Automatic Tuning System (ATS)
1.
Place your radio on a flat surface and connect the mains plug to a wall
socket and switch on the wall socket.
When connected to power for the first time or if power is restored after
temporary loss the clock hands will set to the 12:00 o'clock position.
Automatic tuning system (ATS) will commence. Your clock radio will
start searching the FM band followed by MW and finally the LW band.
ATS will search and store stations in presets based on signal strength
order - up to 7 stations will be stored on FM, 7 on MW and 7 on LW.
Automatic clock setting
1.
After ATS completes your clock radio will display
-:-
and the MSF
indicator
will flash in the display.
2.
After approximately 3 minutes your clock radio will synchronise to the
official UK standard time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby
in the U.K. The MSF indicator
will stop flashing and the
correct time and date will appear in the LCD display.
The analogue clock movement will automatically move the hands to
the correct position.
Once synchronised to the radio time signal
the LCD and analogue clock will automatically switch from
summer to winter time and vice versa.
3.
If the MSF indicator
continues to flash try to re-position your
clock radio so as to improve reception of the radio time signal. (See
also section headed Troubleshooting on page 21)
4.
If the two clock displays fail to set automatically due to local interfer-
ence it may be necessary to set the clock manually - see section
headed Manual setting of the clock displays.
