1.  Insert batteries into the touch screen monitor fi rst. Do not touch the screen at 

2.  Insert batteries into the transmitter next. The red LED light located in the middle 

of the transmitter will turn on for 4 seconds. 

3.  The transmitter will send a transmission signal and start the radio control clock

) signal.

4.  If the RCC signal is detected correctly, then the LED light will fl ash 5 times 

indicating RCC signal has been found. 

5.  If the RCC signal is not detected the transmitter will stop RCC reception within one 

minute and resume in normal mode.

6.  If no RCC signal is detected in the initial setup, the transmitter will try once every 

hour to get an RCC signal until a signal is received. Once the transmitter receives 

the RCC signal it will transmit the signal to the monitor. On the monitor the RCC 

icon will be displayed, if the monitor doesn

’

t receive the RCC signal or loses the 

signal the RCC icon will not be displayed.

NOTE:

NOTE: During RCC reception the transmitter will not send a data transmission to the 

monitor. RCC reception will occur during the fi rst 5 minutes after power up.

 When fi rst installing the device it can take up to 12 hrs for the RCC signal 

to be detected. You can set the time and date manually for the fi rst time or wait until 

the RCC signal is received.

1.4 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)

1.4 Radio Controlled Clock (RCC)

The atomic clock has the most accurate time within the continent.  This unit receives 

the time signal transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) which is regulated by 3 atomic clocks and in average deviates less than 1 

second in 3000 years.

NIST transmits the time signal (WWVB, 60kHz) continuously from Fort Collins, 

Colorado. This signal can be received in the USA and Western Canada, however some 

environmental effects may affect the transmitting distance.
