Radio controlled alarm clock

• The clock will scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the LCD. When the signal is received successfully after 3-5 minutes, the radio controlled time and the DCF symbol appear permanently.
• The clock automatically receives every day at 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning a radio signal. If the reception fails, the symbol disappears and scanning stops and will be repeated at 4.00 am and 5.00 am.
• Manual Initialization can be helpful. Press and hold ▼ and ▲ button at the same time. A short beep will sound and the symbol is flashing. If the reception fails, the symbol disappears and scanning stops and will be repeated in the next three hours (three times).
• Press and hold ▼ and ▲ button at the same time, to stop the initialization and the DCF-reception symbol disappears.
• In case the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Setting of clock and calendar).

Radio controlled alarm clock

Radio controlled time reception:

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Gaesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which 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 1500 km. 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 1500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. In Daylight Saving Time "DST" is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

- Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.

• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
• During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
• After the reception of the radio controlled time you can set the alarm time (see: Alarm setting).

7. Operation
