PREPARATION
AUTOMATIC TIME/DATE
SETTING
The ACR-326 checks the WWVB time
signal four times a day, at midnight, 6
AM, noon, and 6 PM. When the clock re-
ceives a good signal, it automatically
sets the time and date. You can obtain
more information about WWVB on the
World Wide Web at:
www.bldrdoc.gov/timefreq/wwvstatus.htm
You can also set the ACR-326 manually.
See “Manually Setting the Clock” on
Page 8.
Setting Up the Antenna
To ensure good reception, fully extend
the antenna bar’s cable away from the
clock and as near a window as possible.
After you have found the best location for
reception, attach the antenna bar to a
window or to a wall using the appropriate
hardware or double-sided tape (neither
supplied).
Note:
Do not place the clock near a TV,
high power cable, or metal table, be-
cause these items could interfere with ra-
dio signal reception.

standard AC outlet and have positioned

count-up cycle finishes, then secure the
antenna to the selected location. See
“Setting Up the Antenna”.
