The clock synchronizes with the MSF radio signal automatically
and daily from AM 1:00 am to 3:00 am to correct any time
deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful
(“radio tower" symbol disappears), a further synchronization
attempt is made from 4:00 am onward until success. This
process is repeated up until 5:00 am. If still not successful, daily
reception attempts stop for that day.
•
The flashing “radio tower” symbol is displayed, while MSF radio
signal reception is being sought.
•
A static “radio tower” symbol is displayed after successful MSF
radio signal reception.
•
Please keep a minimal distance of 2.5m between this unit and
sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens.
•
The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls
(e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. For extreme cases,
please put the clock near a window.
•
There is less atmospheric disturbance at night, so MSF radio time
signal reception is usually possible then. One synchronisation
per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy to within 1
second.
Tip
You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the
MSF radio signal (owing to radio interference, great distance from the
transmitter, obstructions such as mountains, etc.). As soon as the
radio signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.
MSF radio signal coverage extends up to 1500 km distance from the
Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria.
