Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What do I do if my display is blank?

A: Check the polarity on your batteries to make sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery comparTMent. Also make sure that you are using a new good quality alkaline battery.

Q: How do I change the way the date is displayed?

A: Press and release the + button to change your display options.

Q: How does the moon phase work?

A: The segments that are highlighted will portray the part of the moon that is lit. For instance, the moon will be blank during a new moon and dark during a full moon. This is set by the tower in Ft. Collins and therefore needs a signal in order to read accurately. The Moon on the clock has only 4 segments to show all 28 days in a lunar month. This may cause the moon phase feature to be off by a few hours. For example a full moon may not show on the exact hour that your calendar may say the full moon is.

Q: Why is my time incorrect or not displaying at all?

A: 

1. If you have not yet installed the batteries or plugged in the clock and it shows a time, remove the scratch-guard from the LCD panel.
   
2. This clock receives a signal from Ft. Collins, Colorado (WWVB) to set the clock to atomic time. Sometimes, due to adverse weather or aTMospheric conditions you will not be able to receive a signal immediately. The best way to get a signal is to put your clock in a window facing Colorado until you see the tower icon appear.
   
3. If your time is off by an increment of 1 hour, change your time zone to match your location.
