Operation

Battery

Do not puncture batteries or throw them in the fire as they may explode. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries (alkaline). Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations. Keep batteries away from children.

Remove the protection pin before first use! Dispose of it in a safe way. Do not attempt to reinsert the pin afterward as this will surely damage the clock.
Insert a new battery in the battery compartment in accordance with the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.

Working Principle

The clock contains a receiver, which receives a radio signal from a radio station located near Frankfurt, Germany. This long-wave radio signal (DCF77) is based on atomic clocks and contains time and date information. The clock automatically synchronizes with this master clock radio signal and when necessary adjusts the positions of the second, minute or hour hands of the clock. Due to its nature, the radio signal can be received indoors. However, it should be noted that the signal is weakened by the presence of concrete and metal. Therefore, the clock must not be installed in concrete basements or inside metal cages. In large concrete office buildings or apartments, the clock should be located near a window for better reception. Also, avoid installing the clock near strong magnetic fields or other devices that generate a lot of electrical noise (e.g. engines).

Operation

If necessary, remove the protection pin before first use! Dispose of it in a safe way. Do not attempt to reinsert the pin afterward as this will surely damage the clock.

Insert a battery in the battery compartment. All hands will move forward towards 12:00. Note: when the original position of the second hand is between 11:55 and 12:00, the second hand will make a full turn before stopping at 12:00. The same happens with the minute hand when the original position is between 11:52 and 12:00.
Choose a location for the clock (see Working principle).
Wait until the clock receives the synchronization signal from the master clock. This might take up to 7 minutes. Note that the received signal is usually stronger at night.
Once synchronized, the hands will start moving towards the correct time.
When the clock does not receive the radio signal, it will start running showing the wrong time. However, it will keep attempting to synchronize.

Manual Setting
It is possible to set the time manually, e.g. for use in places where no radio signal is received.

Press and hold the manual setting button. After ± 3 seconds the minutes and hour hands start moving.
Hold down the manual setting and release a couple of minutes before desired time setting.
Press the manual setting button repeatedly until the desired time indication is reached.
When no press is detected within 7 seconds, the clock starts running.

Forced Receiving

To force the clock to synchronize, press and hold the forced reception button for± 3 seconds. The current time is stored in memory and all hands will start moving towards 12:00. The clock attempts to synchronize with the master clock.
When synchronization is successful, the hands will move towards the correct time. If it fails however, the hands will move towards the time that was memorized.

Reset

To reset the time and memory, press and hold the reset button with a piece of metal (e.g. a blank paperclip).
All hands will move to the 12:00 position and the memory is cleared. The clock will attempt to synchronize to the master clock.
