ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

When the unit is within range of its respective radio signals, its

radio-control mechanism will override all manual settings unless

radio reception is deactivated.

After battery installation, the unit will start to search for radio

signal automatically. Auto-synchronization with the U.S. Atomic

Clock can take up to 72 hours . When it is receiving radio signal, the

radio-reception icon will start to blink. A complete reception

generally takes about 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the strength

of the radio signal. After that, the periodical scanning will only

take a few seconds.

The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.
