• ability to measure backup battery voltage (to detect an empty battery)
• a comfortable software for Microsoft “Windows” (free for download) for automatic synchronization of the system time

• Universal Serial Bus interface (low speed, 1.5MBit/s)
• power consumption less than 0.2 Watt

At the actualization of the program package, it is recommended, to terminate the service application and uninstall the old program package first (no Windows restart required). After this preparing step, the new installation package can be installed. The updated service will be available after Windows restart.
An update without the preparing steps will also work, but the installation program will not finish itself (hang up).

The software applications are able to run without installed USB Radio Clock device (for demonstration). Of course, it can't accomplish the designated work.
