MY PCR191W DID NOT RECEIVE ATOMIC TIME SIGNAL DURING INITIAL SETUP. HOW CAN
THIS BE FIXED?
Please consider the following when atomic time is not set during the initial setup:
• During night-time hours, atmospheric conditions improve radio signal reception. A single daily
reception is sufficient enough to keep the clock accuracy within milliseconds.
• Unit should be positioned 8 feet (2 meters) from interference sources such as a TV, computer,
microwave, etc.
• The signal reception is weakened within concrete walls found in basements or office buildings.
Place the unit near the window for best reception.
Once the atomic time signal is received, the date and time will be set automatically, and the atomic
time reception icon will appear.
Your unit’s atomic clock is programmed to search for the atomic time signal daily each hour
between 1:00 am and 4:30 am. Once the time signal has been successfully received, the time and
date will be updated automatically.
Usually Atomic Time Signal is picked up overnight, but in some cases it may take up to 72 hours.
