User manual LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY 512A-811

[. . . ] Select your time zone by pressing one of the four time zone buttons PT-Pacific Time, MT-Mountain Time, CT-Central Time, ET-Eastern Time. The time zone buttons may be pressed any time after installing the batteries. If multiple buttons are pressed the clock will set to the time zone selected last. If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. [. . . ] If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. Another time zone can be selected during or after the clock has set itself. Your clock can only set itself to one of the four time zones stated above. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement. When the battery is installed the second hand will advance eight seconds (two seconds per step x four steps). The clock is now searching for a signal. For the initial setting it is recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. Within five minutes the clock will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o'clock position and search for WWVB each hour until a signal is received. If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and automatically reset the hands when the signal is received. Arizona and Indiana If you live in an area that does not recognize DST you must press the (unmarked) DST button for one second to deactivate your clock's DST program. To reactivate the DST program simply press the DST button again for one second. A good AA alkaline battery will last over one year. If your clock is located in an area with little interference where it can quickly receive a signal the battery will last much longer than one year. Can a La Crosse Technology clock be used outdoors?Yes, but only in a dry environment and in a temperature range between 41 F and 131 F. Can the La Crosse Technology clock be wired to control timing circuits?Why does the second hand move only once every two seconds, but it moves two seconds per step?When the battery drops below 1. 25 volts the clock indicates that it is time to change the battery by advancing the second hand in two second steps. The operating voltage range is 1. 25 to 1. 75 volts. Warranty La Crosse Technology warrants this clock to be free of any defect in workmanship or materials for a period of one year after the date of purchase.
