Collins, Colorado and transmits theexact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signalcan be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the WirelessColor Forecast Station. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere,reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Wireless Color Forecast Stationwill search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio stationderives its signal from the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado.WWVB reception icon with full signal strength will appear on screen ifthe reception of atomic time is successful. The tower icon will show solid when the display has received the WWVB signal. No tower icon displayed. The display was unable to receive a signal at this time. Reposition the display for better signal reception or try again at bedtime. The display will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the firstattempt they will try again at 08:00, 09:00 and 10:00. Each attempt will be at least2 minutes and the most will be 10 minutes. If there is no signal or too much interference, the receiver will only be on for 2minutes. If the signal is good, it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes. If the signal is marginal, it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes. IMPORTANT: To avoid interference when operating on A/C power, the backlightand USB charge port will turn off while the forecast station searches for theWWVB signal. The backlight and USB charge port resume after a 2-10 minutesearch which occurs during the late night or early morning hours.Note: In case the forecast station is not able to detect the WWVB-signal(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time may be manually set.Button Press and ReleaseFunctionsHold 3-5 secondsSET Move through program menuConfirm settingEnter program menu, settime, date, etc.ALARM View AlarmActivate/Deactivate AlarmAlarm set+/RCC 1 step forward (setup) Search for WWVB signalFast advance (setup)-/°C/°F Select temperature in °F/°C1 step backward (setup)Fast backward (set)MIN/MAX 1-time MAX values2-times MIN valuesResets all MIN / MAXvaluesHEAT/DEW 1-time Heat Index2-times Dew PointCH Switch channels (multipletransmitters)Search for remotetransmitterLIGHT HI/LOHOLD ON/OFFDim backlight for night time.
