to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently
lit and the time will be displayed.
DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not
successful at 02:00 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.
