6.4 Radio-controlled time reception
• After the base station has completed the search for the transmitter, the device starts scanning
the DCF signal (radio signal) and the DCF reception symbol flashes.
• When the time code is successfully received after 2-12 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the
date and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
• You can also start the initialization manually.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the WAVE button again for three seconds.
• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
• 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 normal quartz clock (see: 7.1 Manual setting of the clock and calendar).
• There are 3 different reception states:
radio waves are flashing - reception is active
radio waves stop flashing - reception is successful
no symbol - no reception/time was set manual
6.5 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 Braunschweig (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. Your radio clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The
adjustment 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.
