Daylight Saving Time
The National Institute of Standards and
Technology and WWVB encode a special DST
“bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST.
Your La Crosse Technology® clock will read
this information (only if "DST" is set to "On")
and automatically advance the time one hour
in the spring and back an hour in the fall.
Arizona and Indiana: If you live in an area that
does not recognize DST you must de-activate
Daylight Saving Time by setting "DST" to
"OFF"
See "Set Daylight Saving Time ON/OFF" on
page 6 for instructions.
