4. Getting started

• Remove the protective film from the display.
• Open the battery compartment and insert two new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
• Close the battery compartment again.
  All segments will be displayed briefly.
  The device is ready for use.

4.1 Radio-controlled time reception

The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display.

• All other information disappears from the display. During the DCF time reception period, no button can be pressed.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
• The indoor temperature, the humidity and the corresponding smiley symbol appear on the display.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the SET button for 3 seconds.
• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received, another DCF reception will take place the next full hour (up to 2 times).
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press the SET button. The DCF reception symbol flashes.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).
• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received and the DCF reception is activated (dcF ON), the manually set time is overwritten.

Note on radio-controlled time

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainfingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

• During night-time, 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.

5. Operation

The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.

• Press and hold the + button in the respective setting mode for quick setting.

5.1 Manual settings

• Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter the setting mode.

5.1.1 Temperature unit setting

• ^ C flashes in the display.
• Press the + button to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
• Confirm with the SET button.
• If you set Fahrenheit as temperature unit, the time will be shown automatically in 12 hours system (AM/PM) and the date in month/ date sequence (American version).

5.2 Setting DCF reception

• dCF on flashes. By default, the DCF reception is activated (on).
• Press the + button if you want to deactivate the DCF reception (OFF) or activate again (on).
• Confirm with the SET button.
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manually set. No time zone will appear.

5.3 Setting of the time zone

• ZOnE 0 flashes.
  The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. 1=one hour plus).
• Press + button to correct the hours for the DCF time (+3/-3).

5.4 Setting of the time and date

• Press the SET button to make the settings in the following sequence: Hours, minutes, year, month and day. Press + button to adjust it.
