ple, if you live in North or South America, set it to -. To

While off, it will automatically tune to one of the
National Bureau Of Standards WWV stations for auto-
matic time-set. It will automatically tune to the
strongest WWV station it can find. At night, this is like-
ly to be 5000 or 10000 kilohertz. During the day it
may use 10000, 15000 or 20000 kilohertz. If the sig-
nal is not strong enough to activate auto-time-set, see
the owner’s manual to set the time manually.
