4. Use the Up or Down buttons to Enable (EN) or Disable (DI) the
Daylight Savings Time function. If enabled, the time on the ATX
will automatically change when daylight saving time changes. This

Savings options. Press Set when done.
5. It is recommended to allow WWVB signals to control Daylight
Savings changes by leaving the Spring month selection set to 00. If
for some reason the ATX cannot receive WWVB signals, then you
should manually set the month and week for Daylight Savings
changes to occur.

buttons to select the Spring Month. Press Set when done. If set to
00, pressing Set will skip steps 6-8 and return to normal display.

Troubleshooting
Q. What happens if batteries die before I replace them?
A. The ATX will stop working. When the batteries are replaced, press
and release the RESET button on the ATX. It will automatically
reset time when it receives the WWVB signal. (This may take 24
hours). The battery life is approximately 5 years. When the
batteries become low the display will show a low battery indicator
“
”.
Q. Do I need batteries if I use an AC adaptor?
A. No, batteries are bypassed when an AC adapter is used.
Q. What do I do if TRNS does not flash after I press TRNS button?
A. Verify the ATX is not listening for the WWVB signal. The ATX will
not transmit until the listening period ends.
Q. How many Wall Clocks can an ATX correct?
A. As long as all Wall Clocks are in the range of the ATX, there is
virtually no limit of the number of clocks it can correct.
