6.4 DCF radio-synchronised clock
1. On the initial powering up, the time is initialised at 00h00mn00ss on 01/01/2000.
Radio reception is made on each clock setting in operation and each time the user sets the
time manually.
It is carried out automatically every night at 3am local time.
2. During the night, if reception is not correct after one hour, a new radio search is made the
following night at 3am.
If reception is not correct, the radio pictogram will flash every 5 seconds.
The radio clock is fitted with a double antenna enabling it to pick up the time no matter what
position the clock is in.
