Note: After replacing the batteries, the entire display will activate for

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RM802 / RM803 is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When located within a 1500km radius of radio signal (DCF77) at Frankfurt, Germany*, the

clock time will automatically synchronize. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that highly accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the time and date are not required.

(UK version within a 1500km of radio signal (MSF) from Rugby, next to England) After the initial search, short periodic reception signal scans will commence

several times a day.

When the batteries are first installed, the RM802 / RM803 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.
