2. Initial Time Synchronization (MSF Signal)

Upon powering on, the clock will automatically attempt to receive the MSF radio signal from Cumbria, UK, to set the correct time.

Place the clock near a window, away from electronic devices that might cause interference.
The signal reception icon (often a radio tower symbol) will flash during synchronization.
Once the signal is successfully received, the icon will become solid, and the time will be set automatically. This process may take several minutes or up to 24 hours depending on signal strength.
If the signal is not received, try repositioning the clock.
