Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock with
Temperature Display RM328PA.
The RM328PA is a multifunction (RF) controlled clock. It can
automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought
within the radio signal WWVB generated from the US.
To facilitate nighttime reading, the unit comes with a projector that
can cast large, clear clock-time figures onto flat surfaces in dark. It
also has a back light for easy reading of the display.
Other features of the RM328PA include: displaying the current
indoor temperature, a current date display, daily crescendo alarm
with eight-minute snooze function and extra-large display.

Note: Under normal circumstances, the batteries are good
for 1 year. However, the battery life can be reduced vastly by
frequent use of the back light, projector or snooze function.
If not disposed of properly batteries can be harmful.
Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries
to authorized disposal stations.
HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

To install the adapter:
1. Insert adapter into jack at the bottom of the unit.
2. Plug the adapter into the adapter socket.
Note: Making sure the voltage is correct, plug the other end
of the power adapter into a free wall socket.
Once the power adapter is in place, you can select to turn on the
projector for longer periods of time (such as throughout the night)
by sliding out the PROJECTION LIGHT ON - switch on the back
of the unit. To turn off the projector, slide the switch back.
Note that this switch can only be used with the power
adapter installed. For momentary projection, use the

HOW TO USE THE BACKLIGHT
Press [ ] once. The back light will activate
for five seconds. The projection will also be on for five seconds.
ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RM328PA is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. The
clock time will automatically synchronize with WWVB-60 time-
signal transmission from the US when put within range. The benefit
of a RF controlled clock is that highly-accurate time is maintained
and manual adjustments to the time and date are not be required.
When the batteries are first installed, the RM328PA will
automatically search for a radio signal.
When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This
process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial
search, short periodic reception-signal scans will commence several
times a day.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.
-
Unit has received radio signal.
-
Clock is searching for radio signal but not yet
received. It is recommended that you reposition or
rotate the antenna.
-
The display time has been manually set and is not
synchronized to the RF signal.
-
When the antenna symbol blinks, a reception is going
on. A full reception takes approx. 2 to 10 minutes,
depending on the quality of the signal received.
The hourly scanning may take a few seconds only.

When the reception is complete, the radio-reception signal will
stop blinking.
Interference
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception,
place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.
Note: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect
the signal. If, after batteries have been inserted for ten
minutes, the signal is not received, then set the time manually
(see section: How To Set The Calendar Clock Manually).
The weekday is displayed as an abbreviation in 3 languages.
To change the “seconds” display to the “weekday” display:
• When the “seconds” are displayed, press CLOCK once.
