VII. TIME SETTING
There are two methods by which the time and date can be set:
A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or
B) Manually.
A. WWVB (Remote Control Time)
This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received, and to select a time zone.
Reception usually takes approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best conditions for reception is at
night, between midnight and 6:00 am—when there is less atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as
possible, the indoor weather station conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any
manually set time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in
progress and a signal is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been received. If the WWVB
time has not been received after 15 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the time
function alone (reception will occur regardless).
B. MANUAL TIME SETTING
Note: When in the 12-hour format “P.M.” will appear to the left of the hour in the time LCD between the hours
of noon and midnight.
Note: Reception of the WWVB signal will automatically set the time. The reception of the signal will override
any programmed time.
