INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the RF Projection Clock
(RM813P/RM813PU).
The RM813P/RM813PU is a multifunctional radio-controlled

To facilitate night time reading, the unit comes with a projector that
can cast large, clear clock-time figures onto flat surfaces in dark. It
also has a guiding light at the back of the unit.
