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. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.  We suggest a name-brand Alkaline battery.  A minimum voltage of 1.

TIME IS INCORRECT  Indicative of non-receipt of WWVB signal  Electrical storms between you and Colorado can interfere with the WWVB signal  Replace battery and perform restart procedure. Allow up to 5 days to receive a signal.  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.

 Opening the clock or movement voids the warranty. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME  Dependent on your location, the position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to occur.  Check that the DST selector bar is in the ON position.  Check for fresh batteries. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time picking up the signal.

 Check to see if the hands may be bent.  Movement may need replacement. POSITION THE CLOCK  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.
