ABOUT WWVB
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and
Technology—Time and Frequency Division) radio station,
WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the exact
time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz.
The signal can be received up to 2 000 miles away through the
internal antenna in the weather station. However, due to the nature
of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight
hours. The weather station will search for a signal every night
when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal
from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of
atomic physicists continually measure every second of every day
to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These physicists
have created an international standard, measuring a second as
9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. This
weather station regulates the WWVB sensor.

SET-UP GUIDE
1. Have the weather station and remote sensor 3 to 5 feet
apart.
2. Batteries out of both units for at least 10 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote sensor FIRST then
place batteries into the weather station NEXT.
(All remote sensors must be started before the weather station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES
In this time the weather station and sensor will start to talk to each
other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an
outdoor temperature ALTERNATELY. If the weather station does
not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes, Please retry the
start up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor
temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your
remote sensor outdoors and set your time.
The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The
remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls or objects that the
signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor
wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior
wall would have approximately 20 feet of resistance. Your distance
plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line. For best
results try and keep the remote sensor on an exterior wall of the
room that you have the weather station in.

I. PROGRAM MODE
Programming Note: If 20 seconds is allowed to pass during
programming modes the unit will confirm/set the last information
entered, the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-
date readings.
Function Keys:
NOTE: There are two methods by which the time can be set:
•Automatically via WWVB reception
•Manually (see “C” below)
WWVB (Radio controlled time)
This method requires you to do nothing but wait for
the signal (WWVB) to be received (the unit will set
to the default setting shown on the following page
once the signal is received). This usually will take
place overnight when the WWVB signal is the
strongest. To keep your time accurate the weather
station conducts a WWVB search every night. The
WWVB tower icon (appearing in the time LCD) will
be on when the signal has been received. It is not
uncommon for the signal to not be received every
night, don’t worry the quartz movement will keep
accurate time until the WWVB signal can be received
again.

Manually
This is only necessary if you do not wish to wait for
the WWVB reception. All manual set time and date
settings will be over-ridden by the reception of the
WWVB signal. In most cases all that needs to be set
different from the default (factory) settings is the
time zone (section “D” following) and the pressure
(section “K” following), which must be set to your
current pressure.

A. SETTING THE LCD CONTRAST
1. Press and hold the “MODE/SET” button for 5
seconds or until “Lcd 5” flashes in the time Lcd.
2. There are 7 Lcd contrast levels to choose from –
“Lcd 1” is the lightest and “Lcd 7” is the darkest.
3. Press the “CH/+” button to toggle through to your
desired setting.
4. Press the “MODE/SET” button to confirm and
advance to 12/24 hour time setting.

B. 12 OR 24 HOUR TIME SETTING
1. “12h” will be flashing in the time LCD.
2. Press and release the “CH/+” button to toggle
between 12h (AM/PM) and 24h (military time).
Note: in 12h mode “PM” will appear to the left of the time during
the PM hours. If the time is not within the PM hour nothing will
be displayed.
3. Press the “MODE/SET” button to confirm and
advance to the hour/ minute setting.
C. SETTING THE HOUR AND MINUTES
1. The digit representing the hour should be flashing.
2. Press and release the “CH/+” button to select the
desired hour.
Note: in 12h mode “PM” will appear to the left of the time during
the PM hours. If the time is not within the PM hour nothing will
be displayed.
3. Press the “MODE/SET” button to confirm the hour
and advance to set the minutes.
4. The digits representing the minutes should be
flashing.
5. Press and release the “CH/+” button to select the

D. TIME ZONE SETTING
1. –5 should be flashing in the time LCD
2. Select your appropriate time zone by pressing and
releasing the “CH/+” button. The time LCD displays
the 3 letter abbreviations for the time zones found in
North America along the very top of the display.
Follow the chart below to find the correct time zone
and the corresponding abbreviations and codes.
GMT 0
Atlantic -4
EST; Eastern -5
CST; Central -6
MST; Mountain -7
PST; Pacific -8
ALA; Alaska -9
HAW; Hawaii -10
Note: There are more time zones represented by number than there
are represented by letters. If you live in North America only the
ones in the chart above will be needed to set the correct time zone
for your location.
