RECEPTION OF RADIO CONTROLLED TIME SIGNAL

The time and date are radio-controlled. The current time and date are automatically synchronized with the time signal transmitted from Germany (DCF 77)/U.K. (MSF)/ USA(WWVB).
When used for the first time (after inserting the batteries or pressing the "RESET" key), the clock will start to receive the RC signal in 5 minutes with the signal strength indicator flashing.

SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR

The signal indicator displays signal strength in 4 levels. Wave segment flashing means time signals are being received. The signal quality could be classified into four types:

No signal quality

Weak signal quality

Acceptable signal quality

Excellent signal quality

NOTE:

1. Everyday the unit will automatically search for the time signal at 2:00, 8:00, 14:00 and 20:00.
2. Always place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV set, computer, etc.
