WITH INDOOR - OUTDOOR THERMOMETER
MODEL NO.: JMR828A
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.

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

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.

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.
temperature display
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.

The unit is in searching mode.
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.
