RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK:
The RM832A 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 receiving radio signal, the reception icon will start to blink. The reception icon will show either strong, weak or no signal depending on the strength of the radio signal. A complete reception generally takes about 2 to 5 minutes. When the reception is completed the reception icon will stop blinking. The reception icon will show [I] for no Reception or [MODE] for successful reception. For best signal reception, place the RM832A away from other equipment that emit RF or microwave signals such as TV's, radios, PC's or microwave ovens. Other causes for signal interference include electrical power transmission towers, steel reinfoced concrete construction, and/or metal siding. You may need to reposition the clock for maximum reception. Radio Frequency appliances and radios, such as the Radio Controlled Alarm Clock, 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 RM832A Alarm Clock contains very accurate quartz movement and will retain precise time even if a signal is missed on a rare occasion.
The signal strength indicator icon is displayed immediately to the left of the time display.
