6.1 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display.

• When the time code is received after 3-7 minutes, the radio-controlled time will be shown. The DCF symbol remains on the display.

• Activate the reception manually by holding the HOUR/MONTH button for 2 seconds. The clock will now scan the DCF fre- quency signal and the DCF symbol flashes.

LUMIO PLUS – Radio-controlled alarm clock

• The DCF reception always takes place at 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o'clock, further attempts will be taken until 5:00 o'clock.

• There are 3 different reception states: Symbol flashing - reception is active Symbol solid - reception is very good no symbol - no reception/time was set manual

• 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 settings). 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 dis- play. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. LUMIO PLUS – Radio-controlled alarm clock

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.

• Important: The device cannot be operated during the DCF time-signal reception.

• The manually set time is overwritten once the DCF time signal is successfully received.
