Please read and retain these instructions for future reference v001: 03/10/22
MANUALLY SETTING THE TIME
To set the time manually, press and hold the M.SET button
for 3 seconds to set the time:
Press the M.SET button for 1 second to advance 1 minute
Press the M.SET button and hold for more than 1 second to
advance the minute hand.
If the M.SET button is not pressed for 8 seconds, the clock is
set at the time shown.
RECEIVING RADIO-CONTROLLED SIGNAL
The clock will automatically receive the radio signal 12 times
every day. It will take 3-12 minutes to receive the radio
signal. Pressing the REC button for 3 seconds, will force the
clock to attempt to receive the radio signal. The clock will
revert to 12 o’clock and start receiving the radio signal. Once
it has received the MSD signal and processed it accordingly,
the clock automatically displays the correct time. If the clock
still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is faulty and
it will resume the time before the forced reception search.
If the signal is weak or the clock is unable to receive the
signal the hands will not move. Due to atmospheric
conditions, the signal is often strongest between midnight
and 4am.
What can I do to improve signal reception?
•If you plan to use this clock in a concrete or metal
building, reception will be improved if the clock is placed
near to a window, with any curtains or blinds open.
•Do not place the item too near to electrical appliances
such as television, microwaves, speakers, computers or
fax machines.
•Many natural and man-made items can block or interfere
with radio signal reception. These include tall building,
airports, mountains and valleys and electrical items such
as high voltage cables, traffic lights or neon lights. Bad
weather can also affect the signal.
What do I need to do when we gain or lose an hour in the
summer?
•Nothing! The time will switch automatically when the
signal is received.
DISPOSAL
•Dispose of all packaging, paper, cartons, plastic and
plastic bags in accordance with your local recycling
regulations.
•At the end of the product’s lifespan please dispose of it at
an authorised household WEEE waste recycling centre.
CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
•Replace the battery every year or when the clock loses its ability to receive the radio signal.
•Keep the clock clean and dry. A soft cloth should be used regularly to keep the product dust-free.
•Do not use any corrosive cleaner or chemicals on the clock.
•Always store the clock without a battery whenever it is not in use.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
What should I do if my clock will not synchronize at all?
•Check the battery and if necessary try a new battery.
•If nothing else works, take the clock outside on a clear night and remove the battery. Power it up again by reinserting the
battery to force it to search for the signal again. If the clock works outside but not inside you probably have a local
interference problem in your house or building.
•If the clock does not work outside at night it is probably best to return it to the place of purchase.
