Braun AB 65 Mode D'emploi page 7

English
This product has been made to the highest standards
of quality, functionality and design. We hope that it will
give you many years of satisfaction.
The Braun quadrondo is set and controlled automa-
tically by the long wave radio signal of the German time
transmitter DCF 77 (Central European Time). The trans-
mitter is situated at Mainflingen, 24 km south of
Frankfurt/Main.
It uses as time source the caesium atomic clock of the
Federal Physical Technical Institute in Brunswick.
The radio signal can be received within a minimum
radius of 1000 km of the transmitter depending on
the position of the clock and the local conditions.
Interference can occur as with any radio receiver, f. ex.
caused by external factors such as TV sets, computers
or radios, or by metal paneling in or on buildings (see
separate paragraph «Interference»).
Inserting the battery
This appliance operates with one AA 1.5 V battery. For
best performance, use an alkaline manganese battery
®
(type LR 6, MN 1500, AM 3, AA, e.g. Duracell ).
Do not use rechargeable batteries, since their voltage
level is too low.
To open the battery compartment, press on the lid
closure and lift it. Insert the battery with the poles in the
proper direction. To close the battery compartment,
re-insert the lid and press until it engages.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with
the household waste. Please dispose of them at
special collection points or return them to your
retailer.
Reception
After inserting the battery, the hands are moving with
increased speed towards the reference position at
12 o'clock.
If valid time signal is received (after 2 – 10 minutes), the
minute and hour hands move to the actual time
position.
A time check is carried out every 12 hours (2:00 h and
14:00 h): The time is compared with the radio signal
and will be corrected, if necessary.
If signal reception should not be possible at this point
in time, the clock continues to run on its quartz
mechanism.
Interference
Should the reception be disturbed, move the clock to
another position where reception is better.
If the clock is not being set automatically (no reception),
it can be set manually.
