MEANING  
The time and date are automatically updated by radio-  
controlled clock signals from official time-keeping  
organizations in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby  
(England) unless you disable this feature. The signals  
are collected by the remote sensor (RTGR328N)  
whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.  
The unit has lost contact with the
