Using the Radio Controlled Clock

Your scanner’s Clock displays all the time. When you turn off the radio functions, it also displays the current seconds and date. It can also be used as a standard alarm clock. Even though your scanner can set its time automatically from the nationwide NIST broadcast, since this signal is usually weak and can often only be received reliably at night in many areas, we recommend you manually set the time to get started.

Setting the Radio Controlled Clock Options

The radio controlled clock attempts to receive the time at the top of every hour (e.g. 12:00, 1:00, 2:00 and so on) until it receives the time. While it

is checking for the time, the dish icon ( ) flashes and the signal strength indicator appears to show the condition of the received NIST

signal. When it has successfully received the time, the dish icon ( ) will appear in the display. The dish remains steady for 24 hours from the last successful signal reception. Even with a good signal, it will take 2-5 minutes to set the time from the NIST signal.
