Warning – Batteries

When inserting batteries, note the correct polarity (+ and – markings) and insert the batteries accordingly. Failure to do so could result in the batteries leaking or exploding.
Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries) that match the specified type.
Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery contacts and the polar contacts.
Do not allow children to change batteries without supervision.
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of a different type or make.
Remove the batteries from products that are not being used for an extended period (unless these are being kept ready for an emergency).
Do not short-circuit batteries.
Do not charge batteries.
Do not throw batteries in a fire.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to enter the environment.
They can contain toxic, environmentally harmful heavy metals.
Immediately remove and dispose of dead batteries from the product.
Avoid storing, charging or using the device in extreme temperatures and extremely low atmospheric pressure (for example, at high altitudes).

Inserting the battery

Remove the battery that was already inserted into the clock, remove the protective film if necessary as well as the contact interrupter, and re-insert the battery with the correct polarity. The clock is ready for operation.

Replacing the battery

Remove and dispose of any used batteries. Insert the new battery (AA).
Ensure that the polarity of the battery corresponds to the symbols in the battery compartment.

Warning – Mounting Note:

Before mounting the clock, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there are no electrical wires, water, gas, or other lines at the installation site on the wall.
Purchase special fastening materials from specialized dealers.
Do not mount the product above locations where people might be.

Once the battery is inserted properly, the clock will automatically be set to 12:00 pm and its reception will be activated. As soon as the DCF signal was received and processed (approx. 3 minutes up to a maximum of 15 minutes), the correct time is displayed automatically.
Do not move the clock during this process.
If the clock has not correctly set itself after 15 minutes, there is a problem with the reception or with the selected location.
Repeat the setting process at another location. To do this, remove the battery for approximately 1 minute and then reinsert it into the battery compartment. After you have changed the location of the device, use a pointed object (e.g. a pen) to press and hold the REC button for about 2 seconds. The clock automatically sets itself to the 12 o’clock position and is once again ready to receive the DCF signal.

Note

Note that electronic devices such as TVs, PCs, etc. can interfere with reception when located within up to two meters of the product.

Manual setting

If a DCF signal can definitely not be received at the installation location, set the time manually.
To set the time manually, use a pointed object (e.g. a pen) to press and hold the SET button. The clock will continue to advance as long as the SET button is held.
If you press the RESET button, the clock automatically moves to the 12 o’clock position, even if you do not hold the button.

Only clean this product with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, and do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Make sure that water does not get into the product.
