• Press and hold the ▼/°C/°F/ button again for 3 seconds while the MSF
symbol is flashing to deactivate the reception for the MSF signal. The
symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz
clock. (See “Manual setting of clock and calendar”).
• In case the clock cannot detect the MSF signal (for example due to dis-
turbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
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. During daylight saving mode DST appears
on the display. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geo-
graphic 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.
Note
• Do not touch any button during the reception of the MSF signal.
• Each button operation is acknowledged with a beep.
• The instrument will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is
pressed for 15 seconds.
