"Can you please read the email below and let your customers/staff know that the National Physical Laboratory have planned maintenance between now and the 6th April which will result in a very limited service for the Radio Controlled Time Signal.
Customers with new purchases of radio controlled clocks should set them in the late afternoon so they van receive the signal overnight if the transmitter is switched back on. Note if the clock does not set overnight they should remove the battery and try again the following evening. If the battery is left in the clock and no signal is received for a prolonged period then the clock switches into hibernation mode to conserve battery life. At this point the only way to then receive the signal is to reset the clock.
For existing customers, the clocks will continue to work as quartz clocks, but the accuracy may suffer as they will not be able to synchronise with the transmitter."
The full announcement is as follows:
