Time Based Features
The SIRIUS signal maintains the current time and
can trigger pre-programmed alarms.
Once you turn the power on and the unit receives
the satellite signal, the unit automatically maintains
the time unless you remove it from its docking base.
If the receiver loses the signal, it loses the time and
will not trigger any pre-programmed alarms. To
restore the time and alarms, turn the receiver on. It
will update the time automatically from the satellite
signal.
