In which case they could have put in the manaual something like this:
"The clock's time is automatically set by radio signals sent by
WWVB located in Ft. Collins, CO operated by the National
Bureau of Standards."
It's also possible that the person who wrote the manual was given
wrong information by the product design management too.
