• To activate the DCF reception, press the ALARM button for 2 seconds. The
reception signal - symbol flashes. Press the ALARM button again to stop
scanning DCF time signal.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to disturbances,
transmitting distance, etc.), the clock can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of
the clock, calendar and day-of-week language).
Note for radio-controlled time DCF:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operat-
ed 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. Your
radio controlled clock receives this signal, converts it to shows the precise
time. Changeover from summer time or winter time are automatic. The quali-
ty of the reception depends mainly on the geographic location. Normally
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around
Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer moni-
tors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
• 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 adequate to
keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
