Environmental Reception Effects; Quick Start - ONE CH116 Instruction Manual

ENVIRONMENTAL RECEPTION EFFECTS

Your radio controlled clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless
devices, the receiving ability maybe affected by, but not limited to, the following circumstances:
 Long transmitting distance

Nearby mountains and valleys

Among tall buildings

Near railway, high voltage cable etc.

Near freeway, airport, etc

Near construction site

Inside concrete buildings

Near electrical appliances

Neat computers and TV's

Inside moving vehicles

Near metallic structures
Place your clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and way from metal surfaces or
electrical appliances.

QUICK START

For best reception of radio controlled signal, keep your clock at least 3 feet away from the AC outlet or
AC/DC adaptor.
Step 1 Plug the AC/DC adaptor to any household AC outlet, then plug the DC jack to the back of the
clock radio. The LCD shows the default time 0:00 and it starts to search for outdoor temperature signal.
Step 2 Keep your clock and wireless sensor next to each other. Slide open the battery cover at the
back of your wireless outdoor sensor, then insert 2 x AA alkaline batteries to the back of it. Replace
the battery cover. Your clock will receive data signal from the outdoor sensor in few seconds. Your
clock will be synchronized with the outdoor sensor, the outdoor temperature will be displayed on the
upper right of the LCD.
Then place your outdoor sensor in a dry and shaded area outdoor.
Step 3 After your clock receives the outdoor temperature, it will start to search for the DCF signal. This
may take overnight. In case your clock does not catch the DCF signal during the day, set the time
manually.
Step 4 Open the battery door at the bottom of the unit. Extend the FM wire antenna fully and vary the
direction for best FM reception. Do not strip, alter or attach to other antennas.
Remarks:
1. Keep in mind that your outdoor sensor has a 30-meter open air transmission with no obstructions.
Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction
(roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.
