The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines 
such as microphone/earphone cables. 

 

RTC (Real Time Clock) 

The RTC function is provided to keep time information with low power consumption even 
when the LN920 is turned off. It is also provided to enable alarm wake-up when the LN920 
is turned off.
