ABOUT MSN DIRECT RADIO SIGNAL
®
The MSN Direct service is delivered over the
®
Microsoft DirectBand™ network, a wide-area network
®
based on FM radio technology. This radio signal
transmits to the unit most of the information that is
displayed i.e. weather, temperature, humidity, UV, wind
and local time with DST adjustment. For more
information on MSN Direct, please visit
www.msndirect.com.
When you insert the AC adapter or batteries, the unit
will automatically start searching for the MSN Direct
radio signal. While the unit is searching for a signal
"Scanning" will appear in the Message Display Area.
Weather information shows when the signal has been
received. "Lost Link" shows when the signal has NOT
been received.
If you cannot receive a signal:
• Place the unit in a different location.
• Make sure the unit has a clear view to the sky and
is away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Reposition the reception antenna.
• Force a signal search.
