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.

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.

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.

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
