1. The ON digit will start flashing on LCD1. Set the DST
ON or OFF by pressing the + key.
2. Press the SET key to enter the “Language Setting“.
Note:
The DST default is “ON”, meaning that the WWVB will
automatically change the time according to Daylight
Saving Time in the spring and fall. For areas that do not
recognize DST changes (Arizona and parts of Indiana)
turn the DST “OFF”.
LANGUAGE SETTING
The weekdays can be displayed in LCD1 with the pre-
set languages: US English, French and Spanish.
1. Set the desired language for the weekday display in
LCD 2 by use of the + key.
2. Press the SET key to enter the mode “Manual Time
Setting”.
MANUAL TIME SETTING
In case the Skyscan Atomic Clock is not able to detect
the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance,
etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will then
work as a normal Quartz clock.
Note:
In 12 hours mode the time will be displayed with an
additional “PM” for the time from 12:00 noon until
11:59.
1. The hour digits will start flashing on LCD1. Set the
desired hours by pressing the + key followed by
pressing the SET key.
2. Now the minute digits will start flashing. Set the
desired minutes by pressing the + key . If the + key
is held, the units will increase by 5.
3. Press the SET key to move to the “Year Setting”.
Note:
The unit will still try and receive the signal every day
despite it being manually set. When it does receive the
signal, it will change the manually set time into the
received time. During reception attempts the WWVB
tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful,
then the WWVB tower icon will not appear but reception
will still be attempted the following hour.
WWVB time reception takes place from 12:00 am
through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB reception
every full hour within this time frame). When the time
signal is received for example at 1:00 am, the Skyscan
Atomic Clock will not attempt to receive the WWVB
signal for the remaining hours until 6:00 am. Therefore,
the next signal attempt will take place between 12:00 am
and 6:00 am the next day. The other times WWVB
reception takes place, are upon setup and after manual
time set exiting mode. Reception is generally not
possible during daylight hours due to the interference of
the sun.
YEAR SETTING
The year can be selected sequentially from 2000 to
2049 and will then start over again (default setting
2000). Only the last 2 digits of the year will be visible on
LCD2 .
1. The year digits will start flashing on LCD1. Select the
desired year by use of the + key.
2. Press the SET key to switch to the “Month Setting”.
MONTH SETTING
1. The month digits on LCD2 will start flashing. Set the
desired month by use of the + key.
2. Press the SET key to move to the mode “Date
Setting”.
DATE SETTING
1. The digits for the date will start flashing on LCD2
(Default setting 1). Set the desired date by use of the
+ key.
Note:
The date can only be set in conjunction with the
selected month. For example, it is not possible to
set the date 30 if the month of February is selected.
2. Press the SET key to enter the “Weekday Setting”.
