HOW TO SET THE CALENDAR CLOCK
MANUALLY
When the unit is outside of the radio signal generated from the
U.S Atomic Clock,
the unit may require manual setting.
Note: The RF controlled mechanism overrides manual
settings unless auto-reception of radio signal is being
deactivated. If manual settings are made, the clock will
periodically adjust the time to what is indicated by the
radio signal.
It is highly unlikely you should ever have the desire (or need ) to
manually set the clock time, year, month or date of the JMR828A
when it is within signal range of the Atomic clock.
However, in the event this becomes necessary please review the
following.
3. Replace the door so that it clicks into place.
Note: If not disposed of properly, batteries can be
harmful. Protect the environment by taking
exhausted batteries to authorized disposal stations.
Note: [ ] Low-battery indicator
Replace the batteries when the Low-battery indicator lights up.
ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The JMR828A is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When
located within radio signal range from the U.S Atomic Clock , the
clock time will automatically synchronize with time-signal
transmission. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that highly-
accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the time
and date are not required.
When the batteries are first installed, the JMR828A will
automatically search for a radio signal.
When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This
process takes between two (2) and (10) minutes. After initial
search
and synchronization with the Atomic clock , short periodic
reception-signal scans will commence several times a day.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

NO RECEPTION
RECEIVING
To deactivate the auto-reception of the radio signal, press and
hold [ZONE] for 2 seconds and the antenna icon will disappear.
To enable this auto-reception again, press and hold [
] for 2
seconds. The antenna icon will re-appear.
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 radio signal is not received, then set the time
manually (see section: How To Set The Calendar Clock
Manually).
“SECONDS” AND DAY-OF-THE-WEEK
DISPLAY
The “second” and the day-of-the-week share the same section of
the display.
