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 and Indiana: If you live in an area that 
does not recognize DST you must de-activate 
Daylight Saving Time by setting "DST" to 
"OFF" 
See "Set Daylight Saving Time ON/OFF" on 
page 6 for instructions.
