RECEPTION
The split-second accuracy of the RMR-136HG is achieved through
its internal antenna that responds to a special 60kHz frequency
signal generated by the US Atomic Clock.
The RMR-136HG automatically activates its antenna upon
battery insertion and within 3 - 7 minutes should receive the US
Atomic Clock signal. Note that if the RMR-136HG is new allow
up to 72 hours for the unit to receive the initializing signal. The
strongest signal reception usually occurs between midnight and
4:00 AM. However, if the RMR-136HG has not picked up a signal

after 48 hours, remove the batteries, allow the unit to clear and
then reinsert the batteries. Once the RMR-136HG receives the
initial signal, updates are accomplished with greater ease.
IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the time zone until AFTER the clock
has picked up the signal.
NOTE: SIGNAL STRENGTH
The RMR-136HG, like other radio frequency equipment, is most
effective when it is placed near a window. The RMR-136HG may
need to be moved or repositioned to receive a stronger signal. For
best reception, place the RMR-136HG away from metal objects
and electrical appliances to minimize interference.
On the bottom line of the LCD screen immediately to the left of
the time display, is an icon indicating the signal reception strength.
Please note that while the RMR-136HG is receiving a signal from
the US Atomic Clock, the "receiving" icon will flash; once the
signal reception is complete, the icon will stop flashing.
