Radio controlled operation DCF version (Germany & European countries)
This Braun clock is set and controlled automatically by DCF radio signal. The DCF radio time code signal is broadcast from Frankfurt, Germany. The coverage of the DCF signal is the whole of Germany. The time code signal can be received up to 1500km from Frankfurt. This covers most of Central and Western Europe.

Radio controlled clock operation

1. We strongly recommend you start your clock at night. Once the battery is installed properly, the clock automatically sets itself to 12 o’clock and then begins receiving the signal. Once it has received the DCF signal and processed it accordingly (which takes 3 to maximum 12 minutes), the clock will automatically display the correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is faulty or not possible at the chosen location. Repeat setting at a different location by pressing the RESET button.

The radio-controlled clock attempts to receive the radio signal up to four times each day at 03:00, 04:00, 05:00 and 06:00. During signal reception, the second hand stops at the 12 o’clock position. It will take 3-12 minutes to receive the radio signal.

Note: If the clock has not received a time signal for 24 hours, at 3:00 all hands will move to the 12 o’clock position and the clock will try to receive the signal. It will take 3-12 minutes to receive the radio signal. Afterwards, the hands will move to the correct time or return to 03:12 if reception was not possible. In this case we recommend to reset the clock as described in this manual.

Important
For best reception performance, please read the following instructions.

1. Place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV sets, computers, microwaves, etc.
2. Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal surfaces.
3. Avoid closed areas such as airports, basements, cement office buildings or factories.

Note: Exposure to an electrostatic environment may cause the clock to reset. In this event please follow the instructions as described in this manual to set the clock again.
Manual time setting

1. Press and hold the TIME SET button for 3 – 4 seconds to enter the time setting.
2. Press the TIME SET button for 1 second to advance 1 minute, or
3. Press and hold the TIME SET button for more than 2 seconds to speed up the time setting to the desired time. During manual time setting, the second hand moves and stops at the 12 o’clock position.
4. If the TIME SET button is not pressed for 8 seconds, the clock is set.

Important: Once the desired time is set manually, the clock will correct itself to a Radio Controlled time once a valid signal is received.

Reset function
The clock has a hands setting help function. By pressing the reset button at any time, the hands will automatically move to the 12 o’clock position and then receive signal.
