6. Getting started

6.1 Insert batteries

• Open the battery compartment and insert four new AA 1.5 V batter-
ies, polarity as illustrated.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be dis-
played for a short moment.
6.2 Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF sym-
bol will be flashing on the display. When the time code is successful-
ly received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, the
day of the week and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the
display.
• You can also start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the DOWN button for 3 seconds.
• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the DOWN button again for three
seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the
morning. If the reception is not successfully received until 3:00
o'clock, the next DCF reception attempt will happen at 3:00 o'clock in
the following morning.
• There are three different reception states:
Symbol is flashing – reception is active
Symbol is solid – reception is very good
No symbol – no reception / set the clock manually

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference,
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF
reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a nor-
mal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).
6.2.1 Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock
operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braun-
schweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one
second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from
Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)
and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjust-
ment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In
Daylight Saving Time the DST symbol is shown on the display. The
reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around
Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the
received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place
the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is
adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
• Press and hold the UP or DOWN button in the respective setting mode
for quick setting.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is
pressed for a long period of time.

7.1 Manual settings

• Press and hold the MODE/SET button in normal mode for two sec-
onds.
• The 24 h digit (default) will be flashing. Press the UP or DOWN button
to choose 12 HR or 24 HR system. In the 12-hour system AM or PM
(after 12 o'clock) appears on the display.
Radio-controlled clock with indoor climate
• Press the MODE/SET button again to do the settings in the following
sequence: the radio signal reception (rcc on - default), time zone (00
- default), the day-of-the-week language (GERMAN - default), the
hours, the minutes, the seconds, the year, the month and the day, the
temperature unit (°C - default) and the alarm interval (2 minutes -
default). Press the UP or DOWN button to adjust it.
• Confirm with the MODE/SET button.
• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received and the DCF
reception is activated, the manually set time is overwritten.
7.1.1 DCF reception
• By default, the DCF reception is activated (rcc on) and after success-
ful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.
• In the setting mode, press the UP or DOWN button if you want to
deactivate the DCF reception (rcc OF).
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manu-
ally set.
7.1.2 Time zone setting
• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-23/+23).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF sig-
nal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time
(e.g. +1=one hour plus).
7.1.3 Day-of-the week language
• In the setting mode you can set the day-of-the week language: GER-
MAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, DANISH, DUTCH, CZECH, POL-
ISH, SWEDISH and ENGLISH.
7.1.4 Temperature unit setting
• In the setting mode you can change between °C (Celsius) or °F
(Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
7.1.5 Alarm duration setting
• In the setting mode you can change between 1 or 2 minutes (default)
for alarm duration.

7.2 Alarm time setting

• Press the MODE/SET button in normal mode, to enter the alarm
mode.
• ALARM TIME and 7:00 (default) or the last adjusted alarm time
appear on the display.
• Press and hold the MODE/SET button.
• The hour digits flash.
• Press the UP or DOWN button to adjust the hours.
• Confirm the setting with the MODE/SET button and set minutes in the
same way.
• Confirm the setting with the MODE/SET button and return to normal
mode.
• The switch at the back allows you to choose between two different
alarm functions (Mo-Fr, Mo-Su).
7.2.1 Activate and deactivate the alarm time
• To activate or deactivate the alarm function press the ALARM ON/OFF
button in normal mode.
• The alarm symbol appears/disappears on the display.
• When the alarm is activated and the adjusted alarm time is reached,
the alarm rings.
• Press any button and the alarm will stop.
• If the alarm is not stopped manually, the alarm tone automatically
turns off after two minutes (default) or one minute and will be reacti-
vated at the same set time in the following day.

tion is activated.

• With the suspension device you can fix the device with a nail or a
solid screw and dowel on a wall. The device can be placed onto flat
surfaces with the fold-out stand.
9. Care and maintenance
• Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for an extended
period of time.
