• Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

5.1 Getting the projection alarm clock started

• The projection alarm clock can be operated with 3 x 1,5 V AAA batteries (not included). The batteries maintain the clock operation in the event of blackout or other power failure. In pure battery operation, the backlight is briefly activated with the SNOOZE/LIGHT button and the projection with the Projection HIGH/LOW/OFF button. For a permanent backlight and projection and to conserve battery power, use the supplied power adapter.

• Fold out the projector arm. Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.

• The device is ready for use.

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

• Optional: Open the battery compartment and insert three new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated. Close the battery compartment.

5.2 Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol flashes. Radio controlled projection alarm clock with indoor climate

• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-con- trolled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display. If the recep- tion fails, scanning stops and will be repeated every 2 hours.

• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morn- ing. If the signal is not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.

• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press briefly the SET button in normal mode. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Press the SET button again to stop the reception process. The DCF reception sym- bol disappears.

• There are 3 different reception symbols: flashing symbol - reception is active solid - reception is successful no symbol – no DCF reception

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting dis- tance, etc.), the time can be set manually.

• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: “Manual settings”). 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 signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjust- ment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.

• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception (see “Location and mounting”).

• 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 + or – button in setting mode for fast mode.

• Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to quit the setting mode. The device will automati- cally quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 10 seconds. The device will automatically use the settings you have made so far.

6.2 Manual setting of the clock and calendar

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds to enter the setting mode.

6.2.3 Setting of the time zone

• 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).

10. Location and mounting

• Place the projection alarm clock at your chosen location.

• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio recep- tion. It is recommended to keep a distance of at least 2 metres to possibly interfer- ing sources (TV, computer, microwave, wireless phones, baby monitors) and large metal objects (e.g. refrigerator). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.

• Check whether the DCF radio clock signal can be received.

• If necessary, choose another position.

• Do not use the product in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
