Sets Itself: Atomic Clock
This Sharp Atomic clock automatically synchronizes itself to the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology in Fort Collins, Colorado. The WWVB radio signal daily broadcast ensures that the atomic clock will always display the most accurate date and time.
In most areas, a signal can only be received at night. If your clock does not receive the WWVB signal immediately, just wait overnight and it should be set in the morning. It may take up to 48 hours.
◦ mounting it on a wall perpendicular to the one it is currently on (e.g. if it is on a north-south wall try an east-west wall).
◦ Place the clock along a wall or near a window that faces Fort Collins, Colorado.
◦ Locate the clock at least 6 ft. away from any computer monitors, which can cause interference (some monitors have a scan frequency at or near the WWVB carrier frequency of 60 kHz).
◦ If nothing else works, take the clock outdoors at night and power it down (remove the batteries or unplug it), then power it up again to force it to look for the WWVB signal. If it works outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or building. If it doesn't work outdoors at night, its probably best to return it and try a different model.
The shielding provided by a metal building might prevent the clock from working. For example, if you live in a mobile home or a house with steel siding, the clock might not work.
