USER'S MANUAL
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the RM888P/RM888PU RF
Travel Projection Clock.
The Travel Clock is a compact, easy-to-handle device. The RM888P
--- the Central Europe model --- is designed to automatically
synchronize its current time and date when brought within an
approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from
Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77). The RM888PU --- the UK model -
-- will do the same when brought within range with MSF in the
United Kingdom.
The Travel Clock also comes with favorable features such as time
and alarm on/off status projection, multilingual day-of-the-week
display, back-light, dual clock displays (analog and digital),
user-selectable default clock display and 8-minute snooze function.
