Getting started

• Pull the protective foil from the glass cover.
• Insert a new battery 1,5 V AA polarity as illustrated.
• The device is ready for use.

Reception of the DCF frequency signal

• The hands move to 12.00 o'clock.
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal.
• When the time code is received successfully after a few minutes, the radio-controlled time is displayed steadily on the display.
• If the reception is not successfully received it will be repeated every hour. The reception will be tried 12 times.

Note for radio-controlled time DCF:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium 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 Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. The quality of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

Please take note of the following:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened. 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 cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

M SET - Manual setting of the clock

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to distur-bances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock.
• Press and hold the MSET button for three seconds.
• The second hand stops.
• Press and hold the MSET button until the desired time is indicated.
• Press the MSET button briefly the hand moves minute by minute.
• After a few seconds the second hand is moving forward again.
• By a successful reception of the DCF signal the manually set time willbe overwritten.

REC button

• You can start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the REC button for three seconds.
• The hands move to 12.00 o'clock.
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal.

RESET button
