14” Atomic Wall Clock

Get Started

1: Slide the switch to select a time zone and DST ON or OFF.

2: Insert 1 fresh AA, LR6 1.5 volt ALKALINE battery according to the polarity

marked on the case.

OPTIONAL: To extend battery life (over 3 years), insert two batteries in the

compartment below the movement.

3: For the best reception, please place clock on a wall that faces Ft. Collins,

Colorado. During the night, your clock will automatically set itself.

Note: The hands will move to the 12:00 position and search for the radio signal.

If the radio signal is not received in the first 10 minutes, the clock will start

running from the 12:00 position and will continue to run. Do not attempt to

reset the hands manually even though the time on the clock is incorrect. The

clock is synchronizing to the WWVB signal and once the radio signal is decoded,

the hands will automatically adjust to the correct time. This may take up to 5

nights if there is atmospheric interference.

Position Clock

• Signal reception is at its peak when there is only one wall or window

between the clock and the outside.

• The antenna is best positioned for signal reception when the front or back of

the clock faces Colorado.

• Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones,

wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors,

etc., which can prevent signal reception.

• Large office buildings, schools, or hospitals may not receive the WWVB time

signal in every room.

• Building with a metal roof may interfere with reception. Reset: If the clock does not respond to the various function modes, reset the clock by pressing the RESET button on the movement case. Manual Set Time On rare occasions in certain areas, the clock may not be able to utilize the radio controlled function because of the strength of the signal or the geographic location. In this case, the clock can be set manually and used as a regular quartz wall clock.

Manual WWVB Time Signal Search For information about WWVB, visit: www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwvb.cfm Manual Signal Search: The WWVB signal is strongest at night. • Hold the WAVE button down for 3+ seconds. • The hands will automatically reset to the 12:00 position, and the movement will search for the WWVB time signal from Fort Collins, CO. • If the movement successfully receives the signal, the clock will reset automatically to the correct time. The signal search takes approximately 3-8 minutes.

Q: Is there a version of analog clock with more than the four continental US times zones? A: La Crosse Technology® does not make an analog clock with more than four time zones. These time zones are P (Pacific Time), M (Mountain Time), C Central Time), and E (Eastern Time). Q: Why do the hands spin? A: When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is autocorrecting the time. The hour hand should not spin more than twice around the clock.
