Example:

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The RM888PA will automatically synchronize current time and

date with the signal broadcast by the US Atomic Clock when the

product is in reception range of the signal. When the unit is new

and just out of the box, synchronization with the U.S. atomic clock

can take upto 72 hours. The unit will receive the most dependable

and interference free signal automatically between Midnight and 4

AM.

When the unit is within range of radio signals, its radio-control

mechanism will override all manual settings unless the signal re-

ception is manually deactivated.

When it is receiving radio signal, the radio-reception icon [ ]

(strong signal) or [ ] (weak signal) will start to blink. A com-

plete reception generally takes about 2 to 10 minutes, depending

on the strength of the radio signal. After that, the periodical scan-

ning will take only a few seconds.

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

blinking and the radio-controlled time will be displayed accord-

ingly.

Icon [•] will be displayed if such reception is not successful. To

enforce such reception again, press and hold [▲] for 2 seconds.

For better reception of radio signals, place the clock away from

metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.

HOW TO ENABLE OR DISABLE

AUTO-RECEPTION

Ifyou wish to disable radio signal auto-receptionwhile the unit is within

range, press and hold [ ▼ ] button for 2 seconds.The radio-reception

icon on the analog clock display will disappear and the unit will NOT

reception icon will be shown again and the analog clock display will

start blinking to initiate radio signal reception.
