   • Use the + or other navigation buttons to select your time zone (AST, EST, CST, MST, PST, AKST, HST).

Troubleshooting

• Clock not syncing to atomic time: Ensure the correct time zone is set and WWVB is enabled. Place the clock near a window overnight, away from major electronic interference.
• Buttons do not work: The buttons are disabled while the clock is actively receiving the WWVB signal. Wait for the reception cycle to complete.
• Incorrect time after power outage: The clock should revert to the correct time once power is restored and it can receive the WWVB signal. Ensure backup batteries are installed to maintain settings.
• Display is too bright/dim: Press the light/dimmer button on top of the unit to adjust the brightness level.
