Reception of the Radio signal:

At 1:00am the Radio Controlled clock automatically carries out a synchronization procedure with the DCF signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (The radio mast symbol disappears from the display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full hour. This procedure is repeated automatically up to 5 times.
To start manual DCF signal reception, press and hold the “-” button, If no signal is received within seven minutes, then the DCF signal search stops (the radio mast symbol disappears) and starts again the next full hour.

Please note:

In the process of receiving the RCC, except the “ / ^ ” key, any buttons are not functional, until press and hold down the “-” button for 2 seconds, to exit the RCC receiver function.
- If the clock cannot receive the DCF signal (because the distance is too great to receive a signal from the transmitter in Colorado), you have the option of setting the time manually as mentioned above. As soon as the reception of the DCF signal is possible, then the clock is readjusted automatically.
We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters (8.2 Feet) to all sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors, Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls and in offices. In such extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window.

Hereby, Technotrade declares that this product WT235 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU and ROHS 2011/65/EC. The original EU declaration of conformity may be found at: www.technoline.de/doc/4029665002354
