1. Forecast station However due to the nature of the Earth s lonosphere reception is very limited during daylight hours The Forecast 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 measures 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 atomic clock regulates the WWYVB transmitter WWVB RECEPTION ICON with full signal strength will appear on screen in front of the date when A the reception of time is successful The tower icon will show solid when the Forecast station has received the WWVB signal No tower icon is shown The Forecast station was unable to receive a signal at this time Reposition the Forecast station for better signal reception or try again at bedtime The Forecast station will start searching at UTC 07 00 and if no reception on the first attempt they will try again at 08 00 09 00 and 10 00 Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10 minutes If there is no signal or too much interference the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes If the signal is good it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2 3 minutes If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes IMPORTANT W2. examined which is not in need or repair you will be charged for the repairs or examination The owner must pay any shipping charges incurred in getting the La Crosse Technology Ltd product to a La Crosse Technology Ltd authorized service center La Crosse Technology Ltd will pay ground return shipping charges to the owner of the product to a USA address only The La Crosse Technology Ltd warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship with the following specified exceptions 1 damage caused by accident unreasonable use or neglect including the lack of reasonable and necessary maintenance 2 damage occurring during shipment claims must be presented to the carrier 3 damage to or deterioration of any accessory or decorative surface 4 damage resulting from failure to follow instructions contained in the owner s manual 5 damage resulting from the performance of repairs or alterations by someone other than an authorized La Crosse Technology Ltd authorized service center 6 units used for other than home use 7 applications and uses that this product was not intended or 8 the products inability to receive a signal due to any source of interference This warranty covers only actual defects within the product itself and does not cover the cost of installation or removal from a fixed installation normal set up or adjustments claims based on misrepresentation by the seller or performance variations resulting from installatio
