General Information and Operating Instructions  

Thank you for purchasing the MFJ-186RC Radio Controlled Watch. Please read these 

instructions carefully before use. 
 
The MFJ-186RC works by receiving the time radio signal generated by the US Atomic Clock located in Ft.

the signal will have to set the time manually. The Atomic Clock in Colorado is operated by the US Department

1. 

Avoid placing the watch near television sets, metal surfaces, computers, or any other electrical 
device that may interfere with the reception of the radio signal.
