ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)

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 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 Moon Phase Clock.

However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during

daylight hours. The Moon Phase 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. This Moon Phase Clock regulates the

WWVB transmitter. For more information about WWVB please see the NIST website at

http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

1) Insert two fresh AA batteries into the moon phase clock.

2) Wait 10 minutes for WWVB reception.

3) If there is no WWVB reception, manually set the time and date (see

instructions in the Program Mode section).

4) Program the settings.

5) Mount the WS-8007U in a suitable location where WWVB signals can be

received.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

I) BATTERY INSTALLATION

Note: To avoid start-up problems make

sure that the batteries do not spring

free.

Battery Compartment

Battery Cover

A) MOON PHASE CLOCK

1) Remove the battery cover, located on the backside of the moon phase clock

and directly below the function buttons.

2) Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.

3) Replace the battery cover.

Note: After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and all the

LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Display) will briefly light up. Then the indoor

temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the weekday as “MON”, and the Moon

Phase will be displayed. Also, the time will appear as “-:--” for

approximately 1 minute. Then the WWVB search is automatically initiated,

and a tower icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon

will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected). While the WWVB

search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display.

The numbers “0”, “1”, or “8” will appear in the hour position and the

seconds will appear in the minute display. The moon phase clock will either

display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search after 10 minutes if the

time is not found. When the search is cancelled “-:--”will appear in the

time LCD. The moon phase clock will conduct a WWVB search every hour

until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is

automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at

midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place

every hour (up to 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal

is found during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will

search again at 12:00 am the next night.

PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode hold down the “SET” button for 2 seconds until “-5EST”

flashes in the Date LCD. Press and release the “SNZ” button at any time to exit the

Program Mode, or wait approximately 15 seconds for the moon phase clock to

automatically return to normal operation.

III) MOON PHASE

The Moon Phases, and their corresponding dates appear in the Date LCD. There are

8 visible Moon Phases that will show in the Date LCD:

The moon phase clock is programmed with all moon phases and corresponding dates

from the year 2000 until 2019.

IV) INDOOR TEMPERATURE

The Indoor Temperature appears on the right side of the Date LCD. The temperature is

checked every 10 seconds, and updated whenever there is a change.

MOUNTING

There are two possible ways to mount the moon phase clock:

use of the foldout table stands, or

•wall mounting.

I) FOLDOUT TABLE STANDS

The Foldout table stand legs are located on the backside,

at the lower corners, and on both sides of the battery

cover. The hinges are towards the edges of the moon

phase clock, and the ends (with no hinge) need to be

folded out towards the edge. Once the foldout table

stands are extended, place the moon phase clock in an

appropriate location.

II) WALL MOUNTING

1) Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 3-

15/16 of an inch (100.58mm) three screw

positions on a wall.

2) Install three mounting screws (not included) into

a wall within transmission range—leaving

approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended

from the wall.

Place the moon phase clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the

backside. Gently pull the moon phase clock down to lock the screws into

place.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

•Extreme temperatures, vibrations, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to

the units.

•Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring

agents—they may mark and damage the displays and casings.

•Do not submerge in water.

•Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.

Replace with new batteries only, and of recommended size.

•Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the units. Contact

La Crosse Technology for Repairs.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: The LCD is faint.

Solution: Replace the batteries.

Problem: “OFL” appears in the LCD.

Solution: Move unit to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding

temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside

measuring range.

Problem: No reception of WWVB signal.

Solution: 1) It may help reception to face the front of the Moon Phase

Clock in the general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.

2) Wait overnight for signal.

3) Be sure the Moon Phase Clock is at least 6 feet from any

electrical devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio

controlled clocks.

4) Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit

overnight without pressing and releasing buttons.

5) If problems persist contact La Crosse Technology.

Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).

Solution: Be sure correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected.

Problem: Moon phase is incorrect.

Solution: 1) Check the calendar data.
