Automatic clock setting
5. After approximately 3 minutes your clock radio will synchronise to  the
official UK standard time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby
in the U.K.  The MSF indicator 
 will stop flashing and the
correct time and date will appear in the display. Once synchronised
to the radio time signal your clock radio will automatically switch from
summer to winter time and vice versa.
6. If the MSF indicator 
 continues to flash try to re-position your
clock radio or time capsule so as to improve reception of the radio
time signal. (See also section headed Troubleshooting on page 21)
7. If the clock fails to set automatically due to local interference it may
be necessary to set the clock manually - see section headed Manual
clock setting.
MSF radio signal
At certain times of the year the MSF radio transmitter closes down for
maintenance. During this time the clock will not automatically set (see the
section headed Manual clock setting).
Recorded information on transmitter status can be obtained on 020
8943 6493.
Your clock radio will need to be set manually if the transmitter is closed
down when your clock radio is first connected to the mains.
At all other times if the transmitter closes down your clock radio will
continue to run on its own highly accurate internal quartz crystal time
base.
