Radio control feature
This clock has a radio control feature and has been manufactured to receive a radio
signal from transmission waves. This signal enables the clock to set to the correct time
and date automatically. The radio control feature also changes the time from British
summer to winter time automatically and vice-versa.
The UK transmitter is based in Anthorn, Cumbria, and typically has a reaching distance
of up to 745 miles or 1,200 kilometres.
If the clock does not set automatically it could be because the clock is not receiving a
strong signal. This could be due to where the clock is positioned. It is recommended
that the clock should be left by a window (that does not have metal security bars) in
order to receive a strong signal. The clock constantly receives a radio signal, although
the signal is usually stronger during the night. The clock should set to the time and
date relatively quickly, but you should allow at least an hour for this to happen.
Certain electrical equipment such as a television or computer, and some metallic
objects may affect the radio signal, so it is advised that the clock is not left by such
equipment.
The clock time and date can be set manually and details of how to do this are included
below. This is essential for use outside of the UK.
Please note:
If using outside of the UK, but within the 745 mile radius of the UK radio
signal transmitter, the clock will still pick up a signal and will automatically set to the UK
time.
Time and date announcements
To hear a time or date announcement press the large "Talk" button on top of the clock;
once for the time, or press and hold to hear the time followed by the date, (announced
in order as follows: date, month, year and day).
Setting procedures
The "Mode" and "Set" buttons on the base of the clock are used to set up the clock.
The square "Mode" button on the left is used to cycle through the various clock
functions and the round "Set" button on the right is used to change the setting when in
a particular mode.
Please note: If no button has been pressed for 60 seconds when using the mode
settings the clock will revert back to current time and date announcement mode
and the clock will then announce the current time and date set.
