Radio controlled operation DCF version
(Germany & European countries)
The Braun BC17-DCF is set and controlled automatically by DCF
radio signal. The DCF radio time code signal is broadcast from
Frankfurt, Germany. The coverage of the DCF signal is the whole
of Germany. The time code signal can be received up to 1500km
from Frankfurt. This covers most of Central and Western Europe.
Radio controlled clock operation
1. We strongly recommend you start your clock at night. Once the
battery is installed properly, the clock automatically sets itself to
12 o'clock and then begins receiving the signal. Once it has
received the DCF signal and processed it accordingly (which takes
3 to maximum 12 minutes), the clock will automatically display the
correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is
faulty or not possible at the chosen location. Repeat setting at
a different location by pressing the RESET button.
Note: The radio-controlled clock receives the radio signal twice
each day at 3:00 and 5:00. During the signal reception, the
second hand stops at 12 o'clock position. It will take 3-12 minutes
to receive the radio signal.
Important
For best reception performance, please read the following in-
structions.
1. Place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV sets,
computers, microwaves, etc.
2. Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal surfaces.
3. Avoid closed areas such as airports, basements, cement office
buildings or factories.
Note: Exposure to an electrostatic environment may cause the
clock to reset. In this event please follow the instructions as
described in this manual to set the clock again.
Manual time setting
1. Press and hold the M.SET button for 3 - 4 seconds to enter the
time setting.
2. Press the M.SET button for 1 second to advance 1 minute, or
3. Press and hold the M.SET button for more than 2 seconds to
speed up the time setting to the desired time. During the
manual time setting, the second hand moves and stops at the
12 o'clock position.
4. If the M.SET button is not pressed for 30 seconds, the clock is
set. Alternatively the REC button can be pressed to set the
clock.
Important: Once the desired time is set manually, the clock will
correct itself to a Radio Controlled time once a valid signal is
received.
Reset function
By pressing the RESET button at any time, the hands will
automatically move to the 12 o'clock position and then receive the
signal.
Force radio controlled clock operation
1. Press and hold the REC button for 3-4 seconds to force the
clock to receive the DCF signal. The second hand moves and
stops at the 12 o'clock position. Once it has received the DCF
signal and processed it accordingly (which takes 3 to
maximum 12 minutes), the clock will automatically display the
correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is
faulty and it will default to the time before the forced
reception.
