ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION
The BAR928 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar
clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio
signal. It will scan and adjust every full hour.
When the BAR928 is within range, its radio-control mechanism will
override all manual settings.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the RADIO RECEPTION
signal will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about
two to 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
When the reception is complete, the RADIO RECEPTION signal
will stop blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour
will be indicated.
For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and
electrical appliances to minimize interference.
Should you wish to deactivate the RF controlled function, press
MODE and DOWN(
) button simultaneously.
To reactivate the RF control function, press MODE and UP( )
simultaneously.
HOW TO SET THE CLOCK MANUALLY
When the current time is displayed, press MODE for three seconds.
The 12-hr or 24-hr digits will flash. Use the UP or DOWN button to
select either. If 12-hour clock format is selected, the time will be
displayed with the AM or PM indicator.
Press MODE. The hour digits will flash. Use the UP or DOWN
buttons to enter the hours. Holding down either button will increase
or decrease the value rapidly. Press MODE to go to the minutes. Set
the minutes like you set the hours. Press MODE again to confirm

If changes are made during this process, the seconds will start from
zeros.
