If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the
WWVB tower does not appear at all, then please take note of
the following:
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like
computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 6 feet (2
meters).
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements,
superstructures), the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close
to a window and/ or point its front or back towards the
Fort Collins, Colorado, transmitter.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are
usually less severe and reception is possible in most
cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the
accuracy deviation below 1 second.
Note: In case the solar atomic clock is not able to detect the
WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the
time can be manually set (please refer to notes on Manual time
setting).
