summer time for that certain country.
What is the Radio controlled clock?
The radio controlled clock receives standard radio
wave transmissions that contain accurate time and
calendar information. Based on that information, the
radio controlled clock automatically adjusts its display
to the correct time.
Receiving Areas of the Radio Waves (in Japan)
Under favorable conditions, it is possible to receive
radio waves at distances up to 1,200 km from a
broadcast station. Even when within range, however,
radio wave interference may cause reception to fail or
be faulty.
Unfavorable conditions for radio wave reception
Even when within range, radio wave reception may fail due
to conditions related to the location or orientation of the
clock, topographical features, building structures, etc..
Moreover, if noise causes erroneous reception, the clock may
display the incorrect time.
• Areas where it is difficult for radio waves to penetrate,
such as in building basements or in secluded rooms inside
large buildings
• Near high-voltage cables, TV towers or train bridges
• Near metal shutters or window blinds
• Near electric appliances or office equipment, or on top of
or near metal office furniture such as steel desks
• Places where radio waves are obstructed, such as
construction sites, airports or busy traffic sites, etc..
• In the morning and evening, or on a rainy day
• Inside a vehicle, train, or airplane
• Close to other sources that cause radio static
