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. However, the environment the

batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.

We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.

A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.

Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier

than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.

Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio

frequency) interference from the battery compartment.

Set Time Zone

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2

This atomic wall clock offers seven time zones:

The atomic wall clock works in North America. Outside of North America, the atomic wall clock

will not receive a WWVB signal, but will keep time like a quartz clock.

Atomic Wall clock Factory Restart

Explanation: The factory restart returns the atomic wall clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and

often resolves an issue.

Factory Restart:

1. Remove all power from the wall clock.

2. Press one of the buttons on the wall clock at least 20 times to clear all memory.

3. Verify that the wall clock is blank

4. Leave without power for 15 minutes (very important).

5. Insert fresh batteries into the wall clock.

6. Do not press buttons for 5 minutes.

Fahrenheit/Celsius

Press and release the SET °F/°C button to switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit

to Celsius.

Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove power from the wall clock.

Press any button 20 times. Leave the wall clock unpowered for 1-2 hours.

Install fresh Alkaline batteries with correct polarity.

If the indoor temperature is, still contact support with the indoor temperature reading and the

reading of the comparative product.

Does the clock have a backlight?

No the wall clock does not have a backlight.

Time is off by hours

Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the atomic wall clock. If not, the atomic

wall clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.

Reposition the atomic wall clock with the front or back facing Colorado.

Check that the Time Zone selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the time zone in

the Program Menu.

Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (most areas observe DST so this

should be ON). Adjust the DST indicator in the Program Menu.

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.

Daylight Saving Time

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 3

Dependent on your location, 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 for a WWVB Tower Icon showing on the atomic wall clock. The tower icon indicates

you have received the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the past 24 hours.

Check that the clock is in the correct Time Zone.

Check whether the DST indicator is ON or OFF. If the indicator is OFF the clock will not

change.

Check for fresh batteries. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a harder time

picking up the signal.

Position the atomic wall clock in a window (with the front or back) facing Ft. Collins,

Colorado and leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this direction,

position the clock near an outside wall and point the unit in this general direction.

Manually Set Time/Date: Program Menu

The SET °F/°C button will move through the program menu. The UP or DOWN buttons will

change a value.

WWVB ON/OFF: WWVB and the word ON will flash. Press and release the UP or DOWN

buttons to change to OFF. Confirm with the SET °F/°C button and move to the next item.

hour. Confirm with the SET °F/°C button and move to the next item.

MINUTES: The minutes will flash. Press and release the UP or DOWN buttons to select the

correct minutes. Confirm with the SET °F/°C button and move to the next item.

YEAR: The year will flash. Press and release +or -buttons to select the correct year.

Confirm with the SET °F/°C button and move to the next item.

MONTH: The month will flash. Press and release the UP or DOWN buttons to select the

Atomic Wall clock has distorted or frozen display

Explanation: On a brand new wall clock, check for thin plastic film of printed scratch guard

that may be on the screen of the wall clock. This thin piece of plastic has printed numbers for

store displays. When the batteries are installed, the “real” numbers show behind the printed

scratch guard and create distortion.

With all power removed, the wall clock should be blank.

If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.

Power:

Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

This is generally a power related issue.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered.

Remove batteries from wall clock.

Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.

Insert and batteries into the wall clock.

Atomic Wall clock is blank: No letters, numbers or dashed lines

Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered.

Remove batteries from wall clock.

Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.

Atomic Wall clock drains batteries quickly

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the

batteries.

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in

determining the problem.

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the wall clock.
