How to use

Place the clock on a stable horizontal surface with good reception for radio signals, ideally near a window if indoor reception is weak. Insert the required batteries following the polarity markings and allow the clock to receive the radio time signal; initial synchronization can take several minutes. Use the dedicated buttons to set or adjust the alarm time and to toggle the alarm on or off. If manual time adjustment is necessary, use the time-setting controls and then allow the unit to resynchronize automatically when the next radio signal is received.

Usage recommendations

For reliable radio reception, avoid placing the clock near large metal objects or electronic devices that may cause interference. Replace batteries promptly when low to ensure continuous timekeeping and alarm function. When traveling to regions with different time-signal standards, verify local compatibility or set time manually if radio signal is not available.
