For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel,
and radio signal format before you mount the
sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 70 metres
(230 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

• Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.

• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.

• Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance and
signal transmission.

NOTE

The transmission range may vary and is subject

to the receiving range of the main unit.

You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.

CLOCK AND CALENDAR

This product tracks the time and date based on radio­controlled signals from the RTGR328N remote sensor,
or manual settings that you enter.

13

EN

RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK

The time and date are automatically updated by radio­controlled clock signals from official time-keeping
organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby
(England) unless you disable this feature. The signals
are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N)
whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET.
Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking.

The

icon shown in the Clock Area indicates

2 factors:

• Connection between the main unit and the sensor
that collects RF signals (

• RF signal reception (
