TIME CALIBRATION SIGNAL RECEPTION PRECAUTIONS
•
This clock is able to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from
Rugby, England. Signal reception is possible within approximately
1,000 km of the transmitter.
•
Even when the clock is within the reception range, signal reception is
impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the clock and signal source.
•
Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and
seasonal changes.
•
The time calibration signal is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of
this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well
as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal
atmosaheric changes or the time of day may change the reception
range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
•
Reception is best when the back of the clock is facing toward Rugby.
Note, however, that moving the clock while the time calibration signal
receive operation is taking place will make stable reception impossible.
•
Think of the clock as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration signal.When receiving indoors,
move to a location as near as possible to a window. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible
under the conditions listed below.
