ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The BAR898HGA is designed to automatically synchronize its
calendar clock once it is brought within range of the U.S. Atomic
Clock radio signal.
When the BAR898HGA is within range, its radio-control mecha-
nism will override all manual settings unless the auto-reception
function is manually disabled.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION
signal 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 signal
will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full
hour will be indicated.
Table-Stand For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and
electrical appliances to minimize interference.
Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press
and hold the [ZONE] button.
To reactivate the RF control function, press and hold the UP
