    To exit the setting modes ATOMIC CLOCK LCD SCREEN DESCRIPTIONS The atomic clock's LCD is divided into 2 sections and once the batteries are inserted, all the segments will light up briefly before displaying the information for time, date, indoor and outdoor temperatures.

  • Page 3: Time Zone Setting

    When the time signal is received for example at 1:00 am, the atomic clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00 am and 6:00 am the next day.

  • Page 5: 433Mhz Reception Check For Outdoor Temperature Transmitter

    Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the atomic clock, the WWVB tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the top center of the LCD. This indicates that the clock has detected a radio signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the WWVB tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.

    Gibbous POSITIONING Before permanently mounting ensure that the atomic clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the atomic clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours.

    Solution: 1) Replace the batteries. Problem: No reception of WWVB signal 1) It may help reception to face the front of the atomic clock in the general Solution: direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. 2) Wait overnight for signal. 3) Be sure the atomic clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical devices, i.e.
