  3. Once the battery is inserted, the clock hands will automatically move to the 12 o'clock position and then begin searching for the WWVB atomic signal.

4.2 Initial Atomic Time Synchronization

The clock will attempt to receive the WWVB radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado. This process can take several hours, especially if the signal is weak or if there is interference. For best reception:

  • Place the clock near a window, ideally facing towards Colorado.
  • Avoid placing the clock near electronic devices, metal structures, or large appliances that may cause interference.
  • Allow the clock to sit undisturbed overnight for optimal signal reception.

  • DST которгуч: If your region observes Daylight Saving Time, set this switch to the 'ON' position. If your region does not observe DST (e.g., Arizona), set it to 'OFF'.

After setting these switches, the clock will continue its attempt to synchronize with the atomic signal and display the correct time for your selected zone, including automatic DST adjustments.
