The WWVB station continuously broadcasts a high-precision time signal via a 60 kHz carrier frequency.
: It is often best to install batteries late in the evening when long-wave radio signals are strongest. Automatic Synchronization
Avoid setting up the clock near heavy electronic appliances like televisions, microwave ovens, or computer monitors, as these can interfere with the radio signal. Step 2: Battery Installation kincaid radio controlled clock instruction manual
Thank you for choosing the Kincaid Radio Controlled Clock. Your clock is equipped with a built-in receiver that synchronizes automatically with the official atomic time signal. This ensures your clock is always accurate to the second, automatically adjusting for Daylight Saving Time (DST) and leap years.
after setting. It will resume normal ticking and continue searching for the radio signal in the background. 4. Understanding the Signal Strength Indicator Step 2: Battery Installation Thank you for choosing
The display will show a default time (often 12:00 AM) and a flashing radio tower/wave icon. Step 4: Signal Acquisition (The Waiting Period)
To avoid needing this instruction manual again: after setting
If your clock is exactly one or more hours off but the minutes are perfectly accurate, the radio receiver is working, but your settings are incorrect.
A: It receives a long-wave radio signal (60kHz) from the NIST atomic clock in Fort Collins, CO. This signal contains a time code that the clock decodes.
