DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception
is not successful at 03:00 am, then the next reception takes place the
next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If
the reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will
take place the next day at 02:00 am.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does
not appear at all, then please take note of the following:
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the
received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please
place the unit close to a window and/ or point its front or back
towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less
severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1
second.
