6. Getting started

• Place the basic station and the transmitter on a desk with a distance of approximately 1.5 meter. Avoid getting close to possible interference sources (electronic devices and radio installations).
• Remove the protective foil from the display of the basic station.
• Connect the basic station to the attached power adapter. Insert the adapter into the jack at the basic station and connect the power adapter to a wall socket. Important! Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your clock may be damaged.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.

6.1 Inserting of the batteries in the outdoor transmitter / Reception of the outdoor values

- Slide down the battery compartment lid of the outdoor transmitter.

- Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AA. Make sure the polarities are correct.

• After the batteries are inserted, the outdoor values will be transmitted to the basic station.

- As soon as the basic station receives the outdoor values, the values are permanently shown.

- If the reception of the outdoor values fails, "-" appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.

- You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later on (for example when the outdoor transmitter is lost or the batteries are changed).

- Hold the HEAT/DEW button on the basic station for three seconds.

- “---” appears on the display.

- Press the TX button in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter.

- The device will alert you with a beep and the basic station receives the values from the outdoor transmitter.

• After successful installation close the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter carefully.

6.2 Reception of the DCF reception signal

• After the reception of outdoor values, the clock is now trying to receive the reception signal and the DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
- When the time code is received successfully after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the LCD.
- The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 2:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 clock, it shall be held further attempts until 5:00 clock.
- You can also activate the DCF reception manually.
- Press the TIME SET button.
• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• There are three different reception symbols:

^6 1 stays – reception is good

No symbol – no reception

- By default, the DCF reception is activated and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.

SPRING - Wireless weather station

• In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual settings).

6.3 Radio-controlled time reception

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

6.4 Inserting of the batteries into the basic station

• The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power failure.
- For a permanent backlight and to conserve battery power, use the included supplied power adapter.
- Open the battery compartment at the back of the basic station.
- Insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA. Make sure the polarities are correct.
- Close the battery compartment again.
