Atomic Clock Feature (Not available in HI and AK)
The atomic clock receives time signals on long wave
radio (60 kHz) from the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) radio station WWVB, located in
Fort Collins, Colorado, which is coupled with the atomic
cesium clock in Boulder; no other time-code signal is
supported. The PIX-75 receives the WWVB time signal
via its built-in antenna system. Your clock will try to find the signal
continuously if this feature is enabled.
When the clock is powered on, the time is changed, or the Reset button is
pressed, the clock receiver is enabled to acquire the Atomic Time
Synchronization signal, and the indicator will display the triangle tower
symbol. Once the correct minutes and seconds [time] is received the curved
wave symbol will be displayed with the tower.
If your PIX-75 is located in an area that cannot receive the Atomic time
signal, DO NOT be concerned, since the PIX-75 is able to accurately keep the
time using its quartz mechanism (plus or minus three (3) seconds per
week).
