AMS Wall Clock 5895 Instruction Manual

The AMS radio-controlled wall clock 5895 impresses with its simple black design and functionality. The large digital LCD display ensures excellent readability of the time, even from a greater distance. In addition to the time, the display also shows the temperature and humidity. Integrated stand feet allow the clock to be set up, so it can also be used as a table clock. You can find the operating instructions here.  

1. Using the clock

To start up the clock, remove the battery compartment cover and insert four new AA batteries according to the polarity indicated in the battery compartment. Then reattach the battery compartment cover. As soon as the batteries are inserted, all segments of the LCD display briefly light up before the radio-controlled time reception mode starts.

The clock is programmed to switch automatically from standard time to daylight saving time. During the summer months, daylight saving time is shown on the display with the abbreviation "DST".

6. Signal strength display

The display is capable of showing four levels of the strength of the received signal. If the wave symbol starts flashing, this means that time signals are being received. The signal quality can be divided into four types:

If the clock receives the signal successfully, the synchronization time symbol appears on the LCD display. The device is already synchronized with the time signal transmitter. Otherwise, the antenna symbol disappears from the LCD display.

Note: The °C/°F button can be used to receive the time signal manually. To do this, press and hold the °C/°F button for three seconds. The radio symbol starts flashing, indicating that the search has started. However, this function should be used as little as possible, as excessive use reduces battery life. The RECEPTION mode stops automatically after 6-12 minutes.
