Operation
a) Automatically setting the time
• Once you have inserted the batteries, the product searches immediately and automatically for
the time signal. The reception icon in the shape of a satellite dish flashes in the bottom left
corner of the display.
• This product is able to receive the time signal of four different regions:
- DCF: Germany / Europe
- MSF: Great Britain
When receiving the WWVB signal, the display shows the US map right next to the
reception icon. As for the other three regions, the display shows the respective letter
abbreviation.
When receiving the WWVB signal, you can select one of the four time zones used in
the US. Please refer to the sub-chapter below for more information.
• It takes approx. 3 to 10 minutes for the product to receive the signal and to automatically set the
time. Do not move the product or press any button during that period.
• The product searches for the DCF signal first. If it cannot be received within 2 minutes, the
product starts searching for the MSF signal, then for the WWVB signal and finally for the JJY
signal.

automatic search.
