RADIO CONTROLLED

PROJECTION CLOCK

WITH DIGITAL THERMOMETER

MODEL:RM328PA

Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock with

Temperature Display RM328PA.

The RM328PA is a multifunction (RF) controlled clock. It can

automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought

within the radio signal WWVB generated from the US.

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.

Other features of the RM328PA include: displaying the current

indoor temperature, a current date display, daily crescendo alarm

with eight-minute snooze function and extra-large display.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

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

Replace the unit with new batteries when the low battery indicator

[ ] light up.

Note: Under normal circumstances, the batteries are good

for 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.

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.

To install the adapter:

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

2. Plug the adapter into the adapter socket.

Note: Making sure the voltage is correct, plug the other end

of the power adapter into a free wall socket.

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

projector for longer periods of time (such as throughout the night)

by slidingout the PROJECTIONLIGHTON - 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. The projection will also be on for five seconds.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RM328PA is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. The

clock time will automatically synchronize with WWVB-60 time-

signal transmission from the US when put within range. The benefit

of a RF controlled clock is that highly-accurate time is maintained

and manual adjustments to the time and date are not be required.

When the batteries are first installed, the RM328PA 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,shortperiodicreception-signalscanswillcommenceseveral

times a day.

The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

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

stop blinking.

Interference

Receptioncanbeaffectedbyanumberoffactors.Forbestreception,

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 Calendar Clock Manually).

“SECONDS” AND “WEEKDAY” DISPLAY

The “seconds” and the “weekday” share the same section of the

display.

month, day and display language.

4. For the display language, you can choose between (E) for

English, (F) for French and (S) for Spanish (see language chart

above).

5. When finished, press CLOCK to return to normal display. If

changes are made during the process, the seconds will reset and

start from zero.

HOW TO SET AND ACTIVATE

THE ALARM

Toset thealarm time:

1. Press and hold ALARMfor two seconds when the alarm time is

displayed.

2. Enterthevalueforthehourdigits.Press ALARMtoconfirmand

go to the minute digits. Enter the value and press ALARM to

confirm.

3. The alarm is automatically activated. To deactivate it, press

ALARMonce.

ALARM AND SNOOZE FUNCTION

When the alarm is set, it will activate at the set time. The back light

will go on for five seconds with the alarm-on icon [ ] flashing.

The crescendo function allows the alarm to start gently and step up

its intensity in three steps. Without interruption, the alarm will

activate for a minute.

To stop the alarm, press any key. If the [ ]

button is pressed, the snooze function will be triggered. The alarm

will stop for eight minutes before activating again.

INDOOR TEMPERATURE

The temperature is shown in Fahrenheit (°F). The RM328PA is

capable of measuring temperatures within the 23°F and 122°F

range. If the temperature goes above or below that, the display will

show“HHH”or“LLL”.

HOW TO RESET THE UNIT

The RESET button allows you to return all settings to its factory

values.

The button is required only when the unit is not operating in a

favorable way, such as in the rare case of a malfunction.

MAINTENANCE

When handled properly, this unit is engineered to give you years

of satisfactory service. Here are a few product care instructions:

1. Do not immerse the unit in water. If the unit comes in contact

with water, dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.

2. Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials.

Abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the plastic parts and

corrode the electronic circuit.

3. Do not subject the unit to excessive: force, shock, dust,

temperature, or humidity. Such treatment may result in

malfunction, a shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries, or

distorted parts.

4. Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so

will terminate the unit’s warranty and may cause damage. The

unit contains no user-serviceable parts.

5. Only use new batteries as specified in this instruction manual.

Do not mix new and old batteries as the old batteries may leak.

6. Read this instruction manual thoroughly before operating the

unit.
