ATOMIC CLOCK

The sensor automatically synchronizes the current time
and date on the clock when it is brought within range of
the WWVB-60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort
Collins, Colorado. For more information, please visit:
www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.stations/radioclocks.htm
The signals are collected by the remote sensor whenever
it is within 932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first set up the sensor, and whenever you press
RESET. If the RF signal is weak, it can take up to 24
hours to get a valid RF signal reception. Once complete,
the reception icon will stop blinking.
The icon shown in the Clock Area indicates 2
factors:
• Connection between the weather station and the
sensor that collects atomic clock signals (
• Atomic clock signal reception (
