Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage. Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries.
Batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in
the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage
longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years
can deplete the power.
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper
performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries
dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in
performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF
(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
Digital Clock Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the digital clock to an “out-of-the-box”
state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all batteries from the digital clock.
2. Press one of the buttons on the digital clock at least 20 times to clear all
memory.
3. Verify that the digital clock is blank before proceeding (some lines are painted
on and will not disappear).
4. Leave without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert fresh Alkaline batteries into the digital clock.
6. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
Fahrenheit/Celsius
Use the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display.
12-Hour or 24-Hour Time Format
Display the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format
Default is 12-hour time
Use the Program Menu to switch time formats
Supported Time Zones
This clock has 7 Time Zones: AST = Atlantic, EST =Eastern, CST =Central,
MST =Mountain, PST = Pacific, AKT = Alaska & HAT = Hawaii
The digital clock works in North America.
Outside of North America, the digital clock will not receive a WWVB signal, but
will keep time like a quartz clock.
How do I change Language?
This clock will display weekday and month in English or Spanish.
Use the Program Menu to select language
Does the clock have a backlight?
No, as this clock is battery operated there is no backlight.
Time is off by hours
Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the atomic digital clock. If not,
the digital clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.
Reposition the digital clock with the front or back facing Colorado.
La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 3
Check that the Time Zone selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the
time zone in the Program Menu.
Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (On this clock, please
change the DST setting to OFF unless you live in Arizona). Adjust the DST
indicator in the Program Menu.
Large buildings, metal roofed buildings and buildings or rooms full of electrical
and/or radio equipment make it difficult to receive the WWVB time signal.
Daylight Saving Time
Dependent on your location, position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric
interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings
Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to occur.
Check for a WWVB Tower Icon showing on the atomic digital clock. The tower
icon indicates you have received the WWVB signal from Ft Collins CO in the past
24 hours.
Check that the clock is in the correct Time Zone.
Check whether the DST indicator is ON or OFF. On this clock, please change the
DST setting to OFF unless you live in Arizona.
Check for fresh batteries. Without proper batteries, the antenna will have a
harder time picking up the signal.
Position the digital clock in a window (with the front or back) facing Ft. Collins,
Colorado and leave for up to five nights. If you do not have a window facing this
direction, position the clock near an outside wall and point the unit in this
general direction.

Digital clock has distorted or frozen display
Explanation: On a brand new digital clock, check for thin plastic film of printed
scratch guard that may be on the screen of the digital clock. This thin piece of
plastic has printed numbers for store displays. When the batteries are installed, the
“real” numbers show behind the printed scratch guard and create distortion.
With all power removed, the digital clock should be blank.
If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.
Power:
Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
This is generally a power related issue.
Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered.
Remove batteries from digital clock.
Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.
Insert batteries into the digital clock.
Digital clock is blank: No letters, numbers or dashed lines
Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered.
Remove batteries from digital clock.
Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.
Insert batteries into the digital clock.
Day of the week is incorrect.
Check the year setting in the program menu.
The day of the week sets automatically based on the setting of the year, month
and date.
Digital clock drains batteries quickly
Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the
voltage of the batteries.
When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in
determining the problem.
Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the digital clock.
Digital clock has missing segments
Explanation: When parts of numbers, letters, or pictures are missing on the
display, it is often power related.
With all power removed, the digital clock should be blank.
If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.
