ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RM888PA will automatically synchronize current time and
date with the signal broadcast by the US Atomic Clock when the
product is in reception range of the signal. When the unit is new
and just out of the box, synchronization with the U.S. atomic clock
can take upto 72 hours. The unit will receive the most dependable
and interference free signal automatically between Midnight and 4
AM.
When the unit is within range of radio signals, its radio-control
mechanism will override all manual settings unless the signal re-
ception is manually deactivated.
