HOLOclock 60.5009.04 - Clock TFA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL HOLOclock 60.5009.04 TFA

Thank you for choosing this instrument from TFA. Through patented optics, the time, date and temperature will be projected by means of the beam splitter lens. In this way, the display appears in midair. Because of the laws of physics, this effect can only be seen from a certain viewing angle.

Please make sure to read the instruction manual carefully. This information will help you to familiarise yourself with your new device, to learn all of its functions and parts, to find out important details about its first use and how to operate it, and to get advice in the event of faults.

This product is exclusively intended for the field of application described above. It should only be used as described within these instructions.

Unauthorized repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited.

This product is not be used for public information, it is only intended for home use. Caution!

Risk of electrocution!

Plug the instrument only into a socket installed in regulation manner and with a mains voltage of 230V!

The instrument and the mains adapter must not come into contact with water or moisture. Only suitable for operation in dry interiors. HOLOclock - Radio controlled clock with 3-D effect

Do not use the unit if the housing or the mains adapter are damaged.

Keep the unit out of reach of persons (including children) who cannot fully appreciate the potential risks of handling electrical equipment.

Pull the plug out of the socket immediately if any fault occurs or if the unit is not used for a longer period of time.

Do not pull the plug out of the socket by its lead.

Route the mains lead so that it does not come into contact with sharp-edged or hot objects. Caution!

Keep this instrument and the batteries out of the reach of children.

Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of explo- sion!

Batteries contain harmful acids. Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking. Never use a combination of old and new batteries together, nor bat- teries of different types.

Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.

Important information on product safety!

Do not place your product near extreme temperatures, vibrations or shocks.

Do not place any objects on the unit.

Remove the protective film from the display.

Important! Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise your clock may be damaged.

Open the battery compartment and remove the battery insulation strip. Close the battery com- partment again.

The two batteries 1,5 V AAA are back-up batteries to maintain the clock operation in the event of blackout or other power failure.

The DCF reception symbol (dot) appears on the 3-D display.

The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal.

When the time code is received successfully after a few minutes, the radio-controlled time appears.

The DCF reception symbol (dot) disappears.

The DCF reception always takes place at 3:15 o'clock in the morning. If the DCF signal is not successfully received at 3:15 clock, it shall be held further attempts until 5:15 clock.

If there is no reception possible (on the display appears 00:00), manual initialization of the DCF reception can be helpful.

On the 3-D display appears again the DCF reception symbol (dot).

If 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: Man- ual settings). Radio-controlled time reception The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one mil- lion 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 1,500 km. Changeover from sum- mer time or winter time is automatic. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geo- graphic location. Normally there should be no reception 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 metres.

Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weak- ened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.

During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 sec- ond.

button in the setting mode for fast running.

The instrument will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed within 20 seconds. NOTE: If the DCF reception is enabled, no settings (time, date and temperature unit) can be made. By default, the DCF reception is activated and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary. HOLOclock - Radio controlled clock with 3-D effect

To make manual settings, you have to disable the DCF reception. This is necessary, for example if you need to change the temperature unit or to set the time manually.

Press and hold SET button for three seconds. “On” (default) appears on the 3-D display. Set the display with the

button from “On” to “OFF”. The DCF reception is deactivated.

Press the SET button again and make the settings in the following sequence: Hours, minutes, month, day, year and temperature unit. Press the

button to adjust it.

If the temperature unit is Fahrenheit the date display automatically moves from the European format (at first the day then the month) to the American format (at first the month then the day).

Confirm the setting with the SET button. NOTE: If you enable the DCF reception again, the manually set time will be overwritten as soon as the reception of the DCF signal is successful (at night the reception is often better).

Press and hold SET button for three seconds.

If the DCF reception is deactivated, on the display appears “OFF”. Set the display with the + or - button from “OFF” to “On”. The DCF reception is activated.

Press the SET button again. The instrument starts to scan the DCF frequency signal (dot).

With the MODE button in normal mode you can select between time, date, year and tempera- ture unit as permanent display.

Press and hold the MODE button to set an automatic change of the display.

button to change between the following modes: M0: In this mode the last selected display is permanently active. M1: Time and indoor temperature in sequence M2: Time and date in sequence M3: Time, date and indoor temperature in sequence

Confirm the setting with the MODE button or press no button within 5 seconds.

With the LIGHT button, the 3-D display can be turned off or on.

button in normal mode and you can select between up to four levels of bright- ness.
