7. Operation
Remove the protection pin before first use! Dispose
of it in a safe way.
Do not attempt to reinsert the pin afterwards as
this will surely damage the clock.
1. Insert a battery in the battery compartment (see below). All
hands will move forward towards 12:00. Note: when the original
position of the second hand is between 11:55 and 12:00, the
second hand will make a full turn before stopping at 12:00. The
same happens with the minute hand when the original position
is between 11:52 and 12:00.
2. Choose a location for the clock (see 6. Working principle).
3. Wait until the clock receives the synchronization signal from the
master clock. This might take up to 15 minutes. Note that the
received signal is usually stronger at night time.
4. Once synchronized, the hands will start moving towards the
correct time.
5. When the clock does not receive the radio-signal, it will start
running showing the wrong time. However, it will keep
attempting to synchronize.
Manual setting
It is possible to set the time manually, e.g. for use in places where
no radio-signal is received.
Press and hold the manual setting button. After ± 3 seconds the
minutes and hour hands start moving. Hold down the manual
setting and release a couple of minutes before desired time
setting. Press the manual setting button repeatedly until the
desired time indication is reached. When no press is detected
within 10 seconds, the clock starts running.
Forced receiving
To force the clock to synchronize, press and hold the forced
reception button for ± 3 seconds. The current time is stored in
memory and all hands will start moving towards 12:00. The clock
attempts to synchronize with the master clock.
