Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, no DCF radio signal is received within the
first few minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon will go out.
• If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight,
since interference is generally less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF radio signal at
another location or you can manually set the time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal every hour. If the
signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
