How do I adjust the Temperature or Humidity? ............................................................................... 5 BATTERIES Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved, and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage.

• • • Reposition the atomic clock with the front or back facing Colorado. Try a different location, ideally near a window. The clock should be at least six feet from computers, TVs, air conditioners, other atomic clocks and other electrical appliances that cause interference. Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical and/or radio equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal.

IS THERE A BOOSTER ANTENNA TO RECEIVE THE WWVB SIGNAL IN A DIFFICULT LOCATION? • • No, the clock cannot work with a booster antenna. Opening the clock or movement voids the warranty. CAN I WIRE A CONTROL TIMING CIRCUIT TO THE LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY ® ATOMIC CLOCK? • • No, the clock cannot work on a timing circuit. Opening the clock voids the warranty. WHY DO THE HANDS SPIN ONCE OR TWICE EVERYDAY? • • • When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the time.

This La Crosse Technology® atomic clock is designed for indoor or outdoor use. INDOOR: Select a location to place the radio-controlled clock where it will be at least six feet away from a TV, computer, air conditioner or other household electrical appliances. The optimal location is near a window. Windows facing Colorado provide the best signal.
