5.2 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 successfully received after some minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• If there is no reception, you can start the initialisation manually. Press and hold the MIN - and the HR - button at the same time for three seconds.

• The DCF symbol flashes.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing again the MIN - and the HR - button at the same time for three seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock in the morning.

• There are three different reception states: flashing – Reception is active remains – Reception is successful disappears – No reception

5.3 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 sig- nal, 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.

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode. TWIST – Radio-controlled alarm clock

• The time starts flashing. Press HR +/- button to set the hours and MIN +/- button to set the minutes.

• Confirm the setting with the SET button.

• The next adjustable value flashes on the display.

• Use the HR +/- or MIN +/- 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 sig- nal no manual adjustment is necessary.

• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated (dcF OFF) the clock must be manually set.

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

6.1.2 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).
