Automatic clock setting
When switched on your clock radio will receive and synchronise to one of the most accurate clocks in the world. The signal is received from the official
UK standard frequency and time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby in the U.K.
At certain times of the year the MSF transmitter closes down for maintenance during this time it will be necessary to set the clock manually (see the
sections headed Setting the Time and Date Manually). Recorded information on transmitter status can be obtained on 020 8943 6493.
Your clock radio will automatically synchronise with the MSF time signal when the transmitter is switched back on. The time setting or synchronisation
takes 2 to 3 minutes to complete if the reception of the radio time signal is undisturbed. This process will take longer if the time signal level is very weak
(e.g. in locations that are a long distance from the MSF transmitter) or if it is subject to interference from thunderstorms, nearby TV sets, computers or
household appliances that are not suppressed, etc. In general your clock radio will receive the time signal at any place where a radio is able to receive
Long Wave broadcast programmes well.
Switching on
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug the mains lead into a wall socket
and switch on.
ON
2. The built in microprocessor will automatically activate the Radio
Controlled clock and initiate a search for the time signal. When first

General
Fuse
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. It is recommended
that the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of
quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the
MW or LW bands.
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug
(BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in the
plug, adaptor or distribution board.
