Radio Controlled, UTS
Clock Movement - Radio Controlled - UTS
Fully automatic with high speed time setting - “Insert the battery and everything else is quick and fully automatic"
Dimensions:
Non Euro Fitting (NEF) Hand Collet Dimensions:
Set up:
1. Set the hands then pull out the needle
2. Insert a battery & the movement will move the hands to the reference positions 12, 4 or 8 o'clock to locate the signal
3. If the signal has not been located within 4 to 5 minutes, place the movement near a window that points towards Germany & leave over night
4. The movement should be able to locate the radio signal more easily overnight, as at night there is less interference
5. Once located, the movement will continue to receive the radio signal
Possible causes of interference:

Set up:
1. Set the hands then pull out the needle
2. Insert a battery & the movement will move the hands to the reference positions 12, 4 or 8 o'clock to locate the signal
3. If the signal has not been located within 4 to 5 minutes, place the movement near a window that points towards Germany & leave over night
4. The movement should be able to locate the radio signal more easily overnight, as at night there is less interference
5. Once located, the movement will continue to receive the radio signal
Possible causes of interference:
- Domestic appliances
- TV receivers closer than 2 metres
- Machinery with HF leakage
- Signal may be affected by mountainous or hilly terrain or adverse meteorological conditions
Troubleshooting:
- Check correct polarity of battery
- Ensure the clock is at least 6 feet away from a TV, computer, air conditioner or any other electrical household appliances. Optimal location is near a window
- Remove battery and start again
- There may be an interruption at the transmitter. Wait a few hours and try again
- Due to the signal requirements of these movements it is important that a fresh, fully charged alkaline battery is used initially and then changed on a regular basis as a partially charged battery may not be strong enough to receive the radio signal, resulting in the movement not fully functioning correctly
- Leave the movement to pick up the signal overnight. At night there is less interference.
