Manual settings
Manual setting of the time and date is only necessary when the radio-controlled alarm
clock is used outside of the DCF reception range, if you want to display a different time
zone other than Germany, or if the DCF reception is disrupted due to environmental
conditions.
If the settings are changed, a manual DCF reception attempt (see above) must be per-
formed so that the time is once again synchronised with the DCF time.

Troubleshooting

By purchasing this radio-controlled alarm clock, you have acquired a product that has been de-
signed to state of the art quality and that is operationally reliable. Nevertheless, problems or faults
may occur.
Therefore, we would like to describe here how to eliminate possible faults.
The clock does not synchronise or only has temporary reception:
• The distance to the DCF transmitter is too great or restricted by geographical conditions.
• Relocate the product; switch off interfering devices such as TV sets, computers or microwave
ovens.
• Avoid a location in the vicinity of large metal surfaces, which may shield the radio signals. Win-
dows with a vapour deposited metal layer can also influence the signal reception.
• Place the clock near a window for synchronisation, and align the front or back side in the direc-
tion of Frankfurt (Germany).
• Leave the clock switched on overnight to reduce atmospheric interference.
The displayed temperatures are not correct:
• The clock is exposed to direct sunlight.
• The clock is located too close to a heat source (heater, electronic device, etc.)
The display shows confused symbols or nothing is displayed at all:
• Press the RESET button (6) with a sharp object (e.g. a straightened paper clip). The built-in
microprocessor is reset and the clock goes back into DCF reception mode.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be dissembled for any reason.
Please use a soft, dry, clean cloth for cleaning.
Do not use aggressive detergents as these can cause discolouration of the case.
Do not press on the sensitive display surface.
