Thank you! Couldn’t find directions on the website. This video is perfect! My clock never changes itself when it should. But my cheap little Emerson clock that I bought at Target years ago, always changes itself. Even keeps itself 9 minutes fast like I like it.
Hey Judy, thanks for the shoutout! We're happy the video was able to help. If you should ever wish to review the full manual, quick start guide, or FAQ documents for our WT-8005U, you can find them on our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/wt-8005u-s#support
STILL WORKING!! Best clock ever. Works with rechargeable batteries, too.
Wow! So helpful! I needed to change from military time to regular. Thank you so much!
Everyone should have a wall clock like that one day!
Come to realize that setting the time zone is much easier than I thought. Was actually packing the clock for return. Then I decided to check the manual. The instruction says to press and release the Zone button. When that didn't change anything, I pressed the Set button till the DST appeared, and P under. Then I pressed the Zone button till I got C, for Central. There's P, M, C, E. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.
Thank you. This really helped
Thank you so much ❤️😊
i found this clock in my dads garage and now you guys helped me to get it to work thanks
Great digital clock purchased at Rite Aid half price! several yrs ago. Model WT-8005
I got this :) it is great :)
Thanks, I was ready to trash this thing!
Well we're certainly glad you didn't. If you should have any further questions or issues in the future, just let us know. :)
Lol..me too
Thank you
It is set up for Pacific time, even I tried to change it 1000 times to East time, it keeps going back to Pacific time. Should I move to California? Maybe I won't have a problem with the clock there...How do I change the time zone (not just on or off - I have it off, and even with that, goes back to Pacific time) to East time? please, help. I have 3 of these clocks, they are driving me nuts. I bought them because I love the design, but I think I made a mistake.
Hey Laura, we're truly sorry for the confusion. The video unfortunately does not cover the Time Zone nor Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings. Please see page 2 of your manual for these adjustments: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/w/t/wt-8005u_1.pdf -- We should also note that the ON/OFF setting within your settings menu is likely for Daylight Saving Time, and if you live in an area that follows DST, you'll likely want to keep that setting set to ON. Sorry again for the trouble, we're here if you have any further questions.
How do I disable the atomic settings on this clock. I have set it to the correct time multiple times already and this stupid setting keeps on changing it to the year 2098, five hours behind and 3 days off date.
If it's setting the date to 2098, it sounds defective to me. You could try a hard reset with the reset button and start the setup process over. If that doesn't work and it's under warranty, send it back.
As John Smith mentioned, a reset would be our first suggestion. First, remove the batteries from the clock and press any button at least 20 times. Then wait 15 minutes before installing a new set of reputable alkaline batteries. Once turned on, use a pen or paperclip to press the RESET button one time. From there, follow the setup steps as instructed. If this continues to default to the incorrect date/time, please send our support team a message here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport -- they will gladly help get you a replacement. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
Sharp
And what if the Set button isn’t working? I just replaced the batteries because the screen was getting sim, and now the Set button doesn’t work. It was fine for years.
Sorry for the trouble! Let's try a few steps to see if we can get this corrected:
1. Remove the batteries from your display.
2. Press any button on the display at least 25 times and leave it sitting without power for at least two hours.
3. Power the display back up by installing a new set of regular alkaline batteries from the same package. Other battery types should be avoided.
If this does not resolve the issue, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Our apologies again for any inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology I figured it out. When it’s trying to find a signal to connect to and the satellite icon is blinking, the setup button is disabled. Once I manually shut that search function off, the setup worked as always. Hope that can help someone else & thanks for writing back!
how do you change it form pacific to eastern
Great question! To adjust your time zone, simply press the UP arrow (or ZONE) button to toggle through your options. P = Pacific, M = Mountain, C = Central, and E = Eastern. More on this and other settings can be found in your full manual here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/w/t/wt-8005u_1.pdf
I have the exact same clock with the WWVB search button and it does not work
Hi Timothy, have you tried pressing the RESET button? You may need a pen or paper clip to press it in, but this should help reset your settings and allow your search button to work again. If this does not resolve the issue (allowing the clock to seach of the WWVB signal), please send our support team a message here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ and we'll work with you to get you a functioning clock.
