Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock with
Temperature Display RM328P (RM328PU) .
The RM328P is a multifunction (RF) controlled clock. It can
automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought
within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio signal DCF77
generated from Frankfurt, Germany (the UK version from MSF
Rugby, England).
To facilitate nighttime reading, the unit comes with a projector that
can cast large, clear clock-time figures onto flat surfaces in dark. It
also has a back light for easy reading of the display.
Other features of the RM328P include: displaying the current indoor
temperature, a current date display, daily crescendo alarm with eight-
minute snooze function, and extra-large display.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RM328P is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When
located within a 15OOkm radius of radio signal (DCF77) at Frankfurt,
Germany, the clock time will automatically synchronize with DCF77
4
time-signal transmission. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that
highly-accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the
time and date are not be required.
(UK version within a 15OOkm radius of radio signal (MSF) from
Rugby, England)
When the batteries are first installed, the RM328P (RM328PU) will
automatically search for a radio signal.
, ,
When in search mode, the antenna icon [
ir
1
] will blink. This
process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial
search, short periodic reception-signal scans will commence several
times a day.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

on. A full reception takes approx. 2 to 10 minutes,
,/’ , ‘\~
depending on the quality of the signal received.
The hourly scanning may take a few seconds only.

When the reception is complete, the radio-reception signal will stop
blinking.
Interference
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception,
place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.

DCF77 radio signal it will need to be manually set (the UK version
from MSF Rugby, England).
To manually set the cIock:
1.
When the calendar is displayed, press CLOCK for two seconds.
The month value will start to blink.
2. Enter the month using the [ A ] and [ v ] buttons. Hold down
either button to rapidly increase or decrease the value.
3. Press CLOCK to confinn and proceed to set the day, display
language, day-of-the-week, hour and minute.
4. For the display language, you can choose between (E) for English
(D) for German (F) for French, (I) for Italian and (S) for Spanish
(see language chart above).
5. When finished, press CLOCK to return to normal display. If
changes are made during the process, the seconds will reset and
start from zero.
HOW TO SET AND ACTIVATE
THE ALARM
To set the alarm time:
1. Press and hold ALARM for two seconds when the alarm time is
displayed.
2. Enter the value for the hour digits. Press ALARM to confirm and
go to the minute digits. Enter the value and press ALARM to
confirm.
3. The alarm is automatically activated. To deactivate it, press
ALARM once.
ALARM AND SNOOZE FUNCTION
When the alarm is set, it will activate at the set time. The back light
will go on for five seconds with the alarm-on icon [ )? ] flashing.

its intensity in three steps. Without interruption, the alarm will
activate for a minute.

Tostopthedm,pressanykey.Ifthe[ .@ ((SNOOZE)) ($1
button is pressed, the snooze function will be triggered. The alarm
will stop for eight minutes before activating again.
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
The temperature is shown in Centigrade (“C). The RM328P
(RM32XPU) is capable of measuring temperatures within the -5OC
and 50°C range. If the temperature goes above or below that, the
display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES
The maximum and minimum recorded temperatures will be
automatically stored in memory. To display them, press MEMORY
to rotate through the maximum, minimum and current temperatures.
The respective MAX or MIN indicator will be displayed.

To clear the memory, hold down MEMORY for two seconds. The
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press
MEMORY now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will
have the same values as the current ones until different readings are
recorded.
HOW TO RESET THE UNIT
The RESET button allows you to return all settings to its factory
values, which are 1997 for year, 1- 1 ( 1 st of January) for date, 12:OO
for time and 06:OO for the alarm, which will be deactivated (UK
version, 12:OOpm for time and 06:OOam for the &rm).’ !# ”
The button is required only when the unit is not operating in a
favorable way, such as in the rare case of a malfunction.
