WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and
transmits the exact time 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 atomic weather station. However, due to the nature
of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
The atomic weather station will search for a signal every night when
reception is best.

If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the WWVB tower does
not appear at all, then check the following:

Battery Cover Recommended distance from any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters).

Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the
received signal is weakened. In extreme cases, please place
the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the

screen if the reception of atomic time is successful. The atomic weather
station will have a daily synchronization at 02:03 and 03:03 everyday. Each
reception cycle is minimum 2.5 minutes and maximum 10 minutes.
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 12 months to
ensure optimum accuracy of these units. A low battery icon will display next
to the outdoor temperature when the transmitter batteries are low and next
to the indoor temperature then the batteries in the weather station are low.
