3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

The clock requires 2 AA batteries, which are included with the product.

3.2 Initial Power On and Radio Wave Reception

Upon battery installation, the clock will attempt to receive radio waves to set the time automatically. For best reception:

• Place the clock near a window.
• Avoid locations with potential radio interference, such as:
  • Inside buildings, basements, or areas with thick walls.
  • Near high-voltage lines, TV towers, or train rails.
  • Close to electronic appliances (TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, etc.).
  • In vehicles (automotive, train, airplane).
  • Near metal furniture like steel desks.

If radio waves are not received, the clock will operate with quartz accuracy. Reception may vary depending on environmental conditions.
