MANUAL TIME SETTING
In case the radio-controlled clock is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances,
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then work as a
normal Quartz clock.
Note: In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an additional PM for the time from
12:00 noon until 11:59 pm.
1. The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1.
2. Set the desired hours by pressing and releasing the + key followed by pressing the
SET key.
3. Now the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Set the desired minutes by pressing and releasing the + key. If the + key is held, the
units will increase by 5.
5. Press and release the SET key to move to the “Year Setting”.
Note:
The unit will still try to receive the signal every day despite it being manually set. When it
does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time to the received time. During
reception attempts, the WWVB tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful,
then the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following
hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts
WWVB reception every full hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for
example at 1:00 am, the radio-controlled clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal
for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place
