Instruction Manual  
INTRODUCTION  
A6  
Congratulations on purchasing the Jumbo RF Wall Clock with  
Indoor-Outdoor Thermometer (JMR828A).  
The JMR828A is a multifunctional radio frequency (RF) controlled  
clock. It is designed to automatically synchronize its current  
time and date when brought within range of the radio signal  
generated from the U.S Atomic clock.

A3  
Also, this unit displays outdoor and indoor temperature.  
A2  
Included in this package is a remote thermo-sensor. Place the  
thermo-sensor in a sheltered outdoor location within a 100 feet  
(30 meters) radius of the main unit and it will transmit outdoor  
temperature readings to the JMR828A.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION  
“second” display  
The JMR828A is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When  
located within radio signal range from the U.S Atomic Clock , the  
clock time will automatically synchronize with time-signal  
transmission. 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.  
The day-of-the-week is displayed as an abbreviation in three  
languages.  
When the batteries are first installed, the JMR828A will  
automatically search for a radio signal.  
Day-of-the-week  
Language  
Monday Tuesday Wed. Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday  
When in search mode, the antenna icon [  
] will blink. This  
English  
Spanish  
French  
process takes between two (2) and (10) minutes. After initial  
search and synchronization with the Atomic clock, short periodic  
reception-signal scans will commence several times a day.  
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.  
STRONG  
To change the “seconds” display to the day-of-the-week display:  
1. When the “seconds” are displayed, press [CLOCK] once.  
WEAK  
To change the day-of-the-week display to the “seconds” display:  
NO RECEPTION  
1. When the day-of-the-week is displayed, press [CLOCK] once.  
RECEIVING  
HOW TO SET THE CALENDAR CLOCK  
MANUALLY  
To deactivate the auto-reception of the radio signal, press and  
hold [ZONE] for 2 seconds and the antenna icon will disappear.  
To enable this auto-reception again, press and hold [  
seconds. The antenna icon will re-appear.  
] for 2  
When the unit is outside of the radio signal generated from the  
U.S Atomic Clock, the unit may require manual setting.  
Interference  
Reception can be affected by a number of factors. For best reception,  
place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.  
Note: The RF controlled mechanism overrides manual  
settings unless auto-reception of radio signal is being  
deactivated. If manual settings are made, the clock will  
periodically adjust the time to what is indicated by the  
radio signal.  
Note: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect  
the signal. If, after batteries have been inserted for ten  
minutes, the radio signal is not received, then set the time  
manually (see section: How To Set The Calendar Clock  
Manually).  
It is highly unlikely you should ever have the desire (or need ) to  
manually set the clock time, year, month or date of the JMR828A  
when it is within signal range of the Atomic clock.  
However, in the event this becomes necessary please review the  
following.  
“SECONDS” AND DAY-OF-THE-WEEK  
DISPLAY  
The “second” and the day-of-the-week share the same section of  
the display.

To manually set the clock:  
Note:  
1. Press [CLOCK] and hold for two seconds. The hour will start  
to flash.  
Reasons for not receiving a signal from the remote thermo  
sensor may include:  
1. The batteries of the remote sensor, the main unit, or both  
may be low. Low-battery icons should indicate that battery  
power is low and the batteries require changing.  
2. Enter the correct hour using the [ ] button. Hold to rapidly  
increase the value.  
3. Press [CLOCK] to confirm and proceed to set the minute.  
When the temperature falls below freezing point, the  
batteries will freeze. Frozen batteries will have a  
lower voltage and result in a lower transmission  
radius.  
Again, use the [ ] button to select the correct minute.  
4. Press [CLOCK] to proceed to set the year, month, day and  
language for day - of - week.  
5. When finished, press [CLOCK]. The time and date are now set.  
2. The transmission range is too far.  
Shorten the distance.  
6. To select the U.S. time - zone, press [ZONE] to toggle among  
Pacific(P), Mountains (M), Central(C) or Eastern (E).  
3. The transmission path is cluttered with obstacles and  
interference.  
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY  
Shorten the distance or reposition the remote sensor  
or the main unit.  
This unit displays temperature in °C or °F  
TEMPERATURE TREND INDICATORS  
The temperature-trend indicator show the trends of the collected  
remote temperature readings for the past half hour. Arrows indicate  
a rising, steady or falling trend.

The remote outdoor temperature display has a kinetic-wave display.  
The kinetic-wave display shows the signal-receiving status by  
the main unit. The are three possible forms.

Temperature readings are  
securely registered.  
Note : If the reading goes above or below the measuring  
range of the remote unit (stated in specification), the  
display will show "HHH" or "LLL".  
No signals  
NOTE: JMR828A can also scan for max 3 different remote  
temperature channels. To do so, simply press the CHANNEL  
button once to switch to the different channel.  
HOW TO RESET THE UNIT  
Press [RESET] to return all settings to the factory values.  
The button is used when the unit is not operating in a favorable  
way, such as in the rare case of a malfunction.  
SENSOR TRANSMISSION STATUS  
If blanks "----" appear on the remote temperature display of the  
main, then the unit is not receiving a signal from the remote  
thermo sensor. The user may be able to receive a signal by doing  
a signal search.  
HOW TO WALL MOUNT OR  
USE TABLE STAND  
MAIN UNIT  
Remote Sensor Signal Search:  
Flip the table stand open to place the unit on a steady, flat surface.  
Or use the recessed hole on the back to mount it on a wall.  
Press [THERMO] and [CHANNEL] together for 2 seconds. The  
unit will search for a remote thermo-sensor signal.  
If the unit still cannot receive a signal, check the batteries to  
ensure they are properly installed and have ample power. Try  
repositioning the units as they might be having a temperature  
transmission block due to signal interference.
