Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Clock with Temperature

Display RM962/RM962U .

The RM962 is a multifunction radio controlled clock. It can

automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought

within an approximate 1500 km radius of the radio signal DCF77

generated from Frankfurt, Germany (RM962U - the UK version

from MSF-60 Rugby, England).

Features of this unit include: indoor temperature display, current

date display, daily crescendo alarm with eight-minute snooze

function and EL backlight.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The unit uses two (2) UM-4 or “AAA” size 1.5V batteries.

To insert batteries:

1. Click open the battery door as shown.

2. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown

therein.

3. Replace the battery compartment door.

Note: The battery life can be reduced vastly by frequent use

of the back light or snooze function.

If not disposed of properly batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries

to authorized disposal stations.

HOW TO USE THE BACKLIGHT

Press [ ] once. The back light will activate

for five seconds.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

This unit is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. When located

within a 1500km radius of radio signal (DCF77) at Frankfurt,

Germany,theclocktimewillautomaticallysynchronizewithDCF77

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 be required.

(RM962U - UK version within a 1500km radius of radio signal

(MSF-60) from Rugby, England)

When the batteries are first installed, the unit will automatically

search for a radio signal.

When in search mode, the antenna icon [ ] will blink. This

process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial

search,shortperiodicreception-signalscanswillcommenceseveral

times a day.

The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.

When the reception is complete, the radio-reception signal will

stop blinking.

Interference

Receptioncanbeaffectedbyanumberoffactors.Forbestreception,

place the device away from metal objects and electrical appliances.

Note: Interference from sources such as TV sets can affect

the signal. If, after batteries have been inserted for ten

minutes, the signal is not received, then set the time manually

(see section: How To Set The Calendar Clock Manually).

To deactivate the auto-reception of RF signal, press and hold both

[ ] and [ ] buttons for 2 seconds. The antenna icon will

disappear to show this deactivation.

To activate the auto-reception again, press and hold both buttons

for 2 seconds again and the antenna icon will re-appear.

“SECONDS” AND DAY-OF-THE-WEEK

DISPLAY

The “seconds” and the day-of-the-week share the same section of

the display.

PRECAUTIONS

This unit is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if

you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions.

1. Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid over it, dry

it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.

2. Do not clean the unit with any alcohol containing detergent,

abrasive or corrosive materials. They may scratch the plastic

parts and corrode the electronic circuit.

3. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust,

temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction,

shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted

parts.

4. Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so

will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause

unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable

parts.

5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s instructions.

Do not mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak.

6. Always read the user’s instructions thoroughly before operating

the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE — RM962

Warning:

- For other cases not listed in the above, feel free to contact our help line

- Do not dissemble the unit. This will void the warranty

Possible Cause

Auto-reception of clock radio signal has

been disabled

(1) The measurement method is different

(2) The area under evaluation is different or

being influenced by climate

Theclock radio signal is not received because:

- Electromagnetic interference exist, or the

Main Unit is located within reinforced

concrete wall or shadowed area location

- Orientation of placement is not at

optimum position for reception of clock

radio signal

Remedy

Enable this function by following the

instructions in the User’s Manual

(1) Use the same instruments with

consideration of the tolerance of

readings

(1) Place the 2 instruments very closely for

a time period (no less then 30 minutes),

avoiding direct light and air movements

- Locate the Main Unit far from PC,

mobile phone etc and re-locate it near

the window sill. Wait at least 24 hours

(note: during night-time signal is less

attenuate particularly after raining)

- The clock radio signal is searched at

1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, 21:00

every day automatically

- To force the signal reception please refer

to instructions in the User’s manual
