Trouble Shooting  
If the WWVB tower icon flashes, but does not set to the WWVB time signal or the tower icon  
does not appear at all, then please take note of the following:  
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a  
minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.  
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally  
weakened and in extreme cases the signal may not be received. In this case, place the unit  
close to a window so that it faces in the general direction of the Ft. Collins, Colorado  
transmitter  
During daytime high levels of interference from other transmitting sources could prevent the  
WWVB time signal reception. During night-time, atmospheric disturbances are usually less  
severe and reception is possible in most cases  
Note: Even if the time has been set manually the Alarm Clock will still try to receive the signal  
every hour between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. local time. If the time signal data is  
received, it is converted into radio controlled time from atomic clock run by the NIST and  
then be displayed on the LCD. The received time will automatically override the  
manually set time and date. When clock is attempting reception, the tower icon on the  
LCD will start flashing if the WWVB time signal is present. When reception is successful,  
no more radio signal reception will take place during that day. However if reception has  
been unsuccessful, the WWVB tower icon will not appear and reception will be  
attempted the following hour up to 6:00 a.m.  
Care and Maintenance:  
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage  
to the unit and could give inaccurate readings.  
When cleaning the display and casing, use a soft cloth only. Do not use solvents or  
scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casing.  
Do not submerge the unit in water.  
Immediately remove any low powered battery to avoid leakage and damage and replace  
only with a new battery of the recommended size.  
Do attempt to repair a unit. Return it to its original point of purchase for repair by a qualified  
engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate its guarantee  
Do not expose the unit to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid  
changes in readings reducing its accuracy  
Battery Change:  
It is recommended to replace the battery in the Clock on an annual basis to ensure optimum  
running accuracy  
When replacing the battery cover, ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the  
contacts as this may cause start up problems.

Should the low battery icon show on the LCD, the battery will need to be replaced.  
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to  
an authorized depot.
