The radio-controlled time is calculated by the Cesium Atomic clock of Braunschweig (offi cial clock of Germany). Then the time is coded and transmitted from Mainfl ingen – near Frankfurt – via a signal on DCF-77 (77.5 kHz). The transmitting range of the signal is 1500 km, which means that most of Western and Central Europe is covered by this signal. Within this range the received time is completely accurate. However, there are many environment factors may affect the RCC reception, i.e. nearby computer monitors or other electronic devices, put on any metal surface, surrounded by any tall buildings and so on. The user had better to place the atomic clock near the window and face the transmitter in Mainfl in- gen near Frankfurt, Germany. And then check the RCC strength indicator in the clock display to see if there has any wave above the reception tower. There have 3 wave icons fl ash to indicate 4 levels of RCC signal status: Very weak Weak Medium Strong If there has no wave above the reception tower that means the signal is very weak and the clock can not be set by the RCC signal, please try to rotate the unit or other windows to seek for a better RCC reception location. Besides, the RCC signal is the strongest at night, the user can manually set the clock to local time and leave it overnight to receive the RCC signal. If nothing else works, take the clock outdoors after dark at night, remove and re-install the batteries and leave it overnight to force it to look for the radio controlled time signal. If the clock works outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or building. Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will automatically be updated. Note: During 10 minutes of time signal reception, all manual settings will be suspended. If setting is desired, press once [ ] key to deactivate the reception. You can also press and hold the same key for 3 seconds to manually activate the reception in normal mode. The clock will work as a normal quartz clock if it can’t receive the RCC signal.
