7.1 Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display. When the time code is successfully received after 3-7 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, the 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 12/24/

• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing and holding the 12/24/

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 very good No symbol – no reception/ time is 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 setting of the clock and calendar).

Note on radio-controlled time The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.

• 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 and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
