the sender in Frankfurt a. M., you will get best
signal reception if Expert Mouse Clock is placed
as shown in the image.
4. Alignment of Expert Mouse Clock
After successful hardware and software installation, LED
of Expert Mouse Clock shines green and fl ashes red once
per second. If
the LED does
not shine, ple-
ase check the
connection of
the device. Irre-
gular blinking
indicates a bad
reception or a
disturbance of
the signal. Mo-
nitors or other
electrical de-
vices can be the
reason. In these
cases change
the position of
the module. Also rotating Expert Mouse Clock can improve
signal reception signifi cantly (compare Fig. 2). After having
found an optimum position, fi xate Expert Mouse Clock.
The PC clock will be synchronised after two or three minu-
tes.
