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 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.

Atomic Digital Clock Factory Restart

Explanation: The factory restart returns the Atomic Digital Wall Clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and often

resolves an issue.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2

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

Slide the time zone selector bar on the back of the clock to choose the time zone for your area.

This Atomic Digital Wall Clock offers four time zones:

EST= Eastern

CST= Central

MST= Mountain

PST= Pacific

The Atomic Digital Wall Clock works in North America. Outside of North America, the Atomic Digital Wall Clock

will not receive a WWVB signal, but will keep time like a quartz clock.

Time is off by hours

Check to see if the WWVB Tower icon appears on the atomic wall clock. If not, the Atomic Digital Wall

Clock has not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24 hours.

Reposition the Atomic Digital Wall Clock with the front or back facing Colorado.

Check that the Time Zone selected correctly reflects your location.

Check that the DST indicator is correct for your location (most areas observe DST so this should be ON).

Adjust the DST indicator with the DST/- button.

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.

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 Atomic Digital 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.

Atomic Digital Wall Clock is dim

Explanation: Most wall clocks have a gray background. Place the wall clock at eye level, to determine if it is

dim. Wall clocks that sit in the sunlight can develop a cloudy film over time.

Atomic Digital Wall Clock has distorted or frozen display

Explanation: On a brand new wall clock, check for thin plastic film of printed scratch guard that may be on

the screen of the wall clock. This thin piece of plastic has printed numbers for store displays. When the

batteries are installed, the “real” numbers show behind the printed scratch guard and create distortion.

With all power removed, the wall clock should be blank.

If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.

Power:

Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

This is generally a power related issue.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered.

Remove batteries from wall clock.

Press any button 20 times. Leave the batteries out of the display for 2 hours.
