SOLAR - Radio-controlled alarm clock
Please take note of the following:
• The recommended distance to any interference sources like
computer monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the
received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please
place the unit close to a window and/or turn it until the signal
improves.
• During nighttime, atmospheric interference is usually less
severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under
1 second.

used within 15 seconds.
