1. Getting started

- Place the radio-controlled clock 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).

- Open the battery compartment of the radio-controlled clock and remove the battery insulation strip. All LCD segments will be displayed briefly. Close the battery compartment again.

• Pull the protective foil off the display.

- Open the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter by extending the stand and pull the lid down. Insert 2 x 1,5 V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking). All LCD segments will be displayed briefly. The signal lamp will be lighting briefly. The outdoor temperature will be displayed. Press the "C"F button inside the battery compartment of the transmitter to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit. Close the battery compartment again.

- The indoor temperature will be displayed on the radio-controlled clock and the radio-controlled clock will scan the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol will be flashing.

- If the outdoor temperature will not be displayed on the radio-controlled clock, “--” appears on the display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.

- You can start the initialization manually. Press and hold the SEARCH button on the radio-controlled clock for three seconds. The radio-controlled clock will scan again the outdoor temperature. Press and hold RESET button in the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter for three seconds.

1. Radio-controlled time reception

- The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing. When the time code is received successfully after 5 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the display.

Radio-controlled clock with outdoor and indoor temperature

- If there is no reception possible, manual initialization can be helpful.

- Press and hold - 1 °CI°F button for three seconds.

• The DCF symbol will be flashing.

- Interrupt the reception by pressing the -ICIF button again for three seconds. The DCF symbol disappears.

- The DCF reception always take place at 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o'clock, it shall be held further attempts at 6:00 o'clock.

• There are three different reception symbols:

flashing - reception is active

↑ stays - reception is successful

No symbol - no reception / time is manually set

- If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of the clock and calendar).

7.1 Note for radio-controlled time DCF:

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.

1. Operation

- During the reception of the outdoor temperature and the time is a button operation not possible.

- Press and hold + I 12/24 or - I °CI°F button in the setting mode for fast running.

- Confirm the setting with the MODE button.

- Press the + I 12/24 button in normal mode to choose between 24- and 12 HR system (AM or PM appears on the display).

- The manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

9. Positioning and fixing of the radio-controlled clock and the outdoor transmitter

- Choose a shady and dry position for the outdoor transmitter. (Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components needlessly).

Radio-controlled clock with outdoor and indoor temperature

• Place the radio-controlled clock in the living room with the table stand (fold our). With the suspensions device you can fix it on a wall. Avoid the vicinity of any interfering field like computer monitors or TV sets and solid metal objects.
• Check the transmission of the signal from the outdoor transmitter to the radio-controlled clock (transmission range of up to 100 m free field). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.
• If necessary choose another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or radio-controlled clock.
• If the transmission is successful, you can mount the outdoor transmitter.

10. Care and maintenance

• Clean the instruments with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if you do not use the outdoor transmitter and the radio-controlled clock for a long period of time.
• Keep the instruments in a dry place.

10.1 Battery replacement

• As soon as the battery symbol appears on the display of the radio-controlled clock beside the outdoor temperature or in the display of the outdoor transmitter, change the batteries of the outdoor transmitter.
• Open the battery compartment of the outdoor transmitter by extending the stand and pull the lid down.
• Insert two new batteries 1.5 V AAA. Make sure the polarities are correct.
• Change the batteries when the functions of the radio-controlled clock becomes weak.
• Open the battery compartment of the radio-controlled clock.
• Insert four new batteries 1.5 V AA. Make sure the polarities are correct.
• Please note:

When the batteries are changed, the contact between outdoor transmitter and radio-controlled clock must be restored – so always insert new batteries into both devices or start a manual transmitter search.
