight Savings Time Option - Uniden BC370CRS Owner's Manual

The NIST signal is very weak, so might not from all parts of your house or
at all times of day. Typically, reception is best at night and near a window.
The time reception antenna is integrated into your scanner, and is not
part of the AM or scanner antenna.
Notes:
• The antenna receives most strongly when the scanner keeps its left
side facing to the source of waves, Fort Collins in Colorado.
• Computers and some light dimmers can generate signals that can
interfere with the NIST signal. If this occurs, reposition the scanner away
from these devices, or turn them off to remove the interfering signal.
• If the scanner is inside of a building that has a lot of metal, the time-
setting signal will be blocked. Try positioning the scanner near a window.
There are four atomic clock settings:
• Time Zone
• Daylight Savings Time
• RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) On or Off
• Signal RX
