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.

A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper

performance.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2

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

Press the ºF/ºC button to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

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 4 Time Zones: E=Eastern, C=Central, M=Mountain & P= Pacific

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.

Dashes, OFL or Stuck Indoor Temperature

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is

outside of its readable range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related

issue.

This is generally a power related issue.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from atomic

digital clock.

Press any button 20 times. Leave the digital clock unpowered for 1-2 hours.

Insert fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.

If the indoor temperature is still dashes or OFL, the digital clock may need

replacement.

Does the clock have a backlight?

No, as this clock is battery operated there is no backlight.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 3

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.

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 (most areas observe

DST so this should be ON). 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. If the indicator is OFF the clock

will not change.

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.
