SETTING THE CLOCK
The clock automatically sets itself to 12 O’clock and searches for the R/C signal.
Once it has received the MSF signal, the clock automatically displays the correct
time. e recommend that you do not put up or hang the clock during this

If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is faulty or the signal
is not being received at the chosen location. Repeat setting process at a different
location by pressing the RESET button.
SETTING/SNOOZING THE ALARM

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
MSF 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.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
• 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 hould I do if my clock will not ynchronize 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 returnit to the
place of purchase.
What can I do to improve ignal 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 buildings, 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 lo e an hour in the ummer?
• Nothing! The time will switch automatically when the signal is received.
