When the reception is completed the reception icon will stop
blinking. The reception icon will show [ ] for no Reception or
[
] for successful reception.
For best signal reception, place the RM116E away from other
equipment that emit RF or microwave signals such as TV's,
radios, PC's or microwave ovens. Other causes for signal
interference include electrical power transmission towers, steel
reinfoced concrete construction, and/or metal siding.
You may need to reposition the clock for maximum reception.
Radio Frequency appliances and radios, such as the Radio
Controlled Alarm Clock, perform best when placed near a
window.
After receiving the initial signal, updates are accomplished with
greater ease. Even though there are areas that may have more
difficulty in receiving a signal, the RM116E Alarm Clock
contains very accurate quartz movement and will retain precise
time even if a signal is missed on a rare occasion.

features manually: however, in the event that you should travel outside the United

manual setting changes are made, the display will indicate a loss of signal strength
8see SIGNAL STRENGHT INDICATOR) to indicate that the clock is now run-
