To improve reception
Reception is governed in large part by where the radio-controlled clock antenna is set up and which direction it is pointed in. Location of radio-controlled clock antenna setup: If the installation is within a building made of reinforced concrete, reception will be weaker the farther the antenna is from a window. To improve reception, place the antenna as closes as possible to the window. Direction the antenna faces: Reception changes depending on the direction that the antenna is facing. Look at the display window to check reception, and turn the antenna

This radio is equipped with a radio-controlled clock-auto-adjust system. The clock-auto-adjust receives standard time data (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and D.S.T.) on a prescribed frequency, and uses that to automatically reset the clock. To receive correct local time, set the zone selector (illustrated below) on the bottom of the radio to the time zone you are in (Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific). If the selector is set to the wrong zone, the displayed time will be wrong. There are no zone settings for Alaska and Hawaii.
