adjustment for exact accuracy once the power returns. If the batteries are not installed,  
the Display will blink ”12:00” when the power is restored. This will indicate that you have  
to reset the time and alarm settings.

tuner sensitivity.  
2. The AM receiver uses an external AM loop antenna. If the AM reception is weak,  
slightly rotating or re-positioning the loop antenna will usually improve the AM reception.  
3. Automatic tuning depends on the signal strength of the broadcasting station, so weak  
stations may be skipped. You can manually tune to find the weak stations if a station  
gets skipped. With strong signals, the tuner may stop before it reaches the actual  
broadcast frequency, so you may need to manually tune for the best reception.
