Interference

Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For optimal reception, please note that:

•A minimum distance of 8 feet should be kept from any interference source, such as TV sets, computer monitors, microwave ovens and etc.

•Reception might be weak within concrete rooms (e.g. basements, superstructures, office buildings). In extreme cases, place the clock close to a window.

•Some localities may be subject to severe atmospheric disturbances. However, such interference usually weakens during the night. A single daily reception is sufficient to keep the accuracy reading.

•If the alarm goes off during radio reception, the session will be interrupted and restart after the alarm has stopped. In the event that radio-controlled time reception is not possible, you may set the time manually.

Manual Time Setting

If you choose to disable the reception for a certain period, or auto synchronisation is not successful or there is faulty reception, then follow the steps below to set the clock manually:

In the main display mode:

• Press SET button until the display flashes.

• Press and hold or to set the minute and hour.

• Press MODE button once.

• Press and hold or to set the date, month and year.
