Frequently Asked Questions - WT 290 TECHNOLINE

How to set the time manually?

Press and hold the SET button until the hour digits flash. Use °C/°F/HAUT or 12/24/BAS to set the hour, then press SET to confirm. Repeat for minutes, year, month, day, and time zone. No key press for 30 seconds automatically exits.

How to activate or deactivate DCF77 reception?

To start manual reception, press and hold the 12/24/BAS button in normal time display. The antenna icon flashes. To stop it, press and hold 12/24/BAS again. Automatic reception occurs every day at 1:00 am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am, 4:00 am, and 5:00 am.

What to do if the displayed time is wrong?

If the time is incorrect, you can start a manual reception by holding 12/24/BAS to search for the DCF77 signal. If that fails, set the time manually using the SET button. Make sure the device is placed near a window, away from metal obstacles or electronic devices.

How to set the alarms?

To set alarm 1, press ALARM 1 to activate/deactivate. Press and hold ALARM 1 to enter setting mode: set the hours with °C/°F/HAUT or 12/24/BAS, confirm with ALARM 1, then set the minutes and confirm. Do the same with ALARM 2 for the second alarm.

How to use the snooze function?

When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button to activate the snooze. The alarm will sound again after 5 minutes. The Zz and alarm icons flash. To stop the alarm, press any other button.

How to change the temperature unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit)?

In normal display mode, press the °C/°F/HAUT button to switch between °C and °F. The unit changes immediately.

What to do if the low battery indicator lights up?

The low battery icon appears when the batteries are nearly depleted. Replace them quickly with 3 new AAA alkaline batteries, observing polarity. Always replace all batteries at the same time.

Why does the DCF reception icon flash or disappear?

The icon flashes while searching for the DCF77 signal. If reception is successful, it stops flashing. If it disappears, reception has failed. This can be due to excessive distance, obstacles (mountains, buildings), interference (high-voltage cables, electrical devices), or unsuitable position. Place the device near a window.

How to clean the device?

Clean the device with a soft dry cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive products. Avoid any contact with water or moisture. Do not immerse the device in water.

What to do in case of malfunction (abnormal display)?

If the device displays irrelevant time or does not work correctly, remove the batteries and reinsert them after a few seconds, observing polarity. This restores default settings. You will then need to reconfigure the time, alarms, etc. If the problem persists, check the reception environment.
