Chapter 4: Atomic Clock Feature
The PIX-200 has the atomic clock (radio-controlled clock) feature which
displays the current time precisely by automatically receiving time code
signals on long wave radio from a transmitting station. The unit receives the
time code signal via its built-in antenna system.
PIX-200 can receive standard frequencies from the countries listed in the
following table.
