The 70 kW ERP signal transmitted from WWVB is a continuous 60 kHz carrier wave, the frequency of which. Most radio-controlled clocks have an internal antenna that picks up the signal most effectively when it is facing directly towards or away from Anthorn. It can take quite a few minutes for the clock to pick up the MSF radio signal, so be patient Try rotating the clock. 1 Most radio-controlled clocks in North America use WWVB’s transmissions to set the correct time. Change the current battery for a fresh one and reset your clock. So this is the link to a folder with all the needed info: WWVB is a time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado and is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). I have a couple of pictures that I toke but I really don't know how to upload them to this site. Press and release immediately to advance one minute, press and hold and hands will rapid advance. Once the clock is in manual mode press the SET button to adjust time. ![]() If the time of your clock is not correct, watch this video or follow the instructions below: Take out the batteries and put them back in. A radio-controlled clock has a special movement designed to receive compatible radio transmissions to automatically synchronise its time. Not sure about your cordless phone but wireless networks operate at approx 2.4GHz which although well away from the 60KHz used by the MSF, it has caused problems with my radio controlled clock which is on the wall nearby. Any one who has an unusable ID95, can try this mod to get it back to fully operational state. Manual Time Setting: Hold the SET button on the back of the movement for 3+ seconds to activate manual mode. 3) The radio-controlled clock is not showing the correct time. This work was made on so it has more than a year working. I used the EB juncture because it has a variable drop value from aprox 0.7 volt with low current up to 1.2 volts drop with 300 mA. Well, finally I build a "parallel regulator" based on a 78L05, wich takes the power in from a 6.5 VDC that I found internally in the ID95, and to get the needed 4.2 VDC to feed the MB95F378E, I just conected a NPN transistos in series with the 78L05 out terminal as a diode to produce a ~0.8 VDC drop from the 5 volts. Even really good quartz clocks struggle to keep time to better than a second a day if they wander out by just a couple of seconds in 24 hours (an amazing accuracy of 99.998 percent), and the errors don't cancel out, that could add up to a minute a month or almost a quarter of an hour a year. (cont.) The circuit still worked and let it going at the 4.2 VDC for a whole day to verify that it wasn't just a lucky shoot. So I decided to go on and arrived to 4.2 VDC. I found out that at the maximum VCC that is rated for the IC, it wasn't the best value for the LCD to show as a brand new unit does. This is to conserve the battery, as the reception unit takes more power than the clock/watch mechanism. the radio controlled clock doesnt know about the time change. ![]() With the fault at view and rising the external power supply slowly, the LCD starts to show normal again. Radio-controlled clocks typically check the time only every hour, or every two hours, and radio-controlled watches only perhaps three times a day. If DST is enabled, its likely due to a reception problem, i.e. To do so, I used an external power supply and started with the 3.3 VDC that is the same VCC that provides the internal regulator. I thought that since the LCD starts to fade out when temperature rises above 25 ☌, and it is very common in most houses, it should be the LCD drivers circuit that isn't able to continually source the needed signal. From the datasheet of the IC that drives the LCD display (MB95F378E), I found that is is possible to supply it from 1.8 to 3.6 VCC. Since I love it because of its sound quality and features I was not going to give up with the task of fixing it. I have an iHome ID95 with the same defect. ![]()
