Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock with

Temperature Display RM328P (RM328PU) .

The RM328P is a multifunction (RF) controlled clock. It can

automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought

within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio signal DCF77

generated from Frankfurt, Germany (the UK version from MSF

Rugby, England).

To facilitate nighttime reading, the unit comes with a projector that

can cast large, clear clock-time figures onto flat surfaces in dark. It

also has a back light for easy reading of the display.

OtherfeaturesoftheRM328Pinclude:displayingthecurrentindoor

temperature,acurrentdatedisplay,dailycrescendoalarmwitheight-

minute snooze function, and extra-large display.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The unit uses two (2) UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V batteries.

To insert batteries:

1. Press the door tab and click open the door.

2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown

therein.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

Note:Undernormalcircumstances,thebatteriesaregoodfor

1 year. However, the battery life can be reduced vastly by

frequent use of the back light, projector or snooze function.

If not disposed of properly batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries

to authorized disposal stations.

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

The projector projects the current time onto a wall or ceiling.

To project the time onto a flat surface:

In a darkened room, press [ ], the wall

projection will activate for approximately 5-seconds.

This unit has several features to enhance the clarity of the projected

image.

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

POWER ADAPTER

Your unit comes with a power adapter so you can use the projector

for extended periods of time.

Unit has received radio signal.

Clock is searching for radio signal but not yet

received. It is recommended that you reposition or

rotate the antenna.

The display time has been manually set and is not

synchronized to the RF signal.

Radio reception is disabled and no signal reception

will be initiated until it is enabled again.

When the antenna symbol blinks, a reception is going

on. A full reception takes approx. 2 to 10 minutes,

depending on the quality of the signal received.

The hourly scanning may take a few seconds only.

No indicator

To install the adapter:

1. Insert adapter into jack on the bottom of the unit.

2. Plug the adapter into the adapter socket.

Note:Making surethevoltageis correct,plugtheother end of

the power adapter into a free wall socket.

Once the power adapter is in place, you can select to turn on the

projectorforlonger periodsoftime, suchas throughout thenight, by

sliding out the PROJECTION LIGHT ON - switch on the back of

the unit. To turn off the projector, slide the switch back.

Note that this switch can only be used with the power

adapter installed. For momentary projection, use the

[ ].

HOW TO USE THE BACKLIGHT

Press [ ] once. The back light will activate

for five seconds.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RM328P is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When

locatedwithina1500kmradiusofradiosignal(DCF77)atFrankfurt,

Germany,theclocktimewillautomaticallysynchronizewithDCF77

time-signaltransmission.ThebenefitofaRFcontrolledclockisthat

highly-accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the

time and date are not be required.

(UK version within a 1500km radius of radio signal (MSF) from

Rugby, England)

When the batteries are first installed, the RM328P (RM328PU) will

automatically search for a radio signal.

When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This

process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial

search,shortperiodic reception-signal scanswillcommence several

times a day.

The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

When the reception is complete, the radio-reception signal will stop

blinking.

Interference

place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.

Note: Interferencefrom sources suchas TV sets can affectthe

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 Calendar Clock Manually).
