RADIO-CONTROLLED ALARM CLOCK
5. Getting started
Open the battery compartment (1) and insert the battery (1x 1,5 V AA), polarity as illustrated. The unit is now ready to use.
The clock shows 4, 8 or 12.00 o’clock and is trying to receive the MSF radio signal. When the time code is received after 2-5 min­utes, the radio-controlled time will be displayed.
5.1 Radio-controlled time reception
The MSF radio time code is controlled by a caesium atomic clock situated in England. The time is coded and transmitted via fre­quency signal MSF (60 kHz) and is available across the whole of the UK and beyond. Your radio-controlled clock receives this sig­nal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or winter­time. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geo­graphic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within the UK.
Please take note of the following:
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like comput­er monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window.
During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
6. Alarm
Set your desired alarm time by turning the back button (2).
Once the alarm starts to ring, you can activate the snooze func­tion by pressing the top button (4). The alarm will be interrupt­ed for 4-5 minutes.
To deactivate the snooze function slide the alarm switch (3) to OFF position.
7. Backlight
Press the top button (4) to light up the display for 5 seconds.
8. Care and maintenance
Remove the battery if you do not use the product for a lengthy period.
