OVERVIEW OF FEATURES

About the Atomic Clock

In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies operates an atomic clock transmitter which transmits the time codes via radio frequency. This AcuRite clock features a receiver which receives the signal, allowing the clock to maintain super-accurate time. NOTE: Due to solar radiation in the atmosphere, the atomic clock signal is weaker during the day. Synchronization with the atomic clock signal is likely to be more successful late at night when there is less atmospheric interference.
