• Close the battery compartment again.

5. Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock hands move to 3.00 o'clock. The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display. When the time code is successfully received after 3-8 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• You can also start the initialization manually.

• Press and hold – button for three seconds.

• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the – button again for three seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 2:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully re- ceived, the next DCF reception attempt will happen at 3:00 o'clock in the morning.

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to inter- ference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. Radio-controlled alarm clock

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 adjust- ment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automa- tic. In Daylight Saving Time the DST symbol is shown on the display. 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 base- ments, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception. TFA_No. 60.2556_Anleitung 26.09.2019 9:57 Uhr Seite 132726 Radio-controlled alarm clock

• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A sin- gle daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy devia- tion under 1 second.

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 15 seconds.

• Press and hold the + or – button in setting mode for fast mode.

6.1 Manual setting of the time zone and time

• Press and hold the TIME SET button in normal mode for three seconds.

• The clock hands move to 12.00 o'clock (default = without time zone correction). Press the + or – button to make the time zone correction (+3/-3). 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). Radio-controlled alarm clock
