ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RM888PA will auto atically synchronize current ti e and
date with the signal broadcast by the US Ato ic Clock when the
product is in reception range of the signal. When the unit is new
and just out of the box, synchronization with the U.S. ato ic clock
can take upto 72 hours. The unit will receive the ost dependable
and interference free signal auto atically between Midnight and 4
AM.
When the unit is within range of radio signals, its radio-control
echanis will override all anual settings unless the signal re-
ception is anually deactivated.

When it is receiving radio signal, the radio-reception icon [ ]
(strong signal) or [ ] (weak signal) will start to blink. A co -
plete reception generally takes about 2 to 10 inutes, depending
on the strength of the radio signal. After that, the periodical scan-
ning will take only a few seconds.
When the reception is co plete, the radio-reception icon will stop
blinking and the radio-controlled ti e will be displayed accord-
ingly.
