MODEL : RM329P
USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock with Temperature Display Model RM329P.
The RM329P is a multifunction (RF) 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.
For easy time reading in dim or no light, the RM329P features a projection function that allows the user to display the time on the ceiling, wall or other flat surface. The time projected is in a deep red that is easily seen but will minimize eye dilation. The clock face also features a large LCD display with backlight for easy viewing in dim or no light.
Other features include: display of current indoor temperature, current date display, and a daily crescendo alarm with 8-minute snooze function.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The RM329P is a radio frequency (RF) controlled clock. The current time and date will automatically synchronize with radio frequency signals generated from DCF77 Frankfurt, Germany. The benefit of a RF controlled clock is that highly-accurate time is

When the batteries are first installed, the RM329P 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, short periodic reception-signal scans will commence several times a day.
The antenna icon indicates the quality of reception.
