Radio-controlled alarm clock with temperature
- Interrupt the reception by pressing the DOWN button again for three seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
- The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
- There are three different reception states:
flashing- Reception is active
remains - Reception is successful
disappears - No reception
- If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
6.3 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 adjustment 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. Within 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.

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