Now, on the other hand, if you're referring to the clock not picking up the signal in general, you can help this by moving the clock near a window, away from other electronics, and have the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO. It can sometimes take a few nights for it to pick up this signal, which is why we have the manual settings for use during this time or if you're in an area where the signal has trouble reaching.
I own the "Mainstays" atomic wall clock from Wal-Mart. The clock is actually made by La Crosse specifically for Wal-Mart. (Model #W88631). I will say I liked it so much I bought another. I will never own a clock that is not radio controlled. My living room clock is a La Crosse analog wall clock. My kitchen clock is the W88631 and my desk clock is the same. I am very happy with them. They pick up the signal just fine from Colorado every night and automatically set for DST changes. I think a lot of the complainers are people who cannot read instructions. By the way Greg Anderson did a great review of this clock here: czcams.com/video/_FLSUfqYq98/video.html
Thanks John! We appreciate your kind words and continued support of our products.
I bought it for outside weather options, it didn’t work and going back
Hi Al, we apologize for any confusion, however, we do want to note that this model doesn't exactly include weather features, only your indoor temperature. If you'd like more information on a model that does include weather data, we'd be more than happy to help point you in the right direction. In the meantime, our website could be a good resource. Here's a link to other digital wall clocks that do include weather and outdoor data: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/time/digital-wall-clocks#clock_features=outdoor-temperature&gan_data=true -- If you have any questions, just let us know.
Does it have a back light ??
Hey Billy, unfortunately our WT-8005U model featured in this video does not come equipped with a backlight. If this is required, we'd recommend looking into our 513-1419BLV4: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/513-1419blv4 model, or something similar. Though, we should note, any model that offers a constant backlight will require use of a power cord instead of just battery operation. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
I have two, clocks BOTH And delivers
D at the same time- both set up the same- and within 1 day they both are flashing different times.
Brand new batteries in both. I bought this at Kohl’s online for $35 each- and will promptly return them if this isn’t corrected.
No one answers the phone for their support number- just leave a message- and NEVER get called back
We sincerely apologize for the trouble with your digital wall clocks and wait times through our normal support chain. If you could please pass along your email address and phone number in a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page, we'd be more than happy to help get you moved up in their support queue. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
why not showing how to set the alanguage
This setting is typically found within the settings menu on our products, which would have been covered in the video, but this WT-8005U item unfortunately does not have a separate Language setting. For more information on your specific item, please visit our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/?type=manuals and type in your model number.
My set button doesn’t work
Hey Skyler, sorry for the trouble! Let's try a few steps to see if we can get this corrected:
1. Remove all power (batteries) from your clock.
2. Press any button on it at least 25 times and leave it sitting without power for at least two hours.
3. After the two hours or so, power the display back up by installing a new set of regular alkaline batteries for best results.
If this does not resolve SET button issue, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Our apologies again for the inconvenience.
Now why wouldn't you also include setting it to the Atomic Time???? That is where I am having the problem. At least I think i figured it out based on how you set the time. We'll find out.
Hi Harry, we apologize for not included that instruction in this video, however, with this clock the atomic function is always set to ON. This means that the clock will automatically search for the WWVB radio signal coming from Fort Collins, CO each night (typically between the hours of 12am and 6am). Once the signal is received, the clock will adjust the time accurately according to the Time Zone you have selected using the ZONE button on the back. To manually search for this signal press the WWVB SEARCH button, the WWVB Atomic Icon will start to flash on screen. It will be solid when connected. For more information, your full manual can be found here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/w/t/wt-8005u_1.pdf
Set button doesn’t work. The only thing it does is change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit…
Hey Priscilla, sorry for the trouble. Be sure to press and hold the SET button until the settings begin to flash on screen. Once in the settings menu, use the up/down buttons to adjust and then press and release the SET button to confirm and move to the next setting.
The clock switched itself to a different time zone while I was away and now has wrong time, date, year etc. changed batteries and have followed all instructions but cannot get it to set for correct time. The clock is only 8 months old but I did not regester it so I guess I am stuck. I bought tit because I had one before and it was great never did a thing with it had it for 10 years and it finally just gave up. This is a disappointment,
Hi Jacqueline, how long has it been since you've tried resetting your clock? It can sometimes take up to 5 nights for it to receive the atomic reception. Moving it near a window, away from other electronics, and having the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO will help make for the best reception chance (typically happens over night). You'll know the reception has been received when the WWVB Atomic Icon remains solid on screen. If you do not wish to wait for the reception, you can always set your clock manually following the steps on page 2 of the manual here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/w/t/wt-8005u.pdf ... once the atomic reception is received it will override these settings.
