TROUBLESHOOTING
The wonderful advantage of owning a La Crosse Technology atomic clock is that
it is virtually trouble free. If the clock receives a clear signal it will set itself
perfectly. If it does not receive a signal consider the following:
Battery - The La Crosse Technology atomic clock must have a fresh battery to
receive and process the time signal.
Location - Try a different location, ideally near a window. It should be at least six
feet from computers, TVs, air conditioners, other atomic clocks and
other electrical appliances that cause interference.
Weather - Electrical storms between you and Colorado during the night will
interfere with the WWVB signal.
Reception - The clock seems to “take off” for no reason and then
stopping at the same time.
It is not uncommon for the clock to make a "correction",
sometimes daily. This happens if the clock gets ahead of itself by
a fraction of a second. To correct this, the clock will advance a
complete rotation the next time it receives a signal.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
The National Institute of Standards and Technology and WWVB encode a special
DST “bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST. Your La Crosse Technology clock
will read this information and automatically advance the hands one hour in the
spring and eleven hours in the fall.
ARIZONA
If you live in an area that does not recognize DST you must press the (unmarked)
DST button for one second to deactivate your clock’s DST program. To
reactivate the DST program simply press the DST button again for one second.
