a) General information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used
for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged
(rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle damaged (rechargeable)
batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave
(rechargeable) batteries lying around, as there is a risk that children or pets may
swallow them.
• All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and
new (rechargeable) batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery
leakage and device damage.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into

Changing the battery
• Open the battery compartment cover by pressing the latch.
• Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment (9) in the correct polarity. The correct
polarity (plus/+ and minus/-) is indicated by the markings in the battery compartment. The
radio alarm clock will beep for 2 seconds.
• Replace the battery compartment cover and ensure that the latch
clicks into place.
Rechargeable batteries can also be used. However,
rechargeable batteries provide a lower operating voltage (1.2 V compared to 1.5 V
for a non-rechargeable battery), which results in a shorter battery life.
DCF signal reception
a) Automatic synchronisation
• Once you have inserted the batteries, the alarm clock will automatically search for a DCF
signal. This is indicated by the flashing radio signal symbol ( ) on the display. The alarm
clock will automatically attempt to receive the DCF signal.
• The current time will be displayed as soon as the DCF signal has been decoded.
• During summer, will be displayed to indicate daylight saving time.
Receiving and decoding a DCF signal can take three to five minutes. Do not move
the alarm clock during this time. Do not press any buttons or switches!
Poor DCF signal reception should be expected when the clock is near to
metal-coated insulated glass windows, reinforced concrete, coated wallpapers or
electronic devices, or when the clock is placed in a cellar.
If the correct time is not shown after ten minutes, place the alarm clock in another
location. Remove the batteries and then replace them after approximately ten
seconds. The alarm clock will attempt to receive a signal again.
b) DCF signal
The alarm clock will attempt to receive a DCF signal every hour to ensure that the time is
synced correctly. The alarm clock only needs to receive one signal per day in order to keep the
time accurate to within one second.
