If the time reception setting is turned ON "1", please set the daylight saving time "1" (ON): the time change will be updated by the DCF-77 signal (as
long as a proper reception is possible).
In case of daylight saving time setting "0" (OFF): the time will be transmitted by the DCF-77 signal, but the clock calculates automatically a "no-DST time".
MANUAL TIME SETTING:
In case the weather station cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The
clock will then work as a normal quartz clock.
