DCF Reception
Immediately after the battery is inserted, the device makes a first attempt to receive the DCF signal.
The hands of the clock run to the reception position and automatically set themselves to the cur-
rent time after successfully receiving the DCF signal.
The detection and interpretation of the DCF signal can take up to five minutes. Do not
move the radio-controlled alarm clock during this time. Do not press any buttons or
switches!
Bad reception can occur, for example, by metallised insulated glass, reinforced con-
crete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electronic devices, or installa-
tion in cellars.
If after 10 minutes the hands have not moved to the current time, change the location
of the radio alarm clock and remove the battery. After approx. one minute insert the
battery again. This will start a new reception attempt.
The reception attempt for the daily automatic synchronisation with the DCF time is done several
times a day. One successful reception per day is sufficient to keep the deviation to less than one
second.
The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted via a DCF transmit-
ter in Mainflingen (near Frankfurt am Main). Its range is up to
1,500 km and, under ideal reception conditions, and even up to
2,000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal includes the precise time
(theoretical deviation of one second in a million years!) and the
date.
Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle of manually setting
summer and winter times.
Manual DCF reception attempt
• To perform a manual search for the DCF signal (e.g. if you have set up the radio alarm clock in a
different location), turn the multifunctional button (4) upwards and hold it there for approx. two
seconds.
• Then release the multifunctional button (4) again.
• This will start a new reception attempt. Then, as described above, wait until the current time is
displayed.
Setting the Time Manually
The manual time setting is required if the radio alarm clock is to be used beyond the
DCF reception range or when the DCF reception is disturbed by environmental condi-
tions.
• Push the multifunctional button (4) until the time appears in the LC-display (2).
• Press and hold the ZONE button (5) for about two seconds, until the year indicator blinks.
• Set the year by turning the multifunctional button (4).
• Press the ZONE button (5) to confirm and set the month, date, hour and minute, as described
above.
• Press the ZONE button (5) again to confirm.
If you turn and hold the multifunctional button (4) during the setting, the change of the
values takes place continuously.
