What to do if the clock hands do not move after inserting the battery?

First check that you have removed the locking pin located in the battery compartment. If the pin is removed and the hands remain still, wait a few minutes as the clock may be in the DCF signal reception phase. If nothing happens, press the RESET button with a pointed object.

The clock automatically searches for the DCF signal. This process can take 3 to 14 minutes. If it does not receive the signal, you can trigger a manual search by pressing and holding the REC button for 3 seconds. In the absence of signal, use manual setting via the M.SET button.
