Operation

Note:  Input

• Hold down the UP button (16) or the DOWN button (17) to select the values faster.

Automatic setting using the DCF signal

• Once the batteries are inserted, the clock automatically searches for a DCF signal. During the search, the wireless icon (11) flashes.

• If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the UP button (16) and the DOWN button (17) for approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF signal. The wireless icon (11) will start to flash.

Note:  Time settings

• In the meantime you can, however, set the time and the date manually.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.). If the signal is received successfully, the manually-set time and date are overwritten.

Note:  Summer time

The clock automatically switches to summer time. S (9) appears on the display as long as summer time is activated.
