BATTERIES INSTALLATION
The Projection Clock uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below (the battery cover is located at the back of the unit):
Or
Note:
If the batteries are used as the main power source:
The unit comes with an adapter unit for using the projector for an extended period of time, such as throughout the night.
Make sure that your household voltage is 230V! Otherwise it can result in damaging your Projection clock.
Note:
If the Projection clock is powered through the adapter, the projection will be constantly ON at the highest brightness level unless the brightness level is manually changed to a lower brightness level afterwards. And the brightness of the projection can be change accordingly to enhance the clarity of the projected time by pressing the key.
If the Projection clock is battery operated, the projection will be ON at the highest brightness level only when the SNOOZE key is pressed. The intensity of the brightness level of the projection cannot be changed. If the SNOOZE is released, the projection will be turned OFF.
If the DCF-77 signal is not being received, no keys functions can be used. In that case, either wait for the next reception of the DCF signal or proceed to manual time setting after reset of the clock for activation of the keys function.
If the Projection clock is first powered by batteries and the power adapter is subsequently used for extended period of time, the main power source of the Projection clock will switch to AC/DC power. The batteries will then act as a backup power source in case of power failure.
To reset the Projection clock to the factory default setting or in case of a malfunction, please remove all batteries from the unit and unplug the AC/DC adapter from any power source. Wait at least for 3 minutes before powering up the Projection clock again.
The radio-controlled Projection clock uses the following keys:
SNOOZE | : Activate or deactivate snooze function Alarm snooze function |
: Activate the projection brightness at the highest level | |
: Exit the setting modes | |
: Back-light-On | |
AL/HR | : Enter alarm setting mode |
: Activate or deactivate alarm | |
: Stop alarm and snooze function | |
: Set the hours and day | |
: Back-light-On | |
MODE/MIN | : Enter manual time setting mode |
: Toggle between indoor temperature, seconds, alarm time, and date display | |
: Enter time zone setting mode | |
: Set the minutes, weekday and month | |
: Stop alarm and snooze function | |
: Back-light-On | |
![]() (BRIGHTNESS key) | : Set the brightness level of the projection (in A/C power mode) (4 levels: High, Medium, Low, OFF) |
: Back-light On | |
![]() (DIRECTION key) | : Project the image direction (can display 4 different orientations) |
: Back-light On |
The projector projects the current time onto a wall or ceiling, preferably within a darkened room. It can be adjusted forwards and backwards 180º for maximum projection range. The projection image can also be adjusted to 4 upright positions, each with a rotation of 90º.
To project the time onto a flat surface
Note:
The projector will only project the current time. It will not project the seconds, date or temperature information.
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in every 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. The Projection clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise time and so when within this range the received time is completely accurate.
The Projection clock will automatically start scanning for the DCF-77 frequency signal after the battery is inserted. In normal surroundings (for example away from interfering sources such as TV sets), it takes between 3-5 minutes to receive the signal. If after 10 minutes after having inserted the batteries into the alarm clock and the DCF-77 signal is not received, then check the following list before manually setting the time (see Manual time setting):
Note:
Users may be located in areas where atmospheric disturbances are the direct cause for not receiving the DCF77 frequency signal. During nighttime, atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. With a single daily reception, it is adequate for the alarm clock to keep time deviation to below 0.5 seconds in a period of 24 hours.
When the clock is trying to receive the DCF signal, the reception and the time icons will flash on the LCD. Once the signal is "locked", the DCF-77 tower icon will stay fixed on LCD and the received time will automatically correct the manually set time. As well as the time, the date will also be received by the Projection clock and will be displayed accordingly in the calendar section of the LCD.
If the clock is not able to receive the DCF signal, the reception and the time icons will not be displayed.
To set alarm:
TO ACTIVATE / DEACTIVATE THE ALARM:
Press the AL/HR key. The alarm icon ((( ))) will appear/disappear indicating that it is ON or OFF.
Note: the maximum duration of the alarm ringing is 1 minute 36 seconds.
The snooze time is set as default for 5 minutes by the manufacturer. The snooze mode will be activated from the start of next minute after the SNOOZE key was pressed – it does not count the current minute that it was pressed in.
To use the snooze feature, simply press the SNOOZE key when the alarm is sounding and the alarm will snooze for 5 minutes before automatically sounding again. When the alarm is snoozing, the alarm icon ((( ))) will start flashing indicating that the alarm is active but is in Snooze mode.
To stop the snooze function, press the AL/HR or the MODE/MIN key once.
The Projection clock can display information of date, indoor temperature, seconds and alarm time on the LCD only. The projection will only display the time.
The clock LCD can alternate between the 4 display modes when pressing and the MODE/MIN key:
In some cases after inserting the batteries, the Projection clock may not be able to receive the DCF-77signal. In this situation, the time should be manually set (before manual setting see Checking DCF-77 Reception above).
Note: The Projection clock will still try and receive the signal despite the time being manually set. When it receives the signal, then the DCF tower icon will stay fixed on the LCD. If reception has been unsuccessful, then the DCF tower icon will disappear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.
The date default of the Projection Alarm clock is MO 1.1. in the year 2000. Once the radio-controlled time signals are received, the date is automatically updated. However, if the signals are not received, you can adjust the date manually. To do this:
Central Europe = "0" hour
To change to a different time zone (±9 hours):
Note: If the time zone is changed to another time zone other than "0", the calendar will not be displayed.
The LED back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light will be switched on for approximately 2 seconds before automatically switching OFF. However, if any of the keys are pressed and held down, then LED back-light will remain ON constantly unit the key is released.
It is recommended to replace the batteries in the unit on an annual basis.
Please help in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an authorised depot.
