3. Now the minute digits will start flashing.
4. Set the desired minutes by pressing and releasing the + key. If the + key is held, the units
will increase by 5.
5. Press and release the SET key to move to the “Year Setting”.
Note: The unit will still try to receive the signal every day despite it being manually set. When it
does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. During
reception attempts the WWVB tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, then
the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB
reception every full hour within this time frame). When the time signal is received for example at
1:00 am, the radio-controlled clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB signal for the
remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore, the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00
am and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB reception takes place, are upon setup
and after manual time set exiting mode. Reception is generally not possible during daylight
hours due to the interference of the sun.

WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is
based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. In areas where the weather is not
affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate.
Weather Icons
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD 2:
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be
sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather
will be rainy).
Alarm icon ((())) (ON)
12
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in
order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny”
directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not
change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
Weather Tendency Arrows
Other possible displays in LCD 2 are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left
side of the forecast) and one that points down (on the right side of the forecast). These arrows
reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure
is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good. An arrow pointing down
indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or
remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable.
OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The temperature is measured and transmitted to the radio-controlled clock every 4 seconds.
The radio-controlled clock will update the temperature display every 20 seconds.
The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when
positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in power during periods of
extreme cold temperatures.
915MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The radio-controlled clock will receive the temperature data within 4 seconds. If the temperature
data is not being received 2 minutes after setting up (or the display shows “- - -”), then please
check the following points:
1. The distance of the radio-controlled clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at
least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or
TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same
signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference.
