obstructions, and remote unit location.
NOTESignalsfromhouseholddevicessuchasdoorbells,
electronic garage doors, and home security systems
may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal
and does not affect general product performance. The
reception will resume once the interference ends.
CLOCK
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time
and date when it is brought within range of the radio
signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for
CentralEurope(modelBAR628HG)orMSF60generated
from Anthorn, England (model BAR628HGU).
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when
it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.
