6. Setup

6.1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the required number of AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

6.2. Initial Power On and Radio Control Synchronization

Upon battery installation, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the radio signal. This process may take several minutes to a few hours depending on your location and signal strength. During synchronization, the radio control symbol will flash. Once synchronized, the symbol will become solid.

• Place the clock near a window or in an open area for better signal reception.
• Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference.

5. Press 'SET' one last time to exit the setting mode.

If you are in a different time zone than the radio signal's origin, you can adjust the time zone offset. Consult the manual's specific instructions for your model, usually involving a 'ZONE' or 'TIME ZONE' button.
