Oregon Scientific Rm318p User manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchasing the RM318P RF Pro-

jection Clock. The RM318P is a feature-packed device

which automatically synchronizes its current time and date

when it is brought within an approximate 1500km radius of

the radio signal generated from Frankfurt, Germany

(DCF77).

To facilitate reading time at night, the RM318P comes with

an adjustable projector which can project the time in large,

readable figures on the wall or ceiling in dark. Or you can

use its backlight function for a quick check.

The RM318P is primarily radio-controlled. However, it

The RM318P is designed to automatically synchronize its

clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt

DCF77 radio signal. It will scan and adjust every full hour.

nismwilloverride allmanualsettings.Time willstartto run

from 00:00:00 and date, 1-1 (January 1), Monday.

When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RE-

CEPTION SIGNAL will start to blink. A complete recep-

tiongenerallytakesabout2to10minutes,dependingonthe

strength of the radio signal. After that, the hourly scanning

will only take a few seconds.

When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION
