Great instructions provided. I do have a different variation of this clock, but figured it all out. I bought this clock about 5 years ago for my mom after dementia had set in. She was always confused about what day it was. Since I inherited it back, I am keeping it just in case I need it for the same reason one of these days!
Hey old carpenters trick is to place a long piece of masking tape across the holes on the back side of the clock and then trace over the holes with a pencil, peel off the tape and place it on the wall where you want to place the screws or nails and you'll now have your clock or any item in the perfect position
Great Video. Although I did not have this exact model, this video helped me understand how to reset my clock since I have misplaced the instructions. I liked the way the instructor had a calm way of explaining and my clock is all set! Thank you!
Thank you for posting your review of demo of how to set the clock. We have a different model of LaCrossee Tech. Atomic clock, but with your coaching I was FINALLY able to reset it for daylight savings time. Thank you for great instructions and close-up views to select the correct buttons! Made my day!
Awesome great video. I had this clock for several years. The first year it kept great time. After that, it was three hours slow. by using your video. I have the clock set to the right time. I hope it will keep time. I like the clock. Thank you for sharing your video.
Large knots on the ends of a short piece of string can be pushed into the nail/screw holes and then it can be hung from a central point on that string.
I liked this clock so much I bought a second one. Wal-Mart still has them for about $20. I think that's a reasonable price. I just hope NIST keeps their radio transmitter running. They have talked about shutting it down.
It lives on. "WWVB, along with NIST's shortwave time code-and-announcement stations WWV and WWVH, were proposed for defunding and elimination in the 2019 NIST budget. However, the final 2019 NIST budget preserved funding for the three stations." -wiki
I bought it today at my local Walmart by Pittsburgh for $9.00. I had to manual set it, because it didn't pick up the atomic signal which was the whole point of buying it! I have an atomic alarm clock and that picked up the atomic signal. Oh Well for $9.00, I have a stylish digital kitchen clock for a small grey kitchen!
The signal it receives is affected by the time of day and other atmospheric conditions. It will usually get a good signal in the evening hours. The signal comes from Colorado.
I've found the radio controlled clocks have the easiest time smelling WWVB between 2 and 4:30 in the morning. I live in CA so WWVB is about 800 miles away.
I bought this at Wal-Mart 2 or 3 years ago and it is going fine on the original batteries. Rather than putting nails in my camper wall I put two strips of adhesive Velcro on the back of the clock and wall. Anywhere I have been at it will not receive the World Time signal on the wall. I need to take it down in the evening and stand it up in front of a window. I miss it not having a back light but I suppose the batteries would not be lasting so long.
This clock does pickup the WWVB signal in my home at Honolulu, Hawaii, but it has to be right next to a window. I use it as a wall clock in my office. The lack of a display backlight & the location of the snooze button makes this less than ideal as a bedroom alarm clock.
A nice presentation, but not complete: You did not mention what type of WWVB radio signal is received by this LaCrosse clock: Amplitude Modulated, or the new Phase Modulated 60khz signals. This bit of info. is extremely important to people who live in the North or South areas of the of the East Coast (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Florida), where the Colorado signal is weakest, and most of these Amplitude Modulated clocks will NEVER set automatically. Most radio controlled clock dealers don't even know which WWVB receiver is contained in any particular model. Buyer beware.
Great info! I bought this same clock second hand at Goodwill for $3 and did not receive any instructions. The state of Arizona does not participate in the Daylight Savings Time convention. I like receiving the WWVB radio signal correction. Is there a special accommodation for ARIZONA time? Or do I have to turn off DST during the winter months? Or turn off WWVB? Is there any other choice? Please advise, if you know, thanks!
Charley Mar The clock should have two separate settings. One to set your time zone and one to set whether you need DST in your area. Make sure the time zone is right and then turn OFF the DST and you're good to go.
I took the batteries out of the clock waited a few minutes and put them back in the clock, and put the clock in a window facing west, over night it reset it self no buttons to push
I don't understand. Atomic clocks gain/lose about 1 second every 135 million years. Why would you want your atomic clock to radio check it's time a few times a day?
midway222 These are not atomic clocks. They are radio clocks that sync with atomic clocks. The real atomic clock that the government uses for civilian time is located in Colorado (and takes up an entire room). The guys who operate that clock have a radio transmitter that sends out the correct time to all clocks in North America with radio receivers. The government does this as a free service to help civilians keep accurate time. It's not all that important for average people, but can be very important for TV, radio stations, and cellular phone companies who need highly accurate time for syncing their radio frequencies. Without atomic clocks with nanosecond precision, modern radio, TV, Internet, and cell phones wouldn't work at all. You need highly accurate clocks so the sender and receiver are perfectly in sync. However, these days most TV, radio, mobile phone companies keep their clocks synced by using GPS. It is more reliable than terrestrial radio and can be more accurate (since GPS allows path delay corrections). What they do is buy their own highly accurate temperature corrected quartz or ribidium clocks, hook them up to GPS and check them periodically against the GPS clocks to ensure they stay in sync. This allows their clocks to run with microsecond accuracy (perhaps even to nanosecond accuracy in more expensive setups). Every GPS satellite in orbit has 4 atomic clocks on board and those clocks are checked against the NIST clocks on earth and corrected for relativistic effects. Once the corrections are done, a GPS atomic clock runs to within 10 nanoseconds of NIST time. This is good enough to pinpoint your position on earth to within a few meters (military can get to within centimeters). And it's more reliable than NIST's radio signal.
Just woke up and my atomic clock did not set for daylight savings and I have the daylight savings feature turned on thought that was weird had to set it manually for daylight savings oh well still love my clock just figured out had it near my TV that's why it didn't set for daylight savings I'll remember that for when November get here
I have got Seiko radio wave controlled Auto tuning model sq 641S SMNK. it does not have controlling butten wd English but may be China or Japanees. How can I understand to fix changes
No, this clock will sync for all of the US and southern Canada. Make sure the clock is set to accept the time signal, watch this video to see how to do that. If you place the clock near a window on the side of your house closest to Fort Collins Colorado, (for CA that would be the East or NorthEast side) the clock should catch the time signal. to initiate the clock searching for the time signal, press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds, you will see a blinking tower of the display at top right. Also, it catches the signal best at night, at least 4-5 hours after sundown.

