Setting up Devices

Stand the radio-controlled clock on its folding stand 23 or mount it on the wall. Place the clock on a level, horizontal surface. Do not place the device anywhere near sources of interference such as televisions, computers, thick walls, etc. These may hinder reception of the radio signal.

Inserting or replacing batteries

The battery symbol 5 appears in the LC display if the batteries are too weak. Make sure you replace the batteries at the earliest opportunity. The radio-controlled LCD wall clock starts to receive the radio time signal as soon as the batteries are inserted.

Note: Do not alter the position of the radio-controlled clock during reception of the signal. This may disrupt reception.

Radio time signal (DCF):

The DCF signal (time signal transmission) consists of time pulses broadcast from one of the most accurate clocks in the world. It is situated near Frankfurt / Main, Germany.

Your radio-controlled clock receives these signals under ideal conditions up to a distance of approx. 1,500 km around Frankfurt / Main. Reception of the radio signal generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes.

If it does not work properly, restart the radio-controlled clock. To do this, keep the WAVE button 19 pressed for approx. 3 seconds.

Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g. concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical devices). If necessary, change the location of the radio clock (e.g. by putting it near a window) if you have problems with reception.

Operation

Reception of DCF radio signal

The radio-controlled clock automatically starts to search for the DCF radio signal. The radio icon 13 on the LCD indicates that the clock is searching for the radio signal.

It is also possible to start reception of the DCF radio signal manually on the clock.

Press and keep pressed the WAVE button 19 for longer than 3 seconds. The LCD radio-controlled wall clock attempts to receive the DCF radio time signal. This process takes several minutes and is indicated in the LC display by a flashing radio symbol.

Note: If the radio-controlled clock cannot pick up the DCF radio signal on account of an error, it is also possible to set the time manually. As soon as reception of the DCF signal is successful, the manual settings are overwritten.
