ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION [FIG. 3]
RM982A is designed to synchronize its calendar clock automatically once it is
brought within range of the radio signal from the U.S. Atomic Clock.
When the
unit is new and just out of the box, synchronization with the U.S. Atomic Clock
can take up to 72 hours .
When the unit is receiving signal, the Radio Reception symbol will start to blink.
Generally, complete reception takes around 2 to 10 minutes depending on the
strength of the radio signal.
To disable the reception of RF signal manually, press and hold the DOWN
button for 2 seconds until the Radio Reception symbol disappear.
To enable the reception again, press and hold the UP button for 2 seconds. The
Radio Reception symbol will blink and the unit will search for RF signal
automatically.
Interference
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception, place the
device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.
Other causes for signal
interference include electrical power transmission towers, steel reinforced
concrete construction, and/or metal siding.
Note:
Radio Frequency appliances such as the Projection Alarm Clock perform
best when placed near a window. After receiving the initial signal, updates are
accomplished with greater ease. Even though there are areas that may have
more difficulty in receiving a signal, the Projection Alarm Clock contains very
accurate quartz movement and will retain precise time even if a signal is missed
on a rare occasion.
HOW TO SET THE CLOCK AND CALENDAR
MANUALLY [Fig. 4] & [Fig. 5]
It is unlikely that you will want or need to manually set the Alarm Clock.
Should the need or desire to manually set the clock arise, please follow

.The default
clock setting is 1st of January, 2001; 12:00pm (Pacific zone-time) with hour-
offset preset as -8 hours. Please note that upon successful reception of the
signal from the U.S. Atomic Clock, the time display will be adjusted to
Pacific zone-time automatically. You can set the offset-hour as follow in order
to display the other US time-zones:
- 7 — Mountain
- 6 — Central
- 5 — Eastern
Otherwise, you can change the offset-hour to display other zone-time outside
the U.S. (Fig 6).