Try putting it by a window
I've found the radio controlled clocks have the easiest time smelling WWVB between 2 and 4:30 in the morning. I live in CA so WWVB is about 800 miles away.

Nice review. I bought that clock in 2020.

I didn't think WWVB would carry all the way to HI. It's over 3,000 miles from CO.
Thank you so much, for doing this video it help me alot.
Don't depend on it at night cause you will not see the time
It would be cool if you rig a picture next to it that you just knock over to hit a lever that presses the snooze button.
Thank you.🙏
they are still selling it, am going to get it. thanks

Good website- the directions leave a lot to be desired. We contacted the company, got voicemail and they never called back
nice presentation technology 👍👍👍
I have Model#617-249 & set time ok but cannot get "Alarm" to operate!..Help!! No video on this model?? Atomic works ok!
Thank you, Good Timekeeper.

Can't get any help with clock instruction. Like that it does but what use is it if you can't turn alarm off/ on ?
I am leery of Lacrosse technology. This based on past experience. This has interesting features.
A 12 hour clock is only usable in the US. The rest of the world is using a 24 hours clock.
Unless you learn the difference between AM and PM. It’s not really that hard.
@L Jax
Only in the morning!
US can use 24 hour clock too
Thank you!
I want to change back to standard time from military time how would I do that.
Will it even automatically set during DST?
Yes
Excelente como da la información 👌👍
Thank you…
I got something similar from La Crosse :) it is quite good. Although it is no backlight it hangs up on the wall so... ;) Greetings from Poland :)
can you change the AM/PM?
I have the same question. Any luck???
Thank you for the video. I appreciate it!
How do you switch it from am to pm
I have the same problem. Any luck so far???
I don't understand. Atomic clocks gain/lose about 1 second every 135 million years. Why would you want your atomic clock to radio check it's time a few times a day?

Can't find manual for craig activity tracker with bluetooth wireless technology oled w240n manual
Or app for it
This clock without a back light is totally useless!
You could keep a pocket flashlight by your bed.
I need information for 00582A1 model, how to re-set. I out new batteries in.. I know it’s an older model.
How do you set the sec?
U cant
Just woke up and my atomic clock did not set for daylight savings and I have the daylight savings feature turned on thought that was weird had to set it manually for daylight savings oh well still love my clock just figured out had it near my TV that's why it didn't set for daylight savings I'll remember that for when November get here
How you set to pm
Mine did not set itself ever. I'm in Massachusetts. Attractive clock though.
I have got Seiko radio wave controlled Auto tuning model sq 641S SMNK. it does not have controlling butten wd English but may be China or Japanees. How can I understand to fix changes
Mine won’t set by itself I’m in California is that normal
No, this clock will sync for all of the US and southern Canada. Make sure the clock is set to accept the time signal, watch this video to see how to do that. If you place the clock near a window on the side of your house closest to Fort Collins Colorado, (for CA that would be the East or NorthEast side) the clock should catch the time signal. to initiate the clock searching for the time signal, press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds, you will see a blinking tower of the display at top right. Also, it catches the signal best at night, at least 4-5 hours after sundown.
what about when it won't show outdoor temp
It's designed to only show the indoor temperature using its built-in thermometer. Other clocks will use outdoor temperature probes but not this one.
I have an exact model as on this video. My complaint is that you go too fast and I am totally 100% frustrated.
Is there anything in particular you’re trying to do which is making you frustrated?
No twenty-four-hour mode? :(
Please mentioned reasonable price in Indian rupee.
I don’t know the price in Indian rupee but I bought this for 20 dollars U.S.A. in the year 2016.
When the battery runs out and you will need the reset it, you will be googling for the instructions. DO NOT BUY.
I have that same clock
I have the same clock
l have that same clock
Me tooo
Same
I auge one
Shume te mira ok
No militairy time. Just am/pm. Disappointing.
