Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk
that they could be swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed,
consult a doctor immediately.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid
burns when coming into contact with skin, therefore use suitable protec-
tive gloves.
• Normal/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or
thrown into a fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries, due to risk of explo-
sion! Only charge rechargeable batteries that are intended for this pur-
pose; use a suitable battery charger.
• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery/rechargeable
battery (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).

Inserting/Replacing the Battery/Rechargeable Battery
• Open the battery compartment (1) on the rear of the housing and insert a battery of
type AAA/Micro with the correct polarity.
• The correct polarity is indicated in the battery compartment (1).
• After inserting the battery, the clock hands move to the reception position (12.00
noon), and the radio-controlled alarm clock starts to search for the DCF signal (see
chapter "DCF reception").
• Close the battery compartment (1) again.
• The battery needs changing when the clock stops.
Rechargeable batteries can be used. However, the lower operating voltage
(rechargeable battery = 1.2 V, battery 1.5 V) and lower capacity will reduce
the operating time.
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 current time after successfully receiving the DCF signal.
The detection and interpretation of the DCF signal can take about five min-
utes. 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, rein-
forced concrete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electron-
ic devices, or installation 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.
