HINTS FOR BEST OPERATION

• Insert batteries for the remote unit before doing so for the main unit.
• Set the main and remote unit within range (20 to 30 meters).
• Try different set-ups for best transmission and reception.
• Position the remote unit away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Remove the battery compartment door.
2. Insert two AAA-sized batteries for the remote unit or four AA- sized batteries for the main unit.
3. Press [RESET].
4. Replace the battery compartment door.

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR

The projector projects the current time and remote temperature onto a wall or ceiling.

To project the time-temperature onto a flat surface:
In a darkened room, press [ SNOOZE / LIGHT ], the wall projection will activate for approximately 5 seconds.
This unit has several features to enhance the clarity of the projected image.

Projector Features
Feature	Effect	Instructions
Adjustable Projector	Rotates 180° to cast image onto any wall	Adjust by turning forwards or backwards the projector, so that the projection lens is pointed in the appropriate direction
FOCUS Knob	Focuses image	Rotate knob forwards or backwards until the image clarity is optimized
[] IMAGE ROTATION knob	Rotates image on a given surface to maintain an upright position	Turns an image to maintain an upright position
180° ROTATION button	Horizontally flips an image on a given surface to maintain an upright position	Flips an image to maintain an upright position

HOW TO USE THE PROJECTOR POWER ADAPTER

Your unit comes with a power adapter for using the projector for extended period of time, such as throughout the night. To install the adapter,

To turn off the projector, slide the [PROJECTION ON] back. Note that this switch can only be used with the power adapter installed. For momentarily projection, use [SNOOZE/LIGHT].

HOW TO USE THE BACKLIGHT

Press the [SNOOZE/LIGHT] button once. The backlight will light up for five seconds.

DISPLAY MODES

In normal display, the current time, including seconds, will be displayed. To display the days-of-the-week, press [CLOCK] once.
To switch back to normal time display, press [CLOCK] once.

To display the daily alarm time, press [ALARM] once when date is displayed. To display the date, press [CLOCK] once when alarm time is displayed.
The temperature and weather forecast will be shown in all display modes.

ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION

The BAR338P is designed to automatically synchronize its current time and date when brought within range of the DCF77 RF signal.
(UK version within a 1500km radius of radio signal (MSF) from Ruby, England)
When the unit is within range, its radio-control mechanism will override all manual settings.
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the reception icon will start to blink. The reception icon will show either strong, weak or no signal depending on the strength of the radio signal. A complete reception generally takes about two to 10 minutes.

Receiving radio signal

No signal

Weak signal

Strong signal

When the reception is completed the reception icon will stop blinking. The reception icon will show "" for no reception or "" for successful reception.

Reception complete

No reception, or manually adjusted

Successful reception

For better reception of radio signals, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances to minimize interference.

HOW TO ENABLE OR DISABLE AUTO-RECEPTION

If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature while the unit is within range, hold down the [ ] and [] buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The [] signal will disappear. The unit will NOT respond to radio signals.
To enable the feature again, hold down the buttons again. The [] signal will start blinking to initiate reception automatically.

HOW TO MANUALLY SET THE CALENDAR CLOCK

ALARM AND SNOOZE FUNCTION

When the alarm is activated, it will go off at the set time. The display will light up for five seconds with the [] icon flashing. The crescendo function allows the alarm to start off gently and step up its intensity in four steps. Without interruption, the alarm will sound for a minute. To stop the alarm, press any button. If the [SNOOZE/LIGHT] button is pressed, the SNOOZE function will be triggered. The alarm will stop for eight minutes before going off again.

INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES

Press [IN/OUT] repeatedly for indoor temperature, outdoor temperature or an automatic scan of both temperatures.
When the automatic scan function is activated, the indoor and outdoor temperatures will be displayed alternately for a few seconds each. To end the scan, press [IN/OUT].
Press [°C/°F] to display the temperature in Centigrade °C or Fahrenheit °F. (For model BAR338PU)

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES

Press [IN/OUT] to select indoor or outdoor temperature display. Then press [MEMORY] repeatedly to scroll on the current temperature and the maximum and minimum temperatures in record.
To clear the memory, select indoor or outdoor temperature display. Then press and hold [MEMORY] for two seconds to clear the memory for the selected display.

DISCONNECTED SIGNALS

If without obvious reasons the display for the outdoor temperature becomes blank, press and hold [IN/OUT] for two seconds to enforce an immediate search. If that fails, check if the remote unit is still in place. Make sure the transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles and interference.

TRANSMISSION COLLISION

Signals from household devices, such as doorbells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and cause temporarily reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the interference recedes.

WEATHER FORECAST

The unit is capable of detecting barometric pressure changes, and basing on the data collected, can predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. The effective range is 30 to 50 km.

sunny	partly cloudy	cloudy	rainy	snowy

NOTE:

LOW BATTERY WARNING

When it is time to replace batteries, the low-battery indicator will appear. Replace the batteries for the main unit when the indicator appears at the clock window. Do the same for the remote unit when the indicator appears below the OUT icon.

THE RESET BUTTON

The [RESET] button is used to enhance synchronization of signals after battery replacement or when the unit is operating in an unfavorable way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button. All settings will return to their default values.

PRECAUTIONS

This unit is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if handled carefully.
