Atomic Clock (RCC)

AcuRite atomic clocks use a radio-controlled signal (RCC) to synchronize to the

correct time broadcast by the National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST) Radio Station WWVB, located near Fort Collins, Colorado. WWVB

broadcasts the current time and date with split-second accuracy.

The atomic clock and calendar will maintain the correct time and date, and

automatically update for Daylight Saving Time to provide the most accurate

timekeeping standard possible.

Please note: Signal reception is normally better at night and when the weather

is clear. The atomic signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so it is

important to manually set the time and date after powering on the clock.

Set the Time & Date

Press and hold the "SET CLOCK" button, located on the side of the clock, to

enter SET MODE. Once in SET MODE the preference you are currently setting

will blink on the clock.

To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the "▲" or

"▼" buttons (press and HOLD to fast adjust).

To save your adjustments, press and release the "SET CLOCK" button to adjust

the next preference. The preference set order is as follows:

TIME ZONE (PST MST CST EST)

AUTO DST ON/OFF*

CALENDAR YEAR

CALENDAR MONTH

CALENDAR DATE

CLOCK HOUR

CLOCK MINUTE

You will automatically exit SET MODE if no buttons are pressed for 45

seconds. Enter SET MODE at any time by pressing AND HOLDING the "SET

CLOCK" button.

* If you live in an area that observes Daylight Saving Time, DST should be

set to ON, even if it is not currently Daylight Saving Time.
