ABOUT RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME - WWVB
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency
Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact
time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can
be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the alarm clock. Due
to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours.
The alarm clock will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB
radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A
team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an
accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an
international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133
atom in a vacuum. More information on the atomic clock and WWVB can be found at
www.nist.gov
.
PROGRAM MODE
Following is a list of steps to set up your new La Crosse Technology travel alarm clock.
•Please begin by removing the battery
cover on the rear of the travel alarm
shown in figure one.
•Next insert one AA alkaline battery
into the battery compartment making
sure to observe the correct polarity.
•When inserting the battery be sure not
to press any of the buttons on the
travel alarm as this will interrupt the
WWVB search and may cause the
travel alarm to not pick up the radio-controlled time signal.
•Now replace the battery cover and face the travel alarm with the back of the unit
towards Colorado (this has been found to help the unit pick up the WWVB
signal).
•When the WWVB signal is received a tower icon will appear on the left side of
the LCD display.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the WWVB signal it may take overnight for the travel alarm
to receive the signal and set. Adverse weather conditions may also affect the travel
alarms’ ability to receive the signal. In some cases it may take several nights for the
travel alarm to set.
Time Zone and DST (Daylight Saving Time) Setting

twice a year and automatically changes. Some areas do not change time for daylight
saving time (Arizona and parts of Indiana). The default (factory) setting is daylight
saving time on.
•Press and release the “AL/HR” button to select the desired time zone.
•The time zone abbreviation will appear in the LCD.
•“DST” will be displayed to the left of the time zone abbreviation.
•Press and release the “MODE/MIN” button to toggle between daylight saving
time on and off.
•Press and release the “Snooze” button twice to return the normal display mode or
wait 20 seconds and the travel alarm will time out and automatically return to the
normal display mode.

•Press and release the “SNOOZE” button on the front of the travel alarm.
•With the travel alarm resting open on a flat surface, by gently pushing back on the
top of the alarm.
NOTE: This movement causes the opened lid to activate a second snooze button which
is located on the bottom of the travel alarm (it can be seen just below the battery
compartment).

wait 20 seconds and the travel alarm will automatically return to the normal
display mode.
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.
