2.1 Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock’s hands now travel to 12 o’clock automatically and the clock tries to receive the radio signal. When the time code has been received after a few minutes, the hands automatically adjust to the current time.
• If there is no reception, you can start the initialisation manually. Press and hold the WAVE button for three seconds.
• The clock’s hands will then move to 12 o’clock again and the clock tries to receive the radio-controlled time again.
• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 2:00 o’clock in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 5:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 22:00 o’clock.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.

2.1.1 Note on radio-controlled time

• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a  DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects. Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

2.2 Manual time setting

• Press and hold the SET button for three seconds.
• Press and hold the SET button until the desired time is indicated.
• Press the SET button briefly. The clock’s hands move forward minute by minute.
• The manually set time is overwritten once the DCF time signal is successfully received.

Changing the battery/ Troubleshooting

• If the radio-controlled clock does not work properly:
  Change the battery. Press the RESET button with a pointed object.
