ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The JM828WF is designed to automatically synchronize its current
time and date when brought within range of the DCF77 or the
MSF60 (Model JM828WFU) RF signal.
When the unit is within range, its radio-control mechanism will
override all manual settings.
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 two to 10 minutes.
When the reception is completed the reception icon will stop
blinking. The reception icon will show [
] for no reception or
[ ] for successful reception.
For better reception of radio signals, place the clock away from
metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.
To disable the auto-reception feature, hold down the [
] and
[
] buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The Antenna Icon
[
] will appear but it will not blink. The unit will NOT respond
to radio signals.
To enable the feature again, hold down the buttons again. The
Antenna Icon [
] signal will start blinking to initiate
reception automatically.
Note
: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect the
signal. If, after batteries have been inserted for ten minutes, the
DCF-77 signal is not received, then set the time manually (see
below, How To Set The Calendar Clock Manually).
