TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or
phone, or visit our website, www.lacrossetechnology.com
Problem: The time and date will not set initially.
Solution: It usually takes overnight before the clock can receive the signal due to the
interference the sun has on the WWVB signal. Wait overnight for the signal.
Solution: Computer monitors and televisions can cause interference with the signal
reception. Please keep the clock at least six feet from electrical sources.
Solution: In some areas of the US, in particular on the East and West coasts, the signal is
very weak. It may take up to 72 hours before a good signal is received. The
reception can be helped by placing the clock in a window facing Colorado,
with the back towards Colorado.
