MSF RECEPTION DIFFICULTIES

Like any receiver, your clock needs a good signal to work properly. The main causes of reception failure are:

• Atmospheric and local interferences.
• Interference from electrical equipment, e.g., TV, computers, or radios.
• Location of the clock’s internal receiver within the building.
• Reduced local signal due to steel-framed structure.
• Outside the normal transmission.

The following suggestion may help improve reception of the MSF signal:

• Try rotating the clock as the internal receiver that picks up the signal is most effective when it is facing directly towards or away from Anthorn.
• Try moving your clock to a new location away from any electrical equipment, e.g., TV, computer, or radios, and start the setup again after 5.30 pm. Due to local interference, the signal is stronger between midnight & 5 am.

Note: The clock will automatically search for the time signal every day at 2:00 am. If it fails to receive the time signal at 2:00, it will search again at 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 am. If the signal is weak and your clock does not set, move the clock to a new location, press and hold the ‘-‘ button for 3 seconds to start the radio-controlled signal search.

Interruption to the MS signal

The Anthorn transmitter is periodically shut down for scheduled maintenance, resulting in no signal being transmitted. For dates of the scheduled maintenance, visit https://www.npl.co.uk/msf-signal.
