D. Time
There are two methods by which the time can be set:
1. Automatically via WWVB reception, or
2. Manually.
1. 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 indoor 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 10 minutes after battery installation you may manually set
the time or wait for WWVB reception. Once the WWVB time
signal is received it will override the manually set time.
