We have an Atomic Lacrosse WT-3143A clock; the battery ran out and a new one was put in. The hands rotated and stopped at 8 o'clock. We pushed ET buttons on the back and nothing happened, pushed the reset button (I'm assuming it's a reset button) still nothing happened. We then changed the battery to make sure it's a brand new one; clock rotated to 12 o'clock and stopped. Maybe we're doing something wrong...please instruct us on how to reset the clock....thank you.

The manual for one of their clocks says the clock will change the second hand to two-second intervals to conserve energy when the battery voltage gets low. Perhaps your battery is VERY low.

I think we're not talking about a WT-3101. What model is YOUR clock?

This site lists several including some desk models on two pages and each has unique downloadable instructions.

I'd say you have a lemon.

Remove the battery and replace with a new one. Just because.
Depress the tab on the back of the clock mechanism firmly (it pushes in a button beneath it) 22 times. While you're pressing the tab, the hands will begin to rotate. They will stop at 12 , 4 or 8 o'clock.

Place the clock in a window where it will be able to receive the radio signal.

Next morning the clock should have re-set to U.S. Pacific time. Press the on the clock mechanism that corresponds to your time zone and you should now have the correct time again.

The clock is searching for a strong enough radio signal from NIST station WWVB. When it can't lock on it, it gives up, moves the dial four hours, and goes to sleep to wait for better reception. Put the clock in a window facing towards Boulder, CO, overnight. (Radio propagation is better after dark.)

See http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/3143a/manual.pdf Press the unmarked button for 1 second. That turns DST on and off.

don't push any buttons at all untill the clock has at least 15 minutes to communicate with the transmitter.
