7.1 Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display. When the time code is suc- cessfully received after 3-7 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, the current day of the week and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• You can also start the initialization manually.

• Press and hold the ▼ button for 3 seconds.

• Interrupt the reception by holding and pressing the ▼ button again. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not success- fully received, another DCF reception will take place the next full hour (up to 2 times).

• There are three different reception states: Symbol flashing – reception is active Symbol solid – reception is successful no symbol – no reception/time was set manually

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manu- ally. The DCF reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings). Note on radio-controlled time

The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjust- ment of Daylight-Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.

• Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects. With- in concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception. BOXX2 – Radio-controlled alarm clock with indoor climate

• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accu- racy deviation under 1 second.

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode.

• The first adjustable value flashes on the display.

• Use the ▲ or ▼ button to make the desired setting.

• Confirm with the SET button and go to the next setting.

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (DCF ON) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjust- ment is necessary.

• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated (DCF OFF) the clock and the date must be manually set. No time zone will appear.

• If the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time will be overwritten by the DCF time when the signal is received successfully.

8.1.2 Time zone setting

• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction

• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).
