About the time signal transmitter DCF77
Starting signal reception of the time signal manually
If the radio signal symbol to the left is no longer displayed, the radio signals
from the time signal transmitter are no longer being received. The time
indicator nevertheless continues precisely.
− Press the
button. The signal reception is thus started manually.
Pay attention to the following:
If the reception was not successful, the reception symbol fades out after a few
minutes and the time on the display continues normally.
Upon successful signal reception, the radio-controlled clock adjusts itself to the
time of the time signal transmitter. If you have already made manual time and date
settings, they will be adjusted automatically.
Choosing a location
NOTE on material damage
Protect the radio-controlled clock from dust, shocks, extreme
temperatures, direct sunlight and moisture. Only place the
radio-controlled clock in a dry, closed room.
Maintain distance from TV sets, computers, and monitors. Base stations of cordless
telephones should also not be in the immediate vicinity of the radio-controlled
clock.
Depending on your location, it may occur in rare individual cases that the
radio-controlled clock receives signals from another time signal transmitter or
even alternately from two time signal transmitters. This is not a fault in the device.
In this case, change the location for the radio-controlled clock.
The weather, e.g. a heavy storm, can cause interference with the reception.
Temporary shutoffs of the transmitter can sometimes happen, e.g. because of
maintenance work.
Setting up/hanging the radio-controlled clock
The radio-controlled clock has a hanging loop on the back and a two-part fold out
support foot.
− Hang or place the radio-controlled clock as near as possible to a window. Here, the
reception will generally be best.
