Does the clock have a backlight?
When operating with the AC adapter, the backlight is adjustable: (HI-LOW-OFF).
Press and release the SNOOZE/LIGHT HI-LOW-OFF button to adjust backlight.
When operating on batteries only, the backlight will come on briefly when the SNOOZE button
is pressed.
Time is off by hours
Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the atomic digital clock. If not, the digital
clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.
Reposition the digital clock with the front or back facing Colorado.
Check that the Time Zone
selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the time zone in the
Program Menu.
Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (On this clock, please change the DST
setting to OFF unless you live in Arizona). Adjust the DST indicator in the Program Menu.
Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical and/or radio
equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal.
Daylight Saving Time
Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric interference,
it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and
vice-versa to occur.
Check for a WWVB Tower Icon showing on the atomic digital clock. The tower icon indicates
you have received the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the past 24 hours.
Check that the clock is in the correct Time Zone.
Check whether the DST indicator is ON or OFF. On this clock, please change the DST setting
to OFF unless you live in Arizona.
Check for fresh batteries. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time
picking up the signal.
Position the digital clock in a window (with the front or back) facing Ft. Collins, Colorado and
leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this direction, position the clock
near an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.
Different Information Displayed
This clock offers three different display modes.
Press and release the MODE button to select different modes.
