TIME CALIBRATION SIGNAL RECEPTION PRECAUTIONS
USING THE CLOCK
• This clock is able to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from
Rugby, England. Signal reception is possible within approximately
1,000 km of the transmitter.
• Even when the clock is within the reception range, signal reception is
impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the clock and signal source.
Any of the following procedures can be used to set current date and time.
• Auto receive of the time calibration signal
Rugby
1,000 kilometers
• Manual receive of the time calibration signal
• Manual setting without using the time calibration signal
Auto Receive
• The clock receives the time calibration signal eight times each day (1:00, 4:00, 7:00, 10:00, 13:00, 16:00, 19:00,
• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and
seasonal changes.
22:00).
• A signal receive operation takes from two to ten minutes under good signal conditions.
• A receive indicator shows the current status of the receive operation.
• The time calibration signal is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of
this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well
as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal
atmosaheric changes or the time of day may change the reception
range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
• Reception is best when the back of the clock is facing toward Rugby.
Note, however, that moving the clock while the time calibration signal
receive operation is taking place will make stable reception impossible.

• Think of the clock as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration signal.When receiving indoors,
move to a location as near as possible to a window. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible
under the conditions listed below.
Unsuccessful Signal Reception
The antenna icon disappears from the display when a signal receive operation is unsuccessful. If this happens,
try changing the position or orientation of the clock, and press the WAVE button (4) to receive again.
Manual Receive
• Press the WAVE button (4) to start a calibration signal receive operation.
• Use the WAVE button (4) to perform a receive operation after replacing the clock’s batteries or if the auto
receive operation was not performed correctly for some reason.
• The clock beeps and display illumination flashes for about three seconds when a receive operation trigged by the
WAVE button (4) is successful.

• When using the clock in an area that is outside of the range of the transmitter in Rugby or in an area where signal
reception is impossible for some reason, you need to manually adjust the time as required.
1. Press the SET button (3) to cycle through the setting screens as shown below.
• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
• Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.
• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
• The alarm does not operate during signal reception.

To replace main unit batteries
• You can set the year in the range of 2000 to 2039. The day of the week is set automatically in accordance with
the date setting.
Replace batteries whenever the display of the clock becomes dim and difficult to read.
1. Open the battery compartment cover as shown in the illustration.
2. Remove all of the old batteries.
• Pressing + or – while the Time Setting Screen is on the display causes the seconds count to be reset to 00.
• Each press of + or – while the 12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Screen is on the display toggles between 12-hour
and 24-hour timekeeping.
3. Load a full set of new batteries. Make sure that their positive (+) and negative (–) ends face in the correct
directions. If you load batteries incorrectly, they can burst and damage the clock.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
3. After making the settings you want, use the SET button (3) to display the Normal Timekeeping Screen.
• The clock automatically returns to the Normal Timekeeping Screen if you leave a setting screen on the display for
about three minutes without performing any operation.
5. Press the RESET button (6). Be sure to press the RESET button (6) after replacing batteries.
To replace sub-unit batteries
1. Open the stand so you can see the back cover.

Location
• Place the sub-unit in a location where it will not be exposed to rain, direct sunlight, or other elements.
• Locating the sub-unit near a device that transmits radio signals using the same frequency as this product can
cause communication failure of this product.
• Avoid using multiple products in the same area. Doing so can cause mixing of their signals.
