ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
When the unit is within range of its respective radio signal, the radio
control mechanism will override all manual settings unless radio
reception has been deactivated.
After battery installation (with the antenna plugged in), the unit will
start to search for a radio signal automatically. When it is receiving
radio signal, the radio-reception icon will start to blink. A complete
reception generally takes about 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the
strength of the radio signal.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.
Strong Weak No Reception Receiving
When the reception is complete, the radio-reception icon will appear
as [
] and the received radio-controlled time will be displayed
accordingly.
Interference
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception,
place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.
Note: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect the signal.
If, after batteries have been inserted for ten minutes, the signal is
not received, then set the time manually (see section: How To Set
The Clock & Calendar Manually).
