controlled clocks.


Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the measurement of time and has

devised more accurate machines to trap and measure time. Today, time is precisely measured in the
United States by the most accurate clock in North America, the Atomic Clock of the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology, Time and Frequency Division in Boulder, Colorado. A team of
atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a
second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as
9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB
radio transmitter located in Fort Collins, Colorado, where the exact time signal is continuously
broadcast throughout the United States at 60 kHz to take advantage of stable long wave radio paths
found in that frequency range. Radio waves at these low frequencies use the earth and the
ionosphere as a wave-guide and follow the curvature of the earth for long distances.

The built in antenna system will receive the WWVB signal anywhere in North America within 2000

miles of Fort Collins where long-wave radio reception is undisturbed. A microprocessor activates the
receiver and processes the time signal from Fort Collins overnight.


Through the radio signals, La Crosse Technology radio controlled clocks always keep precise

time. The changeover from standard time to daylight saving time, and vice versa, takes place
automatically with the same precision.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS

To set up your clock simply install one fresh AA, LR6 ALKALINE battery. Due to the nature of long

wave radio signals it is normally not possible to receive a signal during the day so it is best to install
the battery late in the evening. Select your time zone by pressing one of the four time zone buttons
PT-Pacific Time, MT-Mountain Time, CT-Central Time, ET-Eastern Time. The time zone buttons may
be pressed any time after installing the batteries. If multiple buttons are pressed the clock will set to
the time zone selected last. If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. Another
time zone can be selected during or after the clock has set itself. Your clock can only set itself to one
of the four time zones stated above. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually
set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement.

Once the battery is installed the clock will begin searching for a signal. For the initial setting it is

recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. Within five minutes the clock
will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal
is not receivable at its current location and time of day. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward
the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o’clock position and search for WWVB each hour until a signal is
received. If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and
automatically reset the hands when the signal is received.

Daylight Saving Time

The National Institute of Standards and Technology and WWVB encode a special DST “bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST.

Your La Crosse Technology® clock will read this information (only if 'DST' is set to 'on' -) and automatically advance the time one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall.

Arizona: If you live in an area that does not recognize DST you must de-activate Daylight Saving Time by setting 'DST' to 'oF'

Setting the Time Zone:

Press the “▲” button to set the correct time zone. It will toggle the clock mode through the four available time zones in the Continental U.S. Above the seconds digits, the LCD display will indicate 'P' for Pacific, 'M' for Mountain, 'C' for Central and 'E' for Eastern.

After 30 seconds without pressing any button, the clock switches automatically from set mode to normal time mode.

Setting the Daily Alarms:

To turn the alarm on, press the ALARM button. LCD displays the “” icon.

°F/°C Temperature Display:

La Crosse Technology Atomic Time Clock Instructions

The temperature is displayed either in °F or °C. Briefly pressing the “▼ “button allows you to switch between the temperature modes.

Reception of the WWVB Radio signal:

The clock must receive the WWVB Radio Signal to automatically set the time, date and weekday.

The clock automatically starts the WWVB signal search after 7 minutes of any restart or changing of new fresh batteries. The radio tower icon starts to flash.

At 1:00 am, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure with the WWVB signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (the radio tower icon disappears from the display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full one hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to total 5 times.

To start manual WWVB signal reception, press the “WWVB SEARCH“ button. If no signals received within 7 minutes, then the WWVB signal search stops (the radio tower icon disappears) and will start again at the next full one-hour.

To cancel RC reception and stop searching for the WWVB radio signal, press the “WWVB SEARCH“ button once. The radio tower icon will disappear.

About WWVB Radio Signal Reception:

A flashing radio tower icon indicates that the WWVB signal reception has started.

Crosse

A continuously displayed radio tower icon indicates that the WWVB signal was received successfully during the last attempt. If the clock attempts to receive the WWVB signal and

Page 7 of 12

is unsuccessful, the tower icon will not be continuously displayed on the LCD.

We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8 feet) to all sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors

Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In such environments, place the system close to the window.
