ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

This clock is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within range of the U.S. Atomic Clock. When the unit is within range, its radio-control mechanism will override all manual settings unless auto-reception of radio signal has been manually deactivated.

When the clock is receiving radio signal, the radio reception icon will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal. When the reception is complete, the radio reception icon will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour will be indicated.

For better reception, place the unit away from metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.

Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press and hold [RF CLOCK] button for 3 seconds. The radio reception icon will disappear. To reactivate the RF controlled function, press and hold [RF CLOCK] button for 3 seconds again and the radio reception icon will be re-displayed.
