Recommended distance to 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 naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to
a window and/ or point its front or back towards the Fort Collins, Colorado,
transmitter.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and
reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to
keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
NOTE: In case the atomic color weather station is not able to detect the WWVB-
signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set
(please refer to notes TIME SET).
