TUNE – Radio-controlled alarm clock with radio

• Note: To avoid interference, the backlight (and the USB port) turns off during the reception of the radio controlled clock.

• When the time code is received after 3-8 minutes, the backlight is activated and the radio-controlled time will be shown. The DCF symbol remains on the display.

• If the reception fails, the DCF symbol will disappear and the clock will repeat the reception every 3 hours.

• Activate the reception manually by holding the UP button for 3 seconds.

• The backlight will turn off automatically and the DCF symbol will be flashing.

• To end the DCF reception attempt, press the UP button again. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

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

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, 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 base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundes- anstalt 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. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. TUNE – Radio-controlled alarm clock with radio

In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normal- ly there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt. 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.

• Press and hold the UP or DOWN button in setting mode for fast mode.

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 60 seconds.
