• You can also start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the – button for three seconds.
• The DCF symbol will be flashing.
• To end the reception, press and hold the – button for three seconds
again. The DCF symbol disappears.
• There are three different reception symbols:
flashes - reception is active
stays - reception is good
no symbol - no reception/reception is deactivated
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to distur-
bances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The
clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual settings).
Radio-controlled time reception
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock oper-
ated 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 Frankfurt via frequency signal
DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km.
Changeover from summer time or winter time is automatic. In Daylight
Saving Time is shown on the LCD. The quality of the reception depends
mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no reception
problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.

BINGO – Radio-controlled alarm clock
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 meters.
• 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 reception.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is ade-
quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
