Product Information
Full details
The Radio Controlled Wall Clock by Roger Lascelles is designed for homeowners and office managers who require absolute time precision without the hassle of manual adjustments. Its key benefit is automatic synchronization with the UK time signal, ensuring your clock is always accurate to the second. However, users should note that the clock relies on a stable radio signal, which may be hindered by thick concrete walls or metal shielding in certain building environments.

FAQs
Does this clock automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time?
Yes, as long as it successfully receives the UK radio time signal, it will update automatically.
Can I use this clock outside the UK?
No, this clock is specifically tuned to the UK radio frequency transmitter and will not function correctly in other time zones.
How often should I change the batteries?
It is recommended to replace the battery every 12 months to ensure consistent performance and signal reception.
Is the clock silent?
The clock features a standard movement; while not marketed as a 'silent' clock, it operates within typical noise levels for wall timepieces.
Will the clock work in a basement?
Radio-controlled clocks perform best in areas with open space. Basements or rooms with thick concrete walls may block the signal.
Troubleshooting
Clock hands are spinning or stuck at 12 o'clock
The clock is likely searching for a signal. Allow it to remain in a stable position near a window for up to 24 hours.
Time is incorrect despite radio synchronization
Check the battery health. Weak batteries often prevent the internal receiver from completing a successful handshake with the signal transmitter.
Clock has stopped entirely
Replace the existing battery with a new, fresh AA battery and ensure the battery terminals are free of corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: Insert a fresh, high-quality alkaline battery into the compartment. The clock will begin its initiation sequence, often moving hands to the 12 o'clock position while searching for the signal.
- Calibration: Leave the clock in a location with good signal reception for up to 24 hours to allow it to fully lock onto the UK radio transmitter.
- Care: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior frame and glass. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the silver finish.
- Placement: Ensure the clock is wall-mounted securely, avoiding areas with high vibration or extreme humidity, which may affect internal components.
