Frequently Asked Questions - WT 775 Techno Line

How to set the time manually on the WT 775?

Press and hold the SET button until the desired time is set. The hands advance quickly.

How to activate DCF-77 signal reception?

Automatic reception starts as soon as batteries are inserted. For manual reception, press the WAVE button for more than 3 seconds. The hands move to 12 o'clock and the search lasts 2 to 5 minutes.

What to do if the clock does not display the correct time?

First check the battery polarity. If the time is incorrect, press the RESET button on the back to restart reception. Make sure you are in a DCF-77 reception zone (Europe) and keep the clock away from interference sources.

How to set the alarm time?

Turn the alarm setting knob in the indicated direction to the desired time. The alarm will ring at the set time if the ON/OFF switch is set to ON.

How to turn off the alarm?

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. The alarm will not ring. If it is going off, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button for a 5-minute snooze or wait for automatic stop after 2 minutes.

How to use the snooze function?

When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button located on top of the case. The alarm stops and rings again after 5 minutes. The same button also turns on the light.

What to do in case of poor signal reception?

Place the clock near a window, away from metal surfaces, electrical appliances (computers, televisions) and concrete structures. Avoid mountainous areas or proximity to high-voltage cables. Reception may take 2 to 5 minutes.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

No, the manual recommends only non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries may have a different voltage and damage the device.

How to reset the clock?

Press the RESET button located on the back of the case. The hands move to 12 o'clock and the alarm enters signal reception mode. If reception is successful, the time sets automatically.

Where to place the clock for best reception?

Place it near a window, away from metal objects, electrical appliances and thick concrete walls. The DCF-77 signal range is about 1500 km from Frankfurt, Europe.

USER MANUAL WT 775 Techno Line

WT 775 - Radio controlled alarm clock instruction manual

Start the clock

Insert 1 x Mignon AA LR06 battery into the battery compartment and make sure the battery polarity (+/-) is as indicated. The hands (second, minute, hour) are adjusting to 12 o'clock position and the alarm clock enters into signal reception mode.

Signal reception mode

The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The radio controlled alarm clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.

EN1

Environmental reception effects

The clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the reception is maybe affected by the following circumstances:

• long transmitting distance
  • nearby mountains and valleys
  • near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
• near construction site
• among tall buildings
  • inside concrete buildings
  • inside moving vehicles

- near electrical appliances (computers, TV's, etc) and metallic structures

Place the clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces or electrical appliances.

EN2

a. Automatic signal reception: The automatic signal reception starts by inserting the battery. After 2 to 5 minutes the hands will be adjusted to the correct radio controlled time according to the DCF-77 reception signal. Then, the time will calibrate several times a day with the DCF-77 signal reception signal (also independent setting of summer- and winter time).

b. Manual signal reception: Press and hold the WAVE button longer than 3 seconds to start the manual signal reception. The hands (second, minute, hour) are adjusting to 12 o'clock position and the clock enters into signal reception mode. If the signal is successfully received, the hands adjust automatically to the correct radio controlled time. This procedure takes approximately 2 to 5 minutes. If the signal reception is failed, the alarm clock takes the previously set time again. After the next successful signal

reception the time will be adjusted to the correct radio controlled time according to the DCF-77 reception signal.

Note: The DCF-77 reception is only available in Europe.

Manual time setting

Press and hold the SET button until the desired time is set.

Alarm time setting

Turn the alarm set knob in indicated direction until the desired alarm time is set.

Turn on/ off the alarm

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position, the alarm will ring with a beep alarm when the set alarm time is reached. Turn it to the OFF position, the alarm will not ring.

EN4

Note: If the alarm is not interrupted or turned off, it stops automatically after 2 minutes and rings again after 12 hours.

Snooze alarm & light

Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button (at the top of the case) to activate the snooze alarm after 5 minutes and turn on the light.

Reset

If the clock shows an incorrect time or after changing the battery, press the RESET button on the case back panel to re-start the alarm clock. The hands (second, minute, hour) are adjusting again to 12 o'clock position and the clock enters into signal reception mode. In successful signal reception the time will be adjusted to the correct radio controlled time according to the DCF-77 reception signal.
