Open the battery compartment and insert the two batteries 1,5 V AA. Make sure the polarities are correct.

The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.

The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the LCD. When the time code is received successfully after 3-8 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the LCD.

The DCF reception always takes place at 3:00 o’clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o’clock, it shall be held further attempts at 4:00 and 5:00 o’clock.

If there is no reception possible, manual initialization can be helpful.

The DCF symbol will be flashing.

To end the reception, press and hold the – button for three seconds again. The DCF symbol disappears.

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: Manual 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 million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main- flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. Please take note of the following:

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

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