Reception problems
The DCF77 radio signal is transmitted from a location near Frankfurt am Main and
can be received within a radius of approximately 1500 km around Frankfurt am
Main. However, there are some obstacles and sources of interference, which may
substantially hinder reception. If your alarm clock does not correctly receive the
DCF77 radio signal, please hang or place the alarm clock at a different location at
your site. Please note that devices such as computers, telephones, radios and
televisions may cause electromagnetic radiation which can interfere with the DCF77
signal reception. Other possible detriments to reception are: strong building
insulation (metal building materials), nearby mountains or atmospheric interference.
It may also be necessary to replace the batteries.
