• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to 3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful ("radio tower" symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made From 4:00 and 5:00 until success. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not success, daily reception stop.

Information

• Flashing "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception started.
• Continuous "radio tower" symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception successful.
• Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or computer screens.
• The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the clock near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display accuracy at 1 second.

Tip

You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.

Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.
