INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Clock with Temperature

Display RM962/RM962U .

The RM962 is a multifunction radio 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 (RM962U - the UK version

from MSF-60 Rugby, England).

Features of this unit include: indoor temperature display, current

date display, daily crescendo alarm with eight-minute snooze

function and EL backlight.

Note:Thebatterylife can bereducedvastly by frequentuseof

the back light 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 BACKLIGHT

Press SNOOZE once. The back light will activate for five seconds.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

This unit is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When located

within a 1500km radius of radio signal (DCF77) at Frankfurt,

Germany,theclocktimewillautomaticallysynchronizewithDCF77

time-signal transmission. 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.

PRECAUTIONS

Thisunitisengineeredtogiveyouyearsofsatisfactoryserviceifyou

handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions.

1. Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid over it, dry

it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.

2. Do not clean the unit with any alcohol containing detergent,

abrasive or corrosive materials. They may scratch the plastic

parts and corrode the electronic circuit.

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

temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction,

shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted

parts.

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

will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause

unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable

parts.

5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s instructions.

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

6. Always read the user’s instructions thoroughly before operating

the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE — RM962

Warning:

- For other cases not listed in the above, feel free to contact our help line

- Do not dissemble the unit. This will void the warranty

Possible Cause

Auto-reception of clock radio signal has

been disabled

(1) The measurement method is different

(2) The area under evaluation is different or

being influenced by climate

Theclock radiosignal isnot receivedbecause:

- Electromagnetic interference exist, or the

Main Unit is located within reinforced

concrete wall or shadowed area location

- Orientation of placement is not at

optimum position for reception of clock

radio signal

Remedy

Enable this function by following the

instructions in the User’s Manual

(1) Use the same instruments with

consideration of the tolerance of

readings

(1) Place the 2 instruments very closely for

a time period (no less then 30 minutes),

avoiding direct light and air movements

- Locate the Main Unit far from PC,

mobile phone etc and re-locate it near

the window sill. Wait at least 24 hours

(note: during night-time signal is less

attenuate particularly after raining)

- The clock radio signal is searched at

1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, 21:00

every day automatically

- To force the signal reception please refer

to instructions in the User’s manual

INTRODUZIONE

Congratulazioni per l’acquisto dell’Orologio con Indicatore di

temperatura RM962/RM962U.

L’RM962 è un orologio multifunzionale estremamente preciso

perché regolato a radiofrequenza. È in grado di sincronizzare

automaticamente l’ora e la data attuali quando è utilizzato entro il

raggio di 1500 km del segnale radio generato da Francoforte

(DCF77). (RM962U — la versione per il Regno Unito — opera

invece nel raggio del segnale radio MSF-60 generato da Rugby,

Inghilterra).

Le funzioni dell’orologio includono: indicazione di temperatura

interna, data attuale, suoneria a volume crescente con funzione

snooze di 8 minuti e retroilluminazione.

DESCRIZIONE DEI COMPONENTI

A. LCD a 3 sezioni
