Getting started

• Open the battery compartment and insert the batteries (2 x 1,5 V AA and 3 x 1,5 V C).

• Make sure the polarities are

• Close the battery compartment

• The two 5 V AA batteries are required for the function of the clock.

• The three 1,5 V C batteries are required for the

• For the backlight, the device can also be operated by an optional multi-function power supply which can be set to 5 V (not included), instead of the three batteries 1,5V C.

• Insert the adapter into the jack. Connect the power adapter to a wall socket. The unit is ready for use.
  Important! Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise, your clock may be Important: Continuous backlight operation only works with a power adaptor!

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the LCD. When the time code is received successfully after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, and the DCF symbol are displayed steadily in the

• The DCF reception always takes place at 2:00 and 3:00 o’clock in If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 clock, it shall be held further attempts until 5:00 clock.

• If there is no reception possible, manual initialization can be

• Press and hold ▼the /°C/°F button for 3

• The DCF symbol will be

• To deactivate the reception, press and hold ▼the /°C/°F button for three The DCF symbol disappears.

• There are three different reception symbols:
  flashes – reception is active
  stays – reception is good
  No symbol – reception is deactivated

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, ), the time can be set manually. The DCF symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a nor­mal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of the clock and calendar).

Radio-controlled time reception

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a cesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Tech­nische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from the Main flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius of Frankfurt

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is at least5 – 2 meters.
• Inside ferroconcrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
