If you are not sure if the signal is being received, try powering down the clock (unplug it or remove the batteries), then turn it on again to see if it can synchronize. If step 4 works (sometimes you have to do steps Make sure it isn't disabled if your area observes DST. Insert the required number of batteries into the clock's battery compartment. If the radio controlled clock is in a building with a metal roof, much of the signal will be blocked. <> Objects such as televisions, electric motors and fluorescent lights can interfere with the signal. When working properly, radio controlled clocks always display the correct time, down to the exact second. %%EOF A radio controlled wall clock or "atomic clock" contains an atomic oscillator, a radio, and an antenna that enable the clock to be regularly synchronized with a true atomic clock. Most quartz clocks can keep time to 1 second per day or better, but some will be off by several seconds per day. the Radio-controlled (MSF) clock from default 4 to 12 oclock, Amazon: External Devices and Data Storage, Last few copies, personally inscribed to you are available. in its box for several years, stored somewhere in the house and long forgotten, Contact: KSCU 103.3fm Santa Clara University | 500 El Camino Real, #3207, Santa Clara , CA 95053 408-554-5728. 0000023551 00000 n 1-3 again if it doesnt stop at 12), press the Reset button. <> A lock ( 0000008370 00000 n %PDF-1.4 We do not use cookies for marketing purposes.

In the United States, the signals received by radio controlled clocks originate from NIST Radio Station WWVB, which is located near Fort Collins, Colorado. 0000001671 00000 n In addition to these dates, the signal is likely to be taken off-air for a two-week period during summer each year, though the transmission will be restored overnight whenever possible. However, if your radio clock or receiver isn't working, we suggest: Remember, minutes and seconds are the same in all time zones within the WWVB coverage area; only hours are different. Once your radio controlled clock has decoded the signal from WWVB, it will synchronize its own clock to the message received by radio. We offer a wide range of clock movements to our existing and potential customers. The signal is occasionally taken off-air to allow maintenance work on the masts and antennas at Anthorn Radio Station to be carried out in safety.
