Conrad 2522653 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 4

• The clock automatically attempts to receive a DCF signal six
times per day at 01:22, 05:22, 09:22, 13:22, 17:22 and 21:22 and
stops reception attempts as soon as the signal has been received
successfully.
• Once the clock has received a signal, it syncs with the DCF time
three times a day at 01:22, 03:22 and 05:22. This is sufficient to
keep the time accurate to within one second per day.
• The DCF signal is sent from a transmitter in Mainflingen (near
Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and has a range of up to 1500 km,
increasing to 2000 km in ideal reception conditions. The DCF
signal contains information such as the exact time and date (with a
theoretical time deviation of one second every million years). There
is no need to set the summer and winter time manually.
c) Manual DCF signal reception
• To search for a DCF signal manually (for example, when you move the clock to a new location
and need the clock to search for a DCF signal again), press and hold the REC button for
3 seconds. The clock will stop for 3 to 10 minutes while it searches for a DCF signal. Wait
until the correct time is displayed. If the clock fails to receive a signal, the hands will start
moving again. For example, if the time was 13:00 when the clock started to search for a
signal and the search attempt lasted 5 minutes, the clock will display 13:05 when the search
attempt ends.
d) Setting the time manually
• You may need to set the time manually, for example when the clock is not within range of
the DCF signal.
• To set the time manually, press the M.SET button (3) button for three seconds. The second
hand will stop for approx. 5 seconds for you to set the time. If the hand starts moving again,
press the M. SET button for three seconds to go back to the manual time setting mode.
Alternatively, stop the clock by pressing the REC button, and then set the time using
the M. SET button as follows:
• Press the M.SET button briefly to adjust the time minute by minute, or press and hold to
adjust the time continuously.
• When you release the M.SET button, the new time will be applied after 5 seconds and the
clock will display the home screen.
e) Resetting the clock
• Use the reset function if the clock fails to respond when you press the buttons or if you
encounter other issues (e.g. the clocks fails to receive a DCF signal). Resetting the clock will
delete all previously received DCF data. Before resetting, check whether you can receive a
signal in another location.
• To reset the clock, press the RESET (1) button with a pointed object (e.g. a pen).
• The hands will move to the 12:00 position and the clock will attempt to receive a new DCF
signal.
• Wait 2 – 5 minutes for the time to be displayed.
f) Removal from service
• To remove the clock from service (e.g. when moving house), perform a factory reset (see
"Resetting the clock" for details).
The locking pin (4) can only be inserted when the hands are pointing to 12:00.
Remove the battery before inserting the locking pin.
Care and cleaning
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as
these could damage the housing or even impair the functioning of the product.
• The clock does not require any maintenance apart from changing the battery, therefore do
not attempt to dismantle it.
• Remove the battery before cleaning.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
• Dust can be easily removed using a soft clean brush.

Troubleshooting
The clock is not synchronising or reception is intermittent:
- The clock is out of range of the DCF transmitter or there is interference from the
surroundings.
- Move the clock to a different location and switch off devices that may be interfering with
reception such as TVs, computers or microwave ovens.
- Avoid placing the clock close to large metal surfaces that may block reception. Metal-
coated windows may also affect signal reception.
- To synchronise the clock, place it by a window with either the front or back facing towards
Frankfurt, Germany.
- Leave the clock switched on overnight to reduce atmospheric interference.
- Reset the clock (see "Resetting the clock" for details).
Disposal
a) Product
This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the
EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as
unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose
of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators,
which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from
the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the
WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.
Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back
of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our
website):
- in our Conrad offices
- at the Conrad collection points
- at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set
up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in
countries outside of Germany.
b) (Rechargeable) batteries
Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the
product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent
batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled
with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The
abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb
= Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our
stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations
and contribute to environmental protection.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit
and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal.
Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them
to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
