V. TIME
There are two methods by which the time 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 6-10 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 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, will remain
steady when the signal has been received, and nothing will be
displayed in all other situations. If the WWVB time has not been
received after 10 minutes of battery installation, you may manually
set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur
regardless).
B. MANUAL TIME SETTING
1. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds or until “12h”
flashes in the DATE LCD.
2. Press the SET button 3 more times (until the hour digit
flashes in the TIME LCD).
3. Press the CH button to change the hour.
4. Press the SET button to confirm the hour setting, and to
advance to the minute setting mode.
5. The minute digits will be flashing. Press the CH button to
change the minutes. Increasing the minutes by increments of 1
with each press of the CH button.
6. Press the SET button to confirm the minutes and to advance to
the Day, Date and Year setting mode.
