1. You state that the DayTeller® is a Radio-controlled Clock. What is a Radio-controlled Clock?

The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado broadcasts the time signal (WWVB at 60kHz AM radio signal) with an accuracy of 1 second per every 3,000 years. The signal will cover over a distance up to 2,000 miles from the source. Like a typical AM radio, your RCC will not be able to receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels. The reception of the time signal is also greatly affected by electrical or electronic interference. To get the best performance of the RCC clock, please install the clock nearer to a window and change directions if one direction does not work. Refer to Question #2 below, to ensure the correct installation and the best reception.
