reception. For best signal reception, place the RM826 away from other equipment that emit RF or microwave signals such as TV's, radios, PC's or microwave ovens. Other causes for signal interference include electrical power transmission towers, steel reinfoced concrete construction, and/or metal siding. You may need to reposition the clock for maximum reception. Radio Frequency appliances and radios, such as the Radio Controlled Alarm Clock, perform best when placed near a window. After receiving the initial signal, updates are accomplished with greater ease. Even though there are areas that may have more difficulty in receiving a signal, the RM826 Alarm Clock contains very accurate quartz movement and will retain precise time even if a signal is missed on a rare occasion.
