ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
This unit is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When located
within a 1500km or 1000 miles radius of radio signal from the U.S.
Atomic Clock. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that highly-
accurate time is maintained and manual adjustments to the time
and date are not required.

When the batteries are first installed, the unit will automatically
search for a radio signal.
When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This
process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial
search,shortperiodicreception-signal scanswillcommenceseveral

When the RM962A is new and initially set up, reception of the U.S.
Atomic clock signal can take up to 72 hours.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.
When the reception is complete, the radio-reception signal will
stop blinking.
