ON
Switching on
1.
Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug the mains lead into a wall socket
and switch on.
2.
The built in microprocessor will automatically activate the Radio
Controlled clock and initiate a search for the time signal. When first
connected to the mains supply the
MSF signal indicator
shows the
MSF signal level.
3.
Rotate your clock radio or change its position until the highest signal
level is obtained.
4.
It is recommended that your clock radio is placed as far away as
possible from any sources of interference such as computers or
televisions, etc.
5.
When your clock radio is receiving the radio time signal, the seconds
digits will appear in the display and the colon will flash once every
second in time with the radio time signal. When the time setting
process has been completed, the exact time and day of the week will
appear in the display. The
MSF signal indicator
becomes the
Day
of week
indicator after initial time setting has taken place.
Your clock radio will automatically switch from summer to winter time and
vice versa by following the radio time signal. The
Automatic summer
time indicator
will light up during summer time.

Automatic clock setting
When switched on your clock radio will receive and synchronise to one of the most accurate clocks in the world. The signal is received from the official
UK standard frequency and time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby in the U.K.
At certain times of the year the MSF transmitter closes down for maintenance during this time it will be necessary to set the clock manually (see the
sections headed Setting the Time and Date Manually). Recorded information on transmitter status can be obtained on 020 8943 6493.
Your clock radio will automatically synchronise with the MSF time signal when the transmitter is switched back on. The time setting or synchronisation
takes 2 to 3 minutes to complete if the reception of the radio time signal is undisturbed. This process will take longer if the time signal level is very weak
(e.g. in locations that are a long distance from the MSF transmitter) or if it is subject to interference from thunderstorms, nearby TV sets, computers or
household appliances that are not suppressed, etc. In general your clock radio will receive the time signal at any place where a radio is able to receive
Long Wave broadcast programmes well.
