KLH KC-120ST ユーザーズマニュアル
Note: The “Atomic Clock” receiver ONLY operates when the KC-120ST is in
standby mode. The clock will NOT set itself while the radio is playing.
The Atomic Clock receiver inside the KC-120ST picks up and decodes the U.S.
National Institute of Standards and Technology broadcast from Long Wave radio
station WWVB located near Ft. Collins Colorado. The time information in the
data stream from WWVB is controlled by several atomic clocks located at the
station’s site. These clocks are for all practical purposes the US time standard.
WWVB is not a conventional radio station, as it does not broadcast entertainment
or human understandable information. The frequency used by this station is 60
kHz, which is well below the lower end of the AM radio band. As such, it is
subject to significant interference from power lines, fluorescent lights, light
dimmers etc. Usually the signal from WWVB is strongest at night. The power
level used by the station is such that it can be received over most of the
continental US and southern Canada for at least a few hours out of each 24-hour
period.
Because the signal from WWVB must travel more than a thousand miles to the
largest population centers and is subject to propagation conditions plus
interference, we cannot guarantee that the user will always be able to find a
location where the KC-120ST will consistently set itself.
The time display will flash 12:00 until the clock automatically synchronizes with
WWVB or until it is manually set. If you notice the display flashing 12:00 after a
power failure, replace the two AAA batteries located in the compartment on the
bottom of the KC-120ST.

with less than 10 seconds between steps to avoid dropping out of time set
mode.)
