Note for radio-controlled time MSF:
The MSF radio time code is controlled by a caesium 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 pre-
cise time in summer or wintertime. 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.
5. Getting started
•
Insert one new battery AA size 1.5 V with the polarity as indicated.
• Your clock is now ready to use.
• After the initial setup, the pointers move to 12 o’clock and will try to
receive the radio signal for 3-12 minutes. When the time code is
received, the radio-controlled time will be shown. The clock receives the
signal twice a day (1:00 and 3:00 am). During the reception the second
hand stops at 12 o’clock.
5.1 REC button
• Manual initialization can be helpful. Press the REC button for
3 seconds. The second hand stops and the clock will scan the MSF fre-
quency signal.

5.2 M SET button - Manual setting of 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 M SET button for three seconds.
• Hold the button until the desired time is indicated.
• Press the button briefly the pointer moves minute by minute.
• The second hand stops at 12 o’clock.
• After 30 seconds or when pressing the REC button the second pointer is
moving forward again.
• The manually set time will be overwritten by the MSF time when the
signal is received successfully.
5.3 RESET button
•
Use a pin to press the RESET button if the unit does not work properly.
