• Remove the battery door
• Insert two new AAA batteries as per the polarity marked on the
battery compartment
• Replace the battery door
• Once the battery is installed, the normal segments of the LCD
will be shown before entering the radio controlled (RC) time
reception mode.
• The RC clock will automatically start scanning for the radio con
trolled time signal in 8 seconds
• Everyday at 2:00 am , the unit automatically caries out the
synchronization procedures with the WWWB signal to correct a
any deviations to the exact time. If the attempt is not successful,
the “signal tower“ icon will disappear from display, and the unit
will automatically attempt another synchronization at 3:00 am. This
procedure is repeated automatically again at 4:00am if necessary.
• Each synchronization process will take between 3 to 16 minutes,
depending on the signal strength received. If no signal is detected,
the unit will automatically exit the process in 6 minutes.
• Once the unit is synchronized successfully to the WWWB radio
signal, the “signal tower“ icon will be turned on until 2:00 am of the
following day.
• The unit also conducts periodic checking of WWWB radio signals
at 8:00am, 2:00pm,and 8:00pm. Any successful attempts at these
three hours will lead to the continuous on of “signal tower“ until 2:00
am, of the following day.
• To manually start the WWWB signal reception, press the WAVE
button. User may also cancel the process by pressing the WAVE
button again.
• After insertion of batteries, the unit automatically starts to search
for the WWWB radio controlled signal, as indicated by the flashing
“signal tower“ icon.
• When the radio signals received, the time and date will be set
automatically.
If no display appears on the LCD after inserting the battery, press the “
RESET
”
button by using the metal wire. In some cases, you may not receive the signal
immediately. Due to the atmospheric disturbance, the best reception often occurs
during the nighttime.

Users can use these settings to turn off the RC when they are in regions where they
cannot or are not permitted to receive a radio signal . The changeover of summer
time will be based on the manually set time and date, and on cities that implement
summer time.
1. Move the
RC ON / OFF / DST
to the
RC ON
position (left) to
allow continuous atomic synchronization with the radio signal.
2. Move the
RC ON / OFF / DST
to the
OFF
position (middle) to
deactivate the automatic synchronization without summer time.
3. Move the
RC ON / OFF / DST
to the
DST
position (right) to
4. Deactivate the automatic synchronization and to activate the
summer time.
