Daylight Saving Time

The National Institute of Standards and

Technology and WWVB encode a special DST

“bit” in the WWVB transmission for DST.

Your La Crosse Technology® clock will read

this information (only if "DST" is set to "on" -)

and automatically advance the time one hour in

the spring and back an hour in the fall.

Arizona: If you live in an area that does not

recognize DST you must de-activate Daylight

Saving Time by setting "DST" to "oF"

Setting the Time Zone

Press the “▲” button to set the correct time

zone. It will toggle the clock mode through the

four available time zones in the Continental

U.S. Above the seconds digits, the LCD display

will indicate "P" for Pacific, "M" for Mountain,

"C" for Central and "E" for Eastern.

After 30 seconds without pressing any button,

the clock switches automatically from set mode

to normal time mode.

Reception of the WWVB Radio signal

The clock must receive the WWVB Radio

Signal to automatically set the time, date and

weekday.

The clock automatically starts the WWVB

signal search after 7 minutes of any restart or

changing of new fresh batteries. The radio

tower icon starts to flash.

At 1:00 am, the clock automatically carries out

the synchronization procedure with the WWVB

signal to correct any deviations to the exact

time. If this synchronization attempt is

unsuccessful (the radio tower icon

disappears from the display), the system will

automatically attempt another synchronization

at the next full one hour. This procedure is

repeated automatically up to total 5 times.

To start manual WWVB signal reception, press

the “WWVB SEARCH“ button. If no signals

received within 7 minutes, then the WWVB

signal search stops (the radio tower icon

disappears) and will start again at the next full

one-hour.

To cancel RC reception and stop searching for

the WWVB radio signal, press the “WWVB

SEARCH“ button once. The radio tower icon

will disappear.

About WWVB Radio Signal Reception

A flashing radio tower icon indicates that the

WWVB signal reception has started.

A continuously displayed radio tower icon

indicates that the WWVB signal was received

successfully during the last attempt. If the

clock attempts to receive the WWVB signal and

is unsuccessful, the tower icon will not be

continuously displayed on the LCD.

We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5

meters (8 feet) to all sources of interference,

such as televisions or computer monitors

Page 8 of 12

Radio reception is weaker in rooms with

concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In

such environments, place the system close to

the window.

Care and Maintenance

Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock

should be avoided as these may cause

damage to the unit and give inaccurate

readings.

Precautions shall be taken when handling the

batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage

may be resulted if the batteries are in contact

with conducting materials, heat, corrosive

materials or explosives. The batteries shall be

taken out from the unit before the product is to

be stored for a long period of time.

Immediately remove all low powered batteries

to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only

with new batteries of the recommended type.

When cleaning the display and casings, use a

soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or

scouring agents as they may mark the LCD

and casings.

Do not submerge the unit in water.

Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the

units are adequately protected against

moisture and rain.

Special care shall be taken when handling a

damaged LCD display. The liquid crystals can

be harmful to user's health.

Do not make any repair attempts to the unit.

Return them to their original point of purchase

for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and

tampering with the unit may invalidate their

guarantee.

Never touch the exposed electronic circuit of

the device as there is a danger of electric

shock should it become exposed.

Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden

temperature changes, this may lead to reduce

their accuracy.

Batteries are the single largest cause of

customer support cases. Please use plain

Alkaline batteries testing no less than 1.48 on

a voltmeter or with and expiration date 7 years

in the future.

Battery Replacement

If you notice that the LCD appears faint or that

WWVB time reception is not working properly,

try a fresh set of batteries before contacting

customer support.

We recommend that you replace the

batteries in all units regularly to

ensure optimum accuracy of these

units. Please see the battery life in

the specifications below.

Do not mix old and new batteries

Do not mix alkaline, standard, or

rechargeable batteries.

Help us to keep our environment clean. Return

used batteries to an authorized depot.

Troubleshooting

Visit www.lacrossetechnology.com/8008 for

additional information on troubleshooting.

If the clock receives a clear signal it will set itself

perfectly. If it does not receive a signal consider

the following:

Battery - The La Crosse Technology® clock

must have a fresh battery to receive and

process the time signal.

Location - Try a different location, ideally near

a window. It should be at least six feet from

computers, TVs, air conditioners, other Radio-

Page 10 of 12

Controlled clocks and other electrical

appliances that cause interference.

Weather - Electrical storms between you and

Colorado during the night will interfere with the

WWVB signal. Although we cannot control the

weather we can help you predict it (see

www.lacrossetechnology.com).
