ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RM822 / RM823 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 with DCF77 time-signal transmission. 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.

(UK version within a 1500km radius of radio signal (MSF) from Rugby, England)

When the batteries are first installed, the RM822 / RM823 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.
