Automatic clock setting

5.After approximately 3 minutes your clock radio will synchronise to the official UK standard time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby

in the U.K. The MSF indicator will stop flashing and the

correct time and date will appear in the display. Once synchronised to the radio time signal your clock radio will automatically switch from summer to winter time and vice versa.

6.If the MSF indicator continues to flash try to re-position your

clock radio or time capsule so as to improve reception of the radio time signal. (See also section headed Troubleshooting on page 21)

7.If the clock fails to set automatically due to local interference it may be necessary to set the clock manually - see section headed Manual clock setting.

MSF radio signal

At certain times of the year the MSF radio transmitter closes down for maintenance. During this time the clock will not automatically set (see the section headed Manual clock setting).

Recorded information on transmitter status can be obtained on 020 8943 6493.

Your clock radio will need to be set manually if the transmitter is closed down when your clock radio is first connected to the mains.

At all other times if the transmitter closes down your clock radio will continue to run on its own highly accurate internal quartz crystal time base.
