ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The split-second, precise timeliness of RMR166 is achieved through
its internal radio receiver that responds to a special 60kHz
frequency radio signal generated by the US Atomic Clock.
The RMR-166 synchronizes the time and date with the Atomic
Clock's signal and also automatically adjusts for daylight savings
time.
The RMR-166 will automatically activate its antenna upon battery
insertion and should receive the US Atomic Clock signal in about
3 - 7 minutes. However, if the RMR-166 is new allow up to 72
hours for the unit to receive the initializing signal. The strongest
signal reception usually occurs between midnight and 4:00 AM. If
the RMR-166 has not picked up a signal after 48 hours, remove
the batteries, allow the unit to clear it settings and then reinsert the
batteries. Once the RMR-166 has received the initializing signal,
updates are accomplished with greater ease.
IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the time zone until AFTER the
clock has picked up the signal.
NOTE: Signal Strength: The RMR-166, like other radio
frequency equipment, is most effective when it is placed near a
window. The RMR-166 may need to be moved or repositioned to
receive a stronger signal. For better reception, place the clock
away from metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize
interference.
On the bottom line of the LCD screen, immediately to the left of
the time display, is an icon indicating the signal reception strength
is displayed. Please note that while the RMR-166 is receiving a
signal, the “receiving” icon will flash; once the signal reception is
complete, the icon will stop flashing.