Same happened to me...and I own 3 of them. ;( They all go back to Pacific time, or Central time, and I live in the East!
My clock didn’t change the time for Daylight Savings. How do I correct the time and have it set for Daylight Savings?
Hey Peg, our apologies for the lack of info on that topic in this video. If your clock did not adjust its time automatically by now, there's a good chance it is not receiving the WWVB atomic signal. To try and get this feature working, use the Zone button to make sure your correct time zone is selected, and the WWVB Search button to manually perform a search. It can sometimes take 3-5 nights for your clock to receive the signal and adjust your time automatically. Moving the clock away from other electronics and near a window with the front or back of the device facing Fort Collins, CO can often help speed this connection process up. When connected, the WWVB (Tower) Icon will be solid on screen and your time should adjust appropriately. However, if you're simply just looking to adjust your time manually, the instructions in this video should walk you through how to do that. For additional information about this product, you can find both the full manual and FAQ documents on our page here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/wt-8005u-s#support
@@lacrossetechnology I just got mine yesterday. And I have the same issue. It won't let me set the DST. It stays on P, which is Pacific. I live in CST. By this morning, it has changed to PST. And no way to adjust it. You said "Moving the clock away from other electronics and near a window with the front or back of the device facing Fort Collins, CO." Really? That's funny. I live in Texas. I guess I'm gonna pack my clock and fly down to CO, just for that reason. Lol....Rotf.
It's a shame that I can't see my clock in the dark, that's the only issue I have with this clock 😒.
Hey Locksley, we do apologize for any inconvenience. We do offer some similar models that come with a backlight feature, you can find these here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/digital-wall-clocks#/filter:tags_features:Backlight if you're interested.
My clock gains about 40 seconds a day. What do I do?
40 seconds a day is quite extreme. If you've tried a full restart by removing the batteries, pressing any button at least 20 times, and waiting a good hour or two before powering it back on and are still having this issue, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. We do apologize for any inconvenience.
Did not work for me!!😢😢😢😢😢
Hey Patricia, we're sorry for the trouble. For personalized assistance, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page. We are here to help in any way we can.
I know the video is 7 years old, but you forgot to tell people how to to a manual WWVB search, I know it will automatically search seven minutes after the batteries are installed and also in the middle of the night after the clock is set manually...
Our apologies for not covering this specifically in the video. If you wish to manually start or stop a search for the WWVB signal, simply press the WWVB SEARCH button on the back of the clock. More on this and other topics can be found in this item's support documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/wt-8005u-s#support
My clock goes right to Pacific time zone. And when it does connect to a signal it goes back three hours?? Why does it keep doing this???? video unhelpful
Hey Devin, we are truly sorry for the lack of information on this topic within this video. Our first suggestion would be to review your full item manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/wt-8005u-s#support -- If you still need assistance after this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page (social media will likely be a bit faster this time of year). Sorry again for any inconvenience, we look forward to helping get your clock working correctly.
NOT WORKING!!!!
Hi Andie, we apologize for the troubles with your clock. Please get in touch with our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ and they will work with you to figure out a solution. Sorry again for this inconvenience.
I have this for almost 2 years. I came back here to find out how to get it to sync to atomic clock. Why are we taught how to set time and alarm? It is supposed to be an atomic clock. Show us how to make it pick up atomic time not the generic clock setting and alarm.
Hey Bernel, we are truly sorry for the lack of info on that topic in this video. The atomic time feature is automatic on this model, meaning your clock will automatically search for the WWVB signal on its own, when connected the WWVB (Tower) Icon will be solid on screen and your time should adjust appropriately. Use the Zone button to switch between the various time zones, and the WWVB Search button to manually perform this search. It can sometimes take 3-5 nights for your clock to receive the signal and adjust your time automatically. Moving the clock away from other electronics and near a window with the front or back of the device facing Fort Collins, CO can often help speed this connection process up.
