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.
