Battery installation and replacement
The unit uses 2 AAA
batteries.
To
install
or
replace
batteries, please slide
open the
battery compartment
(located
at the bottom of
the unit) by following the direction of the
arrow mark. Insert the batteries by following
the polarity marked and press the RESET
BUTTON once. Close the battery cover and
the unit is ready for use now.
When the display (or backlight) is dim or the
sound
quality drops, it means the battery
power is not
enough.
Please replace both
batteries
with
new ones.
To reset the unit, press the RESET
BUTTON once
(located
inside the battery
compartment).
CAUTION:
Never mix different type of batteries.
Receive the time radio signal
The unit will search for time radio signals
automatically when it is powered on. The
radio signal mark on the right of the time
digits
(
jj
)
will
start pulsing to show that
receiving is under progress. If time signal is
received, synchronization will take 3-15
minutes and the unit will show the received
time. The radio signal mark will show three
solid bars (pulsing stopped) and stay on the
display to indicate that reception 1s
successful.
NOTES:
1.
During radio signal reception, if setting
time or calendar is requested, radio signal
reception
will
be
terminated
immediately.
2.
To re-start the signal reception manually,
press the SET/RECEIVE BUTTON (a
beep sound will be emitted).
Select the appropriate time zone
Please select
the appropriate
time zone
before reception is started or, after radio
signal reception is completed. Otherwise the
unit
may
display incorrect time if the time
zone was not set. Above the
second
digits,
there are four marks
"P" "M" "C" "E"
representing the four time zones in US.
To set the time zone, press and hold the
SET/RECEIVE BUTTON until the year
digits flash
(
"setting year"
will
be
announced). The unit is now in
setting
mode.
Press the SET/RECEIVE BUTTON twice
and the time zone mark will flash (
"setting
time zone"
will
be
announced).
Set to
"P"
(PACIFIC)
/ "M"
(MOUNTAIN)
/ "C"
(CENTRAL)
I
"E" (EASTERN) time
zone
by pushing the UP or DOWN BUTTON.
After setting the appropriate
time
zone, press
and hold the SET/RECEIVE BUTTON until
the display
stopped
flashing (
"setting
complete"
will
be
announced)
to end the
setting mode.
ATTENTION:
During daytime, there may be too
much
external interference
that c a u s e s t h e
reception to
fail.
Under such situation,
please
set
the time
manually
because:
The unit has an automatic process
to
start
reception, when the clock is showing time
between 2-6am. At midnight, interference
drops to a minimum level and makes it a
perfect environment for time radio signal
reception.
If
the time of the clock is not set
manually when it fails a daytime reception
at the first time initiation, then the
automatic process may start in the
daytime every day (not during midnight)
and eventually keep the unit not receiving
the signal.
