with this appliance the plug should be removed and the appropriate one
fitted.
IMP0RTANT : THE PLUG REMOVED FROM THE MAINS LEAD, IF SEVERED,
MUST BE DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH A BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS
HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED INTO A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp mains plug require changing a 3 amp BS1362
fuse must be fitted.
The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

Battery back-up facility (unit will work without a battery being fitted)
1 Remove the battery compartment cover (located underneath the unit) by
pushing in the clip and lifting off.
2 Insert a 2 x AAA batteries and connect to terminals (Ensure batteries are inserted
correctly)

If the optional battery is not installed in case of the AC power failure, the clock will go
through the automatic msf setting. You will need to reset the alarm when power is
restored.
Battery back-up is designed to operate for a short period only.
If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the battery to avoid
battery leakage.
In the interests of environmental safety : dispose of batteries safely.
Radio controlled clock (automatic clock) operation
Once you plug in the power cable and install the back-up batteries in the battery
compartment (2).
1 All the segments go solid for 2 seconds (LCD panel back-light will come on
automatically).
2 The letters “LON” and the rc signal receiver symbol will flash.
3 After a few seconds the display will show “— : — “ with the second section “00”.
4 When the RC signal has been received and decoded successfully, the second
section starts counting up. The real time clock is updated by the signal which
goes solid and immediately switches to the Auto Run Mode.

If the RC signal has not been received and decoded successfully
1 Your unit will stay in “0:00” with all the symbols cleared and will stop receiving the
RC signal after 15 minutes.
2 Press the mode button (8) once to switch the unit into self quartz oscillation Auto
Run Mode. Please refer to the SETTING THE TIME AND DATE IN REAL TIME

NOTE:
a) In order to get a clear, accurate RC signal, your clock requires several minutes for
receiving. This is normal.
b) Please do not place the RC signal receiver (1) near any electronic or electrical
products to avoid any interference (e.g. TV set, computer, refrigerator etc).
Clock operation (operate without RC signal)
Your clock is designed to operate by either synchronizing with the RC signal or
built-in quartz oscillation, which means your clock can always be working even after
you have left the RC signal transmitting area.
Weak or no RC signal is detected:
When there is a weak RC signal (not enough for synchronizing), the “0:00” will
appear. Please set the clock manually. (Please refer to the clock setting section).
