WATERPROOF RADIO TIMER EDT 3000
INTENDED USE
The waterproof radio timer is intended to be used as a timer, with a time display that
runs forward (count-up timer) or backward (count-down timer). In addition, the timer
features a temperature display, while its water tightness makes it ideal for use in in
wet areas such as bathrooms, saunas, kitchens or laboratories. The timer decodes
the DCF radio signal from the caesium atomic clock in Braunschweig.
The radio timer with temperature display is only approved for battery operation. Do
not use any other power supply. The correct battery type is specifi ed in the "Techni-
cal Data" section.
Any use other than described above is not permitted and can damage the product.
In addition, it can lead to dangers such as short-circuit, fi re etc.
This product complies with the applicable National and European regulations.

NOTES ON BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
- Batteries/rechargeable batteries do not belong in the hands of children.
- Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk that
they could be swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
- Leaking, or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries, in contact with the skin
can cause acid burns, therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
- Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown
into a fi re. There is a risk of explosion!
- Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
Only charge rechargeable batteries that are intended for this purpose; use suit-
able rechargeable battery chargers.
- Never mix normal batteries with rechargeable ones or batteries with different
charge level.
- Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries/rechargeable
batteries (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).

INSERTING/REPLACING BATTERIES/
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Carefully open the battery compartment (12) on the back using a large fl at screw-
driver or a coin and insert a CR 2032 type button cell battery, paying attention to
the correct polarity.
Immediately after inserting the battery, the radio timer will start searching for the
DCF signal (see also section "DCF Reception").
Close the battery compartment (12) again.
The battery must be replaced if the display contrast fades or if there is no display
at all.
 
The use of rechargeable batteries leads to a shorter operating time, because
of the lower voltage and capacity.

DCF RECEPTION
Immediately after the battery is inserted, the device makes the fi rst attempt to
receive the DCF signal. After a successful DCF reception, the clock is automatically
set to the current time.
 
The recognition and interpretation of the DCF signal can take 3-5 minutes.
Do not move the radio timer during this time. Do not press any buttons or
switches!
Bad reception can be caused, for example, by metalized insulated glass, rein-
forced concrete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electronic
devices, or installation in cellars.
If the clock has not adjusted to the current time after 5 minutes, change the
location of the radio timer.
One successful reception per day is suffi cient to keep the deviation to less than 1
second.
The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted via a DCF transmitter in Mainfl ingen
(near Frankfurt). Its range is up to 1500 km and, under ideal reception conditions,
even up to 2000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal includes the precise time (theoretical deviation
of 1 second in a million years!).
Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle of manually setting summer and winter
time.
