To improve initial synchronization or when the
signal strength falls to 2 bars or below, signal
may be improved by twisting the base stand to
the flat position.
The synchronization procedure is automatic
when the above steps are followed. To indicate
that the receiver circuit is in operation, the
Antenna Icon on the LCD blinks ( see Fig. 4a ).

indication
The bars facing the Antenna indicate the
strength of the radio signal. No bar means
there is no signal or only a very weak signal is
being received. One bar indicates a weak
signal and 5 bars indicate a very strong signal
(see Fig. 4b ). Use this radio signal strength
indicator to find a location with the strongest
reception.

Strong Signals, are normally found close to a
window. In some areas where the signal is
poor, you may need to position and rotate the
clock until the best signal strength is obtained.
Do Not put the clock on a desk or any other
object with a metal top. If the clock is in close
proximity to electrical appliances, such as TV,
mobile phone or a computer, they may cause
interference. Buildings with lots of steel
construction may also interfere with the signal.
Keep the clock by
twisting the stand
Fig.5 How to position the clock for the best signal reception
Once you have found the optimal position, leave
the clock still, so it can pick up a good signal.
Under normal conditions, it takes the clock only
minutes to synchronize, but under less than
perfect conditions, the clock may need to be left
overnight to successfully receive a
synchronized signal.
When the synchronization is achieved, it is
symbolized by an image of an antenna and a
radiating beacon (Fig. 6). A synchronized clock
or manually set clock, attempts to refresh itself
with a radio signal at least once a day, usually
in the evening or early morning hours when the
