1. Remove the insulation strip in the battery compartment
2. Plug the adaptor into the DC jack.
3. Press RESET key to restart the clock and it will synchronize the
channels of transmitter automatically.
NOTE:
1. The building material and the position of the receiver and transmitter
affect the effective range. So try various locations to obtain the best
result.
2. Place the units away from metal objects and electrical appliances to
minimize the interference. Position the receiver and transmitter within
the effective transmission range: 30, in usual circumstances.

RECEPTION OF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL RCC
The time and date are radio-controlled. The current time and date
are automatically synchronized with the time signal transmitted from
DCF77. When used for the first time (after inserting the batteries or
pressing RESET and RCC key), the clock will start to receive the RC
signal in 5 minutes with the signal strength indicator flashing.
SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR
The signal indicator displays signal strength in 4 levels. Wave
segment flashing means time signals are being received. The signal
quality could be classified into four types:
NOTE:
1. Everyday the unit will automatically search for the time signal at 2:00
am, 8:00 am, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
2. Always place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV set,
computer, etc.
3. Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal plate.
4. Closed area such as airport, basement, tower block or factory is not
recommended.
5. Do not start reception on a moving article such as vehicle or train.
