Operation

Automatic setting of the time / date according to the DCF signal

Once the battery is inserted, the display switches on. An audible signal is heard and the alarm clock automatically starts to search for aDCF radio signal. The radio symbol flashes during the search process. This process can last up to 7 minutes.
When the radio signal is received, the date and time are set automatically.

Display	Search for DCF signal

Flashing display

| Active

Permanent display

| Successful – the signal is being received
No display| Inactive

Note: Setting the time

If no DCF radio signal is received within the first few minutes of the initial setup procedure, the search is terminated. The radio symbol disappears.
In the event of reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock standing overnight since the interference signals are generally fewer in number at this time.
Meanwhile, you can carry out a manual search for the DCF radio signal at a different location or set the date and time manually.
The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal every day. Once the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
If no signal is received on a repeated basis, press the WAVE button (8) to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol starts to flash. Press the WAVE button (8) if you wish to end the search process.

Note: Manual search

The manual search process takes about 7 minutes. If this fails, the search is terminated and repeated at the top of the next hour. The radio symbol disappears.

Note: Summer time

The time adjusts automatically to summertime. While summer time is active, (B – 8) appears on the display.

Manual setting of the time format/time / date

Press and hold the TIME button (2) for around 3 seconds to start the manual setting of the time format / time / date.

The radio symbol (9) appears in the display and the clock once again searches for the radio signal.

Note: 12/24-hour format

The time is shown in the 12-hour format by default. If you switch this display to the 24-hour format, the radio signal will go out. The alarm clock will attempt to reach the radio signal automatically at the next time point (usually at night at around 2:00 / 3:00 a.m.). If the radio signal is received successfully, the symbol is shown as normal.
If no radio symbol appears, change the location if necessary and avoid areas with sources of interference (cordless and mobile phones, radio loudspeakers, WLAN, etc.).
