![]() That is all mine needs to sync normally, so I think you must have bridged the switch-back-on phase. I looked in their 'News' section last night for that kind of info but found nothing, you are obviously a better digger than I am !lol! Hazzanet > Thanks for the maintenance schedule, that'll stop me having a panic/scratching my head in afew days time ! Stef73 > Quite right ! That is what I should have done right away instead of thinking doom on my clockĪerostar > Yes, did that over a period of a couple of hours ! Although I had not previously had any problems with that location I did trundle it round the house between battery resets just in case they were on low power for some reason, Thank you all for your comments, all very interesting : They must have been transmitting the wrong time for a short period and took it off-air to sort it out,īecause, if it had been off for a long enough time for my clock to freewheel and drift by 4 minutes I would have noticed the error long before. The good news is that when I awoke this morning all was back to normal ! If you have any other electronic items near the clock (com,uters, monitors, dect phones, modems, power supplies etc) these can reduce the sensitivity of the unit as they can radiate signals close to the receiving frequency. The poster in NW UK would not be far from the transmitter so he should get a good signal, the farther away from the transmitter the lower the signal, also the signal is better at night, The clocks all have a directional aerial, (it is a ferrite rod) and it is quite possible that it is not receiving due to the rod having its end pointing at the transmitter instead of the width to the transmitter. Try and move your clock to a different location and make sure the widest part of the clock is pointing to Cumbria. Is my clock dead or is it a transmitter/service issue ? ![]() I removed and replaced the battery to see if it would re-sync but it is just flashing 3 horizontal bars and a flashing antenna symbol.
