USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing the RM932/RM932U Radio-controlled Clock with World Time.

This Clock is a compact device for both home-users as well as

travellers. The RM932 --- 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 RM932U --- the UK model --- will do the same when brought within range of the MSF- 60 radio signal from Rugby, UK.

In addition to the local time and calendar display, the user can also select to display the corresponding time of 130 major world cities.

This Clock also comes with favourable features including key-lock function, multilingual day-of-the-week display, EL back-light, hourly chime and dual alarm with 8-minute snooze function.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

This clock is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within range of the radio signal. 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.
