DCF time signal reception
After the clock receives and displays the outdoor temperature-humidity
reading, it will start searching for the DCF time signal. The clock will start to
search for the DCF time signal with the icon
will last for around 7 minutes. If the fi rst attempt of signal search fails, the
clock will automatically search for the signal again every 3 hours.
NOTE: signal reception is normally better at night and when the weather is
clear. The radio-controlled signal generally takes a few hours to synchronize, so
it is important to manually set the time and date after powering up the clock.
The clock will start searching for a signal every night at 1:00 am, 2:00 am
and 3:00 am. If no reception, it will try again at 4:00 am and 5:00 am. During
reception, do not press any buttons for the best results.
During reception, the clock does not take temperature or humidity
measurement. The temperature and humidity reading will become stable
and accurate after your clock is powered up for approximately 30 minutes.
Once the clock receives the signal, the time and calendar will be updated
and your clock is ready to use.
It is important to set the clock with the correct time zone and DST (on/off)
in accordance with where you live in order to get the correct time after a
successful DCF signal reception.
