•
Once batteries are installed, your station will automatically search for the atomic time signal for 5
minutes. Your station will search again at UTC 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00.
•
If there is no WWVB reception, your station will search for the atomic time signal every 2 hours until the
WWVB time is received.
•
The atomic time signal icon will flash while searching. The tower icon will be solid when it has
connected.
•
After reception, this station will only search for the atomic signal after midnight.
•
From normal time display, press and release the
SEARCH
button to search for the WWVB time signal.

showing on the display near the time. The tower icon indicates successful
reception of the WWVB signal in the past 24-hours.

or OFF. If the indicator is OFF your station will not change into or out
of Daylight Saving Time.

Note:
Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time picking up
the signal.
