Reception problems
The DCF77 radio signal is transmitted from a location near Frankfurt am Main and can
be received within a radius of approximately 1500 km around Frankfurt am Main.
However, there are some obstacles and sources of interference, which may substantially
hinder reception. If your alarm clock does not correctly receive the DCF77 radio signal,
please hang or place the alarm clock a different location at your site. Please note that
devices such as computers, telephones, radios and televisions may cause
electromagnetic radiation which can interfere with the DCF77 signal reception. Other
possible detriments to reception are: strong building insulation (metal building materials),
nearby mountains or atmospheric interference. It may also be necessary to replace the
batteries.
Restarting radio reception
