DCF-77 Radio controlled time with manual setting option

• 12/24 hour time display • Time display: hour, minute, second • Alarm setting with snooze • Calendar display • Weekday display (4 languages to choose from: German, English, French, and Spanish) • Timer countdown • Memory timer countdown recall • Indoor temperature display in ºC or ºF selectable • Low battery indicator • Wall mount or freestanding Function keys19 SETTING UP:

1. Insert 1 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the timer wall clock. Make sure that the polarity of

the battery is correct (see markings), and ensure that it doesn’t spring free from the contacts.

2. Once the battery is in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly and a brief beep

sound will be hear. Then the indoor temperature, the time as 0:00, the date as 1-1, and weekday will be displayed. Do not press any keys for 10 minutes or until the DCF time code has been received.

3. The DCF time code reception will automatically start. This takes typically between 3 - 5

minutes in good conditions.

4. If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the SET / MIN key to enter into

the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the DCF reception. The clock will then automatically attempt to receive the DCF time. When this is successful, the received time will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time (Please refers to notes on “DCF Radio controlled time” and “Manual time setting”). Note: In the event of changing the battery of the unit, ensure that it does not spring free from the contacts. Always wait at least 3 minutes after removing the battery before reinserting, otherwise start up and transmission problems may occur. BATTERY CHANGE: For best performance, battery should be replaced at least once a year to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the battery used is new and the correct size. Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an authorized depot.20 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME: The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium wall 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 1,500 km. Your radio- controlled Timer clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt. Once the indoor temperature is displayed on the timer wall clock, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start flashing in the upper right corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed. Daily DCF reception is done at and 03:00 and 05:00 every day. If the reception at 03:00 is not successful, then another reception starts at 05:00. If the reception at 05:00 is still not successful, then the next try takes place at 03:00 next day. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then 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 meters.

• 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 nighttime, 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.21 FUNCTION KEYS The timer wall clock has four easy to use keys:

2. Then press and hold the TIMER / MEMO / SNZ or the ALARM / START / STOP key for 3

seconds to return to normal display. POSITIONING Before permanently mounting ensure that the timer wall clock is able to receive DCF signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the timer wall clock. There are two possible ways to mount the timer wall clock:

• use of the foldout table stands, or

The foldout table stand legs are located on the backside. Pull the stands out from the bottom center edge of the timer wall clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stands are extended, place the timer wall clock in an appropriate location.

1. Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 40 mm three screw positions

2. Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission

range— leaving approximately 5mm extended from the wall.

3. Place the timer wall clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the

backside. Gently pull the timer wall clock down to lock the screws into place. Note: Always ensure that the timer wall clock locks onto the screws before releasing. CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

• Avoid placing the unit in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage.

• Avoid areas where the unit can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i.e. direct sunlight, extreme cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which reduces the accuracy of readings.30

• When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

• Do not submerge the unit into water.

• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with new battery of the recommended size.

• Do not make any repairs to the unit. Please return it to the original point of purchase. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate its warranty.
