Automatic date/time setting using the DCF signal

Once you have inserted the batteries, the display is switched on, an acoustic signal sounds and the alarm clock automatically starts searching for a DCF radio signal. During the search, the radio icon (6) will flash. This process can take 3 to 5 minutes.
When the wireless signal is received, the date and time are automatically set.
Press and hold the °C/°F/WAVE button (10) for approx. 3 seconds to start a manual search for the DCF radio signal.

Note – Time settings

If, during initial setup of the device, no DCF radio signal is received within the first few minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon (6) will go out.
If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight, since interference is generally less at night.
In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF radio signal at another location or you can manually set the time and date.
The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal every hour. If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.

Note – Manual search

The manual search is automatically aborted after 3-5 minutes.
Using the wave °C/°F/WAVE (10) frequently will drain the battery. We recommend only using this function to seek out an optimal location for the device.
