User Manual for La Crosse Technology 10-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock 404-54667

Quick guide from the manual

This guide provides essential instructions for setting up and maintaining your La Crosse Technology 10-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock. The clock is designed to automatically synchronize with the WWVB Atomic Time Signal. If the signal is unavailable, the clock can be set manually.

Device Overview

The back of the clock features the following controls:

• SET: Used to manually set the time.
• WAVE: Initiates an atomic time search.
• RESET: Resets the clock if it becomes unresponsive.
• Battery Compartment: Requires one AA alkaline battery.
• Time Zone Selector: Set to P (Pacific), M (Mountain), C (Central), or E (Eastern).
• Daylight Saving Time Selector: Set to ON for DST all year or OFF for Standard Time all year.

Setup and Operation

Follow these steps to power up the clock:

1. Select your Time Zone and DST settings using the selectors on the back.
2. Insert one AA alkaline battery into the battery compartment.
3. The hands will move to the 12 o'clock position and search for the WWVB Atomic Time Signal for up to 8 minutes.
4. If no signal is found, the clock will run from 12:00. It will continue to search for the signal on its own for up to 5 nights.

For best reception, place the clock on an exterior wall near a window with the front or back facing Fort Collins, CO.

Manual Time Setting

If the atomic signal is not received, you can set the time manually:

• Fast set: Press and hold the SET button to move the hands quickly.
• Step-by-step: Press and release the SET button to move the hands forward one minute at a time.

Note: The Atomic Time Signal will override your manual setting if the transmission is received in the future.

Troubleshooting

If the clock does not respond when trying to set the time, press the RESET button once. The hands will move to the 12 o'clock position and begin searching for the WWVB signal again.
