OVERVIEW OF FEATURES
About the Atomic Clock
A clock is considered atomic if it has an accuracy of one second in a million years. Consumer clocks are considered atomic if they attain this accuracy by receiving a signal from an atomic clock. In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via the the radio station WWVB. The signal is transmitted in a very low frequency (60,000 Hz). The Acurite clock you have purchased includes a built-in receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB station. For the best possible reception, place the main unit with the back side facing Colorado.
NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Most synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when there is less interference.
