Intended Use

This radio-controlled alarm clock receives its time signal from the German time signal transmitter DCF77. The alarm clock is designed exclusively for private use in dry indoor areas.

Safety

• This item can be used by children 8 years of age and above, as well as by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the item and understand the dangers that may arise.
  Children must not play with the item.

• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years of age or older and are being supervised.

• Batteries, when swallowed, can be life-threatening. Keep the item and batteries out of reach of small children. If batteries have been swallowed, seek medical help immediately.

DANGER for children

• Keep children away from packaging material. Risk of choking if swallowed.

RISK of fire/burning and/or explosion

• Risk of explosion if batteries are improperly exchanged. Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent battery type. Observe the "Technical Data".

• Batteries must not be recharged, reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into fire, or short-circuited. Otherwise there is an increased risk of explosion and leakage; furthermore, gases may escape!

• Avoid contact of the battery fluid with skin, eyes, and mucosa. In case of contact, rinse the affected areas right away with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor immediately.

BEWARE of material damage

• Protect the alarm clock from strong shocks, vibrations and moisture.

• Remove the batteries from the item when they are exhausted or if you will not use the alarm clock for an extended period of time. This prevents damage that may be caused by leakage.

• When inserting and changing batteries, pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-).

• Do not expose batteries to extreme conditions, for example, by storing them on radiators or under direct sunlight. Increased risk of leakage!
• Clean the battery and device contacts, as needed, before inserting the battery.
• Only use batteries of the same type. Do not use different types or used and new batteries together.
• Do not make any changes to the item. Only allow repairs to be carried out at a specialist workshop. Repairs carried out incorrectly can considerably endanger the user.

Scope of delivery

• Radio-controlled alarm clock
• Battery type LR03 (AAA), 1.5 - (2x)
• Operating Manual

Start-up

For use, you will need two LR03 (AAA), 1.5V batteries.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover upwards.
2. Insert the batteries as shown on the bottom of the battery compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/-) .
3. Replace the battery compartment cover and press it down. Battery compartment lid must engage audibly.

As soon as the batteries are inserted, the alarm clock switches to reception, see next chapter.

Notes on changing the battery:

• Only use the battery type specified in the "Technical Data".
  Always replace all batteries.
• Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally friendly manner, see "Disposal".

Receiving the time signal

When the batteries are inserted, all displays are shown for a brief moment, the display is illuminated and a beep is heard.

The measured room temperature is displayed shortly afterwards.

The alarm clock will then switch to reception, with the number of radio waves indicating the quality of the reception:

The more radio waves shown on the display, the better is the reception.

As soon as the time signal has been received in sufficient strength, the display also shows

the time and
the date.

The radio-controlled alarm clock automatically switches to reception several times every night. During this process, the displayed time is compared with that received from the time signal transmitter and, if necessary, corrected.

If a sufficiently strong signal has not been received, the radio-controlled alarm clock will cancel the receiving process after a few minutes and the radio tower symbol goes out. The receiving process is started again at a later point

in time. In this case, the time proceeds as usual (beginning with the start time of "00:00").

Checklist when data is missing in the display

1. Check whether the location of the radio-controlled alarm clock is suitable, see “Choosing a location”.

2. Manually restart the receiving process, see “Starting signal reception manually”.

3. Wait until the alarm clock automatically switches back to reception at a later time.

4. Manually perform settings if reception is not possible at the location, see “Setting the time and date manually”.

Setting the time and date manually

If there is a delay of more than approx. 20 seconds between two pushes of a button, the setting process is automatically terminated.

1. Press and hold the TIME button until the indicator for the 12- and 24-hour time format blinks on the display.
2. Set the desired time format ("12H" or "24H") by the + / - button.
3. Press TIME to save the setting. "00" blinks on the display for the time zone

4. Proceed as described:

5. Set the desired value by tapping on + or -.
   -Press TIME each time to save a setting.

6. Perform the following settings one after the other:

-Time zone ("00" is a standard setting for mainland Europe).
-Hours
-Minutes

1. Finally, press TIME to exit.

Starting signal reception manually

If the radio signal symbol to the left is no longer displayed, the radio signals from the time signal transmitter are no longer being received. The time indicator nevertheless continues precisely.

• Press and hold WAVE button (on the back) until the radio reception is started.

Pay attention to the following:

• If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol fades out after a few minutes and the time on the display continues normally.
• Upon successful signal reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock adjusts itself to the time of the time signal transmitter. If you have already carried out manual time and date settings, these will be adjusted.

Choosing a location

NOTE on material damage

• Protect the alarm clock from dust, shocks, extreme temperatures, direct sunlight and moisture and only place it in a dry, closed room.

• Maintain a distance from TV sets, computers and monitors. Base stations of cordless telephones should also not be in the immediate vicinity of the radio-controlled alarm clock.
  Depending on your location, it may occur in rare individual cases that the alarm clock receives signals from another time signal transmitter or even alternately from two time signal transmitters. This is not a fault in the device. In this case, change the location of the alarm clock.

• The weather, e.g. a heavy storm, can cause interference with the reception.
• Temporary shutoffs of the transmitter can sometimes happen, e.g. because of maintenance work.

About the time signal transmitter DCF77

This radio-controlled alarm clock receives its radio signals from the time signal transmitter DCF77. This broadcasts the precise and official time of the Federal Republic of Germany on the long-wave frequency of 77.5kHz . The transmitter is located in Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main and, with its range of up to 2000km , supplies the majority of radio-controlled clocks in western Europe with the necessary radio signals. As soon as the radio-controlled alarm clock is supplied with power, it switches to reception and searches for the signal from the transmitter DCF77. If the time signal is received in sufficient strength, the display shows the date and time. The radio-controlled alarm clock switches on several times a day and synchronises the time with the radio signal from the transmitter DCF77.

In the event the signal is not received, e.g. during a strong storm, the device continues to run precisely and then switches to receiving mode again at the next scheduled time.
