within range of the U.S. Atomic Clock.

The unit comes with a projector that in the dark can project large,

clear clock-time digits onto the flat surfaces. It also has a nightlight

at the back of the unit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

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

To insert batteries:

1. Slide the battery door in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert the batteries according to the polarities shown therein.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

4. Press the [RESET] button.

When the low battery indicator [ ] is shown on the display,

replace with fresh batteries.

Note: Under normal circumstances, the batteries are good for 1

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

use of the projector or snooze function.

If not disposed of properly batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries

to authorized disposal stations.

MOMENTARY PROJECTION FEATURE

Press [ SNOOZE ] and the projection will be activated for

approximately 5 seconds.

Note: Make sure the [ PROJECTION ON ] switch is switched to the

front i.e. it is in the “Off” position.

CONTINUOUS PROJECTION FEATURE

WITH POWER ADAPTER

RM813PA comes with an AC power adapter. Use of the AC power

adapter is required for continuous time projection.

To install the adapter:

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

2. Plug the adapter into an electrical wall outlet.

Note: Make sure the voltage is correct.

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

projector for longer time (such as throughout the night) by sliding

the [ PROJECTION ON ] switch (located on the side of the unit) to

thebacki.e.itisinthe“On”position.Toturnofftheprojector,slide

the switch to the front to the “Off” position.

Note that this switch can only be used with the power

adapter. For momentary projection, use the [ SNOOZE ].

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

RM813PA is designed to synchronize its calendar clock

automatically once it is brought within range of the U.S. Atomic

Clock.When theunitis newandjust outofthe box,synchronization

with the U.S. atomic clock can take up to 72 hours. The unit will

receive the most dependable and interference free signal

automatically between Midnight and 4 AM.

When the unit is receiving signal, the Radio Reception symbol

[] will start to blink. Generally, complete reception takes

around 2 to 10 minutes depending on the strength of the radio

signal.

To disable the reception of RF signal manually, press and hold the

[ ZONE ] button for 3 seconds until the Radio Reception symbol

and the US-map outline disappear.

To enable the reception again, press and hold the [ ] button for

3 seconds. The Radio Reception symbol and the US-map outline

will blink and the unit will search for RF signal automatically.

place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.

Other causes for signal interference include electrical power

transmission towers, steel reinforced concrete construction, and/

or metal siding.

When the icon [ ]. appears on the display, re-locate the unit to

enhance better reception of radio signal.

Note: Radio Frequency appliances such as the Projection Alarm

Clock perform best when placed near a window. After receiving the

initial signal, updates are accomplished with greater ease. Even

though there are areas that may have more difficulty in receiving

a signal, the Projection Alarm Clock contains very accurate quartz

movement and will retain precise time even if a signal is missed on

a rare occasion.
