CLOCK WINDOW
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The radio controlled signal for time (DCF 77) is transmitted
from the central atomic clock in Frankfurt/Main in short
intervals. It has a reception range of approx. 1500 km. If the
tower icon is not fully lit, or if the time and date are not set
automatically, please consider the following:
• During night-time hours, atmospheric disturbances are
typically less severe and radio signal reception may
improve. A single daily reception is suffi cient enough to
keep the clock accuracy within 1 second.
• Make sure the unit is positioned at 2 meters distance from
any interference source such as a TV, computer monitor,
microwave, etc.
• Within concrete wall rooms such as basements or offi ce
buildings, the received signal may be weakened. Always
place the main unit near the window for better reception.
Once the radio controlled time signal is received, the
date and time will be set automatically, and the [ ] icon
will appear.
