TIME ZONE SETTING
After entering the manual setting mode as described above, the time zone can be set using the number of hours
different from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) range in LCD2. To do this:
1. The time zone (LCD2) will start flashing (Default setting "-5h"). Select the desired time zone by pressing
and releasing the + key.
Note: The time zones from –4 to –10 hours will be displayed with 3 characters abbreviations:
-4 ATL (Atlantic time),
-5 EST (Eastern time; default time zone),
-6 CST (Central time),
-7 MST (Mountain time),
-8 PST (Pacific time),
-9 ALA (Alaska time),
-10 HAW (Hawaii time).
"GMT" will be displayed if set to GMT (0).
2. Press and release the SET key to enter the "DST Setting".
DST SETTING (daylight saving time)
1. The ON digit will start flashing on LCD1. Set the DST ON or OFF by pressing the + key.
2. Press and release the SET key to enter the "Language Setting".
Note:
The DST default is "ON", meaning that the WWVB will automatically change the time according to Daylight
Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not recognize DST changes (Arizona and parts of Indiana)
turn the DST "OFF".
LANGUAGE SETTING
The weekdays can be displayed in LCD2 with the pre-set languages: English, French, Spanish and German.
US = English
F = French
E = Spanish (Espanol)
D = German (Deutsch)
1. Set the desired language for the weekday display in LCD 2 by use of the + key.
2. Press and release the SET key to enter the mode "Manual Time Setting".
MANUAL TIME SETTING
In case the atomic clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the
time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock.
Note: In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an additional "PM" for the time from 12:00 noon until
11:59 pm.
1. The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1.
2. Set the desired hours by pressing and releasing the + key followed by pressing the SET key.
3. Now the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Set the desired minutes by pressing and releasing the + key. If the + key is held, the units will increase by 5.
5. Press and release the SET key to move to the "Year Setting".
Note:
The unit will still try and 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.
