How a radio-controlled alarm clock works The exact time is received from the official German transmitter DCF77. The transmitter is located in Mainflingen, near Frankfurt on Main. The signal is transmitted on long wave at 77.5 kHz in a radius of approx. 1,500 km (900 miles).
Prior to first use Remove the protective film from the display. Inserting/replacing batteries 1. Slide the battery com- partment lid downwards and lift it up. 2. Insert batteries or replace batteries. Ensure correct posi- tioning of the poles (+/–).

All display indicators appear briefly and the alarm clock switches to reception. The radio reception symbol flashes in the upper right of the display. 3. Replace the battery compartment lid and slide it upwards as far as it will go. You should hear and feel it click into place.
Radio signal reception The alarm clock attempts to receive the radio signal for several minutes. If it does not receive an adequate signal during this time, the reception indicator will switch itself off and the clock will start running from the time of day set so far.
Reception indicators and their meaning The quality of the last signal received was satisfactory, and the time of day has been synchronised with the recep- tion signal. Weak radio signal. Reception of the transmitter was not possible or the time of day was set manually and not synchronised with the transmitter.

Please note: • If adequate reception is not possible, the reception indicator in the display will switch off after a few minutes and the time will con- tinue to run normally as set before. • If reception is adequate, the clock will be set to DCF77 time.
Information regarding the location and possible sources of interference • We recommend placing the alarm clock near to a window. • Do not place the alarm clock on or near metal surfaces. • Allow a distance of at least two metres from sources of interference, for example televi- sion sets, computers, etc.
