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

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2
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.
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.
Multifunctional Wall Clock Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the Multifunctional Wall Clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and
often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove batteries from the wall clock.
2. Press one of the buttons on the wall clock at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the wall clock is blank before proceeding
4. Leave without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert fresh Alkaline batteries into the wall clock.
6. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
Atomic Wall Clock
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 Multifunctional Wall Clock offers seven time zones:
AST=Atlantic
EST= Eastern
CST= Central
MST= Mountain
PST= Pacific
AKT= Alaska
HAT=Hawaiian
The Multifunctional Wall Clock works in North America. Outside of North America, the Multifunctional Wall
Clock will not receive a WWVB signal, but will keep time like a quartz clock.
Does the clock have a backlight?
No this clock does not have a backlight.
Time is off by hours
Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the atomic wall clock. If not, the Multifunctional
Wall Clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.
Reposition the Multifunctional Wall 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.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 3
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 wall 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 Multifunctional Wall 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.
