6. Getting started
• Open the battery compartment and insert one new battery 1,5 V C, ensure that the polari-
ty is correct.
• Your clock is ready for use.
• The clock's hands will move to 12 o'clock and the clock will try to receive the radio signal (3 -
12 minutes).
• When the time code is received, the radio-controlled time will be shown.
• Twelve times a day the clock will receive the radio signal.
• Manual initialization can be helpful. Press and hold REC button for 5 seconds. The clock's
hands will move to 12 o'clock and the clock will try to receive the radio signal (3 - 12 min-
utes) again.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting
distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz
clock. (See: Manual setting of the clock).
Note for radio-controlled Time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less than one
second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frank-
furt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately
1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise
time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. The quality of the recep-
tion depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception
problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is
at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the recep-
tion.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is pos-
sible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation
