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.
2
Figure One
• 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.
Manual Time Setting Option
You can also manually set the time on your travel alarm by pressing and holding the
“MODE/MIN” button (figure two) on the front of your travel alarm for 3 seconds.
• The time zone abbreviation will appear in
the LCD.
• Press and release the “Snooze” button once.
• The time will now flash in the LCD.
• Press and release the “AL/HR” button to
advance the hours.
• Press and release the “MODE/MIN” button
to advance the minutes.
• Press and release the “Snooze” button 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.
Time Zone Setting
You can select from four U.S. time zones (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific) on
your travel alarm. The time zones are abbreviated with three letters as follows:
Eastern EST
Central CST
Figure Two
Mountain MST
Pacific PST
• Press and hold the “MODE/MIN” button for 3 seconds.
3
• The time zone abbreviation will appear in the LCD.
NOTE: The default (factory) time zone setting is Eastern time zone.
• Press and release the “AL/HR” button to select the desired time zone.
• Press and release the “Snooze” button twice to return to the normal display mode
or wait 20 seconds and the travel alarm will time out and automatically return to
the normal display mode.
Daylight Saving Time Setting
You can select whether or not your alarm recognizes the daylight saving time changes
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 hold the “MODE/MIN” button for 3 seconds.
• 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 to the normal display mode
or wait 20 seconds and the travel alarm will time out and automatically return to
the normal display mode.
Display Mode Setting
The display below the time can be switched between showing the seconds and the alarm
time. To switch between these two modes press and release the “MODE/MIN” button.
Setting the Alarm
To set the alarm press and hold the “AL/HR” button for three seconds.
• The alarm time will flash in the bottom left of the LCD screen.
• Press and release the “AL/HR” button to advance to the desired hour.
• Press and release the “MODE/MIN” button to advance to the desired minute.
• Press and release the “Snooze” button to return to the normal display mode or
wait 20 seconds and the travel alarm will time out and automatically return to the
normal display mode.
Operating the Alarm and Snooze
To turn the alarm on press and release the “AL/HR” button. The alarm icon will be
displayed in the lower right of the LCD to indicate that the alarm has been turned on.
4
The alarm will sound for 100 seconds once activated. By pressing the snooze button the
alarm will be suspended for 8 minutes.
Operation of the snooze function can be done in two ways:
• 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).
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.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage
to the unit.
• Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
• Do not submerge in water.
• Do not subject the units to unnecessary heat or cold by placing them in the oven
or freezer.
• Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.
Contact La Crosse Technology repairs.
