Mainflingen Signal reception is possible within approximately 1,200 km of the 1200 km transmitter. · Even when the clock is within the reception range, signal reception may be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological formations between the clock and signal source. · Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes. · The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible. · Reception is best when the back of the clock is facing toward Mainflingen. Note, however, that moving the clock while the time calibration signal receive operation is taking place will make stable reception impossible. · Think of the clock as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration signal.When receiving indoors, move to a location as near as possible to a window. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed below. USING THE CLOCK Any of the following procedures can be used to set current date and time. · Auto receive of the time calibration signal · Manual receive of the time calibration signal · Manual setting without using the time calibration signal Auto Receive · The clock receives the time calibration signal eight times each day (2:00, 5:00, 8:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00, 23:00). · A signal receive operation takes from two to ten minutes under good signal conditions. Antenna Icon If you see this: Icon is flashing. Icon is not displayed. Icon is displayed (not flashing). It means this Signal reception is in progress. The last receive operation failed. The last receive operation was successful. Wave OK Indicator If you see this: OK is not displayed. OK is displayed. It means this All receive operations over the past 24 hours failed, or signal reception is in progress. At least one of the receive operations over the past 24 hours was successful. Unsuccessful Signal Reception The antenna icon disappears from the display when a signal receive operation is unsuccessful. If this happens, try changing the position or orientation of the clock, and press the WAVE button (3) to receive again. Inside or among buildings, or near neon signs Inside a vehicle Near refrigerators or other household appliances, near office equipment, mobile phones or wireless LAN devices Near a construction site, airport, or other sources of electrical noise, underground or in tunnels, near railroads, highways, or radio stations with interfering frequencies Near high-tension power lines Among or behind mountains · Press the WAVE button (3) to trigger a calibration signal receive operation. · Use the WAVE button (3) to trigger a receive operation after replacing the clock's batteries or if the auto receive operation was not performed correctly for some reason. Manual Receive Important! · Do not perform any button or switch operation while a signal receive operation is in progress. · The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data. · The DST indicator appears on the display when Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data is received. · Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day. · Radio interference can make signal reception impossible. · Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set. 3 Operation Guide IDR-200 Setting the Time and Date Manually · When using the clock in an area that is outside of the range of the transmitter in Mainflingen or in an area where signal reception is impossible for some reason, you need to manually adjust the time as required. 1. Press the SET button (2) to cycle through the setting screens as shown below. Normal Timekeeping Screen BATTERY REPLACEMENT Low Battery Warning Note that the indicator appears on the main unit display when sub-unit battery power goes low. Replace the batteries as soon as possible. To replace main unit batteries Replace batteries whenever the display of the clock becomes dim and difficult to read. 1. Open the battery compartment cover as shown in the illustration. 2. Remove all of the old batteries. 3. Load a full set of new batteries. Make sure that their positive (+) and negative (­) ends face in the correct directions. If you load batteries incorrectly, they can burst and damage the main unit. 4. Replace the battery compartment cover. 5. Press the RESET button (4). Be sure to press the RESET button (4) after replacing batteries. Year Setting Screen 12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Screen To replace sub-unit batteries 1. Open the stand so you can see the back cover. 2. Remove the back cover screw, and then open the back cover. 3. Remove both old batteries. 4. Load new batteries. Make sure that their positive (+) and negative (­) ends face in the correct directions. If you load batteries incorrectly, they can burst and damage the sub-unit. 5. Replace the back cover and secure it in place with the screw. 6. Press the RESET button (9). Be sure to press the RESET button (9) after replacing batteries. 7. On the main unit, press the RE-SYNC button (6). Month and Day Setting Screen Time Setting Screen Battery precautions 2. While the screen you want is on the display, use the Time Setting buttons (1) to change the digits that are flashing. Press + to increase the flashing digits. Press -- to decrease the flashing digits. · Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your physician immediately. · Be sure to load the batteries with their positive (+) and negative (­) ends facing correctly. · Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different brands. · Never charge the batteries that come with the product. · Should batteries ever leak while in the product, wipe out the fluid with a cloth, taking care not to let any get onto your skin. · Replace the batteries at least once a year, even if the current batteries are working properly. · The batteries that come with the product lose some of their power during transport and storage. THERMOMETER FUNCTIONS Both the main unit and the sub-unit are equipped with their own temperature sensors. Temperature data measured by the sub-unit is sent by wireless transfer to the main unit. You can toggle the main unit display between the main unit temperature reading and the sub-unit temperature reading. This makes it possible to view both the indoor and outdoor temperature on the main unit display. · Holding down + or ­ changes the flashing digits at high speed. · You can set the year in the range of 2000 to 2039. The day of the week is set automatically in accordance with the date setting. · Pressing + or ­ while the Time Setting Screen is on the display causes the seconds count to be reset to 00. · Each press of + or ­ while the 12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Screen is on the display toggles between 12-hour and 24-hour timekeeping. 3. After configuring the settings you want, use the SET button (2) to display the Normal Timekeeping Screen. · The clock automatically returns to the Normal Timekeeping Screen if you leave a setting screen on the display for about three minutes without performing any operation. Temperature Measurements · Both the main unit and the sub-unit take temperature measurements every 16 seconds. · The temperature display shows "LO" for temperatures below ­50°C (­58°F) and "HI" for temperatures above 70°C (158°F). · Though temperature readings are displayed up to 0°C (32°F) and greater than 41°C (105°F), note that such readings are actually outside the guaranteed temperature range of this clock.
