ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
BAR898HG is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar
clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77
radio signal. When the unit is within range, its radio-control
mechanism will override all manual settings unless auto-reception
of radio signal has been manually deactivated.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the radio reception icon
will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 2
to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
When the reception is complete, the radio reception icon will
stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour
will be indicated.
For better reception, place the unit away from metal objects and
electrical appliances to minimize interference.
