• Please be sure you have selected your time zone from the list in the Settings menu.

• When the Atomic time signal is received, the station will set to the time zone selected. Default is Eastern

Time.

• The WWVB time signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away from Boulder Colorado. However, due

to the nature of the Earth's Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Radio-

controlled display will search for a signal every night when reception is best.

• Allow up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to

occur, depending on your location and atmospheric conditions.

For best signal reception, follow these steps:

1. Check for a Tower Icon showing on the display near the time. The tower icon indicates successful

reception of the WWVB signal in the past 24-hours.

2. Check that the Weather Station is in the correct Time Zone. This station offers seven time zones listed

in letter format (default is EST):

• Atlantic

• Eastern

• Central

• Mountain

• Pacific

• Alaskan
