6. Getting started

6.1 Insert the batteries

- Open the battery compartment and insert the two batteries 1,5 V AA, polarity as illustrated.

- Close the battery compartment again.

• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.

- On the display appears the indoor temperature.

6.2 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

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

- During the reception a button operation is not possible.

- When the time code is received successfully after 2-12 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the DCF symbol, the moon phase and the

actual calendar day are displayed steadily in the display

- You can start the initialization manually.

- Press and hold the -1°C°F and +/12/24 button at the same time for three seconds.

• The DCF symbol will be flashing.

- Interrupt the reception by pressing again the button +/12/24 and the button - ^12 C/ ^12 F at the same time for three seconds.

• The DCF symbol disappears

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00

o'clock in the morning, the DCF symbol disappears. The next receive operation is again at 4:00, 5:00 or 6:00 o'clock in the morning.

• There are three different reception symbols:

flashing - reception is active

stays - reception is very good

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 settings).

7. Note for radio-controlled time DCF

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a cesium atomic clock operated by the Physikaliench Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainlingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time. 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 rejection 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 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.

8. Operation

- During the operation, all successful settings will be confirmed by a brief beep tone.

- In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-12I+12).
