Congratulations on purchasing the RM826 Radio Controlled Travel Clock.
The RM826 is a clock that automatically sets the time and date from signals
broadcast by the U.S. Atomic Clock, one of the world's most accurate
timekeepers.
RADIO CONTROLLED
This extraordinary timepiece, located outside Boulder, Colorado, is operated
by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards
and Technology.
TRAVEL CLOCK WITH HiGlo
Your RM826 Clock automatically activates its receiver immediately upon
battery insertion and then six times every 24 hours and makes any necessary
adjustments in its time display. The clock not only sets itself to synchronize
its digital time and date with the atomic clock's signals, but it also
automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.
