Note for radio-controlled time MSF:
The MSF radio time code is controlled by a cesium atomic clock situated in
England. The time is coded and transmitted via frequency signal MSF (60
kHz) and is available across the whole of the UK and beyond. Your radio-
controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise
time in summer or winter time. The quality of the reception depends
greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no
reception problems within the UK.
Please take note of the following:
•
The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•
Within Ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received
signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit
close to a window.
•
During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is ade-
quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
6. Getting started
•
Open the battery compartment and insert a new battery 1,5 V AA.
Ensure battery polarity is correct. Close the battery compartment again.
•
The unit is now ready to use.
•
After inserting the battery the pointers move to 12 o’clock and the
clock is trying to receive the radio signal for 3-12 minutes. When the
time code is received, the radio-controlled time will be shown. The
reception will be tried 12 times every day.
•
If the reception fails choose a different place and start the reception
manually.
•
Press and hold the REC button for 3 seconds.
•
The pointers will move again to 12 o’clock and the clock will scan the
MSF frequency signal again.
6.1 Manual setting of the clock
•
In case the clock cannot detect the MSF-signal (for example due to dis-
turbances, transmitting distance, etc.) the time can be set manually. The
clock will then work as a normal quartz clock.
•
Press and hold the M.SET button for manual time setting.
•
The second pointer stops moving.
