INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchasing the Radio-controlled projection  
Clock with digital tuning AM/FM radio RRM968P/RRM968PU.  
The unit is a multi-functional radio-controlled clock. The RRM968P  
- the Central Europe model - is designed to automatically synchronize  
its current time and date when brought within an approximate  
1500km radius of the radio signal generated from Frankfurt,  
Germany (DCF77). The RRM968PU - the UK model - will do the  
same when brought within range of the radio signal MSF-60  
generated from Rugby, England.  
This unit featured with a projection function that allows the user to  
display either (1) the Current Time with Indoor Temperature or (2)  
the pre-set Alarm time with Indoor Temperature on the ceiling, wall  
or other flat surface. In addition, theAlarm status will also be projected,  
which is indicated by the Alarm-on icon. The image projected is in a  
deep red color which is easily seen in the dark.  
This unit also comes with an digital tuning PLL (Phase Lock Loop)  
AM/FM radio with 16 user-preset stations (8 for AM and 8 for FM  
radio). A Radio Sleep-Timer (auto-off) function is also included.
