Please read the entire instruction manual before using the product and save it
for future reference. We reserve the right for any errors in text or images and any
necessary changes made to technical data. If you have any questions regarding
technical problems please contact our Customer Services.
Things to consider:
• Other wireless equipment using the same frequency can reduce
the transmission range.
• The range of all wireless equipment depends on the type of obstacles located
between the transmitter and the receiver (e.g. a concrete wall will interfere with
the signal more than a plasterboard wall).
If you experience problems, try the following:
• Turn off any other existing wireless equipment and check if this is the cause of
the problem.
• Reposition the wireless equipment, shorten the distance between the sending
and receiving devices or reduce the number of obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.)
between them.
What is a radio controlled clock?
A radio controlled clock is an extremely accurate timekeeping device. The time is
controlled by the atomic clock in Braunschweig, Germany (accuracy ±1 second per
1 million years). The clock has a built -in radio receiver that decodes the incoming
atomic clock signal (long wave 77.5 kHz). The product also has a precisely
calibrated quartz clock movement with a frequency of 32 kHz that keeps it running.
The transmitter in Germany has an official range of 2,000 km. This means that
the UK and Ireland should be well within range.

• The alarm clock is intended for indoor use only.
