ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION [FIG. 3]
Model RM106A is designed to synchronize its calendar clock automatically once it is brought within range of the radio signal from the U.S. Atomic Clock. When the unit is new and just out of the box, synchronization with the U.S. Atomic Clock can take up to 72 hours. When the unit is receiving the 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 DOWN button for 2 seconds until the Radio Reception symbol disappears.
To enable the reception again, press and hold the UP button for 2 seconds. The Radio Reception symbol will blink and the unit will search for RF signal automatically.
Interference
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception, 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.
Note: Radio Frequency clocks 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 Atomic Clock contains a very accurate quartz movement and will retain precise time even if a signal is missed on a rare occasion.

SUR LA RECEPTION RADIO [FIG. 3]
Le modèle RM106A est conçu pour synchroniser automatiquement sa pendule calendrier dès qu’il se trouve dans le rayon du signal radio émis par la Pendule Atomique US. Quand l’appareil est neuf et qu’il vient d’être déballé, la synchronisation sur la Pendule Atomique US peut prendre jusqu’à 72 heures. Quand il reçoit le signal, le symbole de Réception radio se met à clignoter. En règle générale, une réception complète prend de 2 à 10 minutes en fonction de la force du signal.
Pour annuler manuellement la réception du signal RF, appuyer sur DOWN pendant deux secondes jusqu’à ce que le symbole de réception radio disparaisse.
Pour réactiver la réception, appuyer sur UP pendant deux secondes. Le symbole de réception radio se mettra à clignoter et l’appareil recherchera automatiquement le signal FR.
Interférences
La réception peut être gênée par un certain nombre de facteurs. Pour une meilleure réception, placer l’appareil à l’écart d’objets métalliques et appareils électriques. Les autres causes d’interférences avec le signal incluent tours de transmission électrique, constructions en béton armé et/ou cloisons métalliques.
Remarque : Les pendules à fréquence marchent mieux quand elles se trouvent près d’une fenêtre. Après réception du signal initial, les actualisations se font plus facilement. Bien que dans certaines zones il soit plus difficile de recevoir un signal, la Pendule Atomique renferme un mouvement à quartz très précis qui lui permet de conserver l’heure exacte même en cas de signal exceptionnellement manqué.
