6. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to

VIII. TIME SETTING
There are two methods by which the time and date 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 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best
condition 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 and a signal is being received, and
will remain steady when the signal has been received. 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
Note: When in the 12-hour format “P.M.” will appear to the left of the
hour in the time LCD between the hours of noon and midnight.
1. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds.
2. “LCD” will show in the time LCD and the number setting will
flash.
3. Press and release the SET button five times.
4. The time will flash in the time LCD.
