Radio-controlled clock with calendar
6.2 Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock hands now travel to 12 o'clock automatically and the radio-controlled clock
tries to receive the radio signal for 3 - 12 minutes. When the time code has been
received, the clock hands automatically adjust to the current time.
• The DCF symbol, the weekday, the day and the month will be shown steadily on the
display. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display.
• DCF radio reception takes place automatically up to 4 times a day. (3:00, 4:00, 5:00,
6:00).
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press and hold the + button for
three seconds. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• The clock hands will then move to 12 o'clock and the clock tries to receive the radio
signal again.
• Press and hold the + button again for 3 seconds during the active DCF77 signal recep-
tion to stop scanning the DCF time signal. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
• There are three different reception states:
flashing – Reception is active
remains – Reception is successful
disappears – No reception / set the clock manually
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting dis-
tance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
Note on radio-controlled time
• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5
kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock
receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of
Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic. Provided that in the setting
mode the function is activated (default DST ON).
• Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens,
TV sets or solid metal objects. Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as
basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place
the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
