2. GETTING STARTED
• Remove the battery door.
• Insert four new AAA size batteries as per the polarity information marked on the battery compartment
for clock (9) and flashlight (14).
• Replace the battery door.
• Once the battery is installed, the normal segments of the LCD will be shown before entering the
radio controlled time reception mode.
• The RC clock will automatically start scanning for the radio controlled time signal in 8 seconds.
Note:
If no display appears on the LCD after inserting the battery, press the “ RESET ” button by
using a metal wire. In some cases, you may not receive the signal immediately. Due to the atmos-
pheric disturbance, the best reception often occurs during night time.

icon will disappear from the display, and the unit will automatically attempt another synchronisa-
tion at 3:00 am. This procedure is repeated automatically again at 4:00 am if necessary.
• Each synchronisation 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 DCF signal, the “

1. Move the RC ON/OFF/DST to the RC ON position ( left ) to allow continuous automatic synchro-
nisation with the radio signal.
2. Move the RC ON/OFF/DST to the OFF position ( middle ) to deactivate the automatic synchroni-
sation without summer time.
3 Move the RC ON/OFF/DST to the DST position ( right ) to deactivate the automatic synchronisa-
tion and to activate the summer time.
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.
3.3 Manual clock setting (normal time)
