Time is off by hours
• Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the clock. If not, the clock has not
received a WWVB time signal in the past 24-hours.
• Reposition the 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 (most areas observe DST so
this should be ON). 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 your 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. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not
change.
• Check for fresh batteries. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder
time picking up the signal.
• Position the 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, locate the
Clock near an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.
