Your Atomic Analog Talking Alarm Clock is a Single-Band Radio Controlled Clock and
automatically picks up the correct time according to the USA Atomic Clock. The
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station, WWVB, located in
Ft. Collins, Colorado, continuously broadcasts the time signal at 60 KHz. This signal can
be received up to 2,000 miles away where long wave (AM) radio reception is possible.
The WWVB station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, CO. Your
clock automatically searches for the signal at 3:00AM every night. After reception of the
signal the clock will set itself to show the official time. Everything is done automatically.
Your Atomic Clock automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. Simply set your
correct Time Zone and let the clock pick up the time signal to set the correct time. Your
clock can also be manually set when traveling abroad where signal reception is not
possible. Your clock can also search for signal reception at any time of day by pressing
the Wave button on back of the clock.
