TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
The La Crosse Technology clock has two analog sensors that measure surrounding
temperature and humidity. The temperature information is displayed in degrees Fahrenheit and
Celsius, and humidity data is displayed in a percentage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The wonderful advantage of owning a La Crosse Technology radio controlled clock is that it is
virtually trouble free. If the clock receives a clear signal it will set itself perfectly. If it does not
receive a signal consider the following:
Battery - The La Crosse Technology clock must have a fresh battery to receive and process
the time signal.
Location - Try a different location, ideally near a window. It should be at least six feet from
computers, TVs, air conditioners, other Radio-Controlled clocks and other
electrical appliances that cause interference.
Weather - Electrical storms between you and Colorado during the night will interfere with the
WWVB signal.
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
and automatically advance the hands one hour in the spring and eleven hours in the fall.
ARIZONA AND HAWAII
If you live in an area that does not recognize DST you must press the (unmarked) DST button
for one second to deactivate your clock’s DST program. To reactivate the DST program simply
press the DST button again for one second.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long will the battery last?

one year.
Q. Can a La Crosse Technology clock be used outdoors?
A. No, outdoor use is not recommended for this clock.
Q. Can the La Crosse Technology clock be wired to control timing circuits?
