Press and release the SET key to confirm the Time setting and continue 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 into 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 atomic 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 between 12:00 am and 6:00 am
the next day. The other times WWVB reception takes place, are upon setup and after manual time
set exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due to the interference
of the sun.
