WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME

The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
radio station (WWVB) is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It
transmits an exact time signal continuously throughout the most
of the continental United States at 60 KHz frequency. The main
unit can receive this WWVB signal through the internal antenna
from up to 2,000 miles away. Due to the nature of the Earth’s
ionosphere, reception can be limited during the daylight hours.
The radio controlled clock will search for an alternate station
that receives the atomic time signal from the NIST Atomic clock
in Boulder, Colorado.
The WWVB tower icon on the unit’s display will flash
indicating a radio signal reception from the WWVB station. If
the tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set
automatically, please consider the following:
• During nighttime hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and radio signal reception may improve. A
single daily reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock
accuracy within 1 second.
• Make sure the unit is positioned at 8 feet (2 meters) distance
from any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor,
microwave, etc.
• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or office
buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always place
the main unit near the window for better reception.
