Housing (Fig. 2)

C 2: Battery compartment
C 3: Stand (fold out)
6. Getting started
6.1 Insert batteries
• Open the battery compartment and insert four new AA 1.5 V batter-
ies, polarity as illustrated.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be dis-
played for a short moment.
6.2 Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF sym-
bol will be flashing on the display. When the time code is successful-
ly received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date,
the day of the week and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on
the display.
• You can also start the initialization manually.
• Press and hold the –
button for 3 seconds.
• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by pressing the –
button again for three
seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 3:00 o'clock in the
morning. If the reception is not successfully received at 3:00 o'clock,
the next DCF reception attempt will happen at 3:00 o'clock in the fol-
lowing morning.
• There are three different reception states:
Symbol is flashing – reception is active
Symbol is solid – reception is very good
No symbol – no reception / set the clock manually
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference,
transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF
reception symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a nor-
mal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).

6.2.1 Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock
operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braun-
schweig (Brunswick), Germany. 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 the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz)
and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjust-
ment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In
Daylight Saving Time the DST symbol
is shown on the display. The
reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius
around Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• 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 and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily recep-
tion is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
• Press and hold the + or –
button in the respective setting mode
for quick setting.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is
pressed for a long period of time.
7.1 Manual settings
• Press and hold the MODE button in normal mode for two seconds.
• The 24 h digit (default) will be flashing. Press the + or –
to choose 12 HR or 24 HR system. In the 12-hour system AM or PM
(after 12 o'clock) appears on the display.
• Press the MODE button again to do the settings in the following
sequence: the radio signal reception (rcc on - default), time zone (00
- default), the day-of-the-week language (GERMAN - default), the
hours, the minutes, the seconds, the year, the month and the day, the
temperature unit (°C - default) and the alarm interval (2 minutes -
default). Press the + or –
button to adjust it.
Radio-controlled clock with indoor climate
• Confirm with the MODE button.
• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received and the DCF recep-
tion is activated, the manually set time is overwritten.
7.1.1 DCF reception
• By default, the DCF reception is activated (rcc on) and after success-
ful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.
• In the setting mode, press the + or –
button if you want to deac-
tivate the DCF reception (rcc OF).
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manu-
ally set.
7.1.2 Time zone setting
• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-
23/+23).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF sig-
nal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time
(e.g. +1=one hour plus).
7.1.3 Day-of-the week language
• In the setting mode you can set the day-of-the week language: GER-
MAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SPANISH, DANISH, DUTCH, CZECH, POL-
ISH, SWEDISH and ENGLISH.
7.1.4 Temperature unit setting
•
In the setting mode you can change between °C (Celsius) or °F
(Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
7.1.5 Alarm duration setting
• In the setting mode you can change between 1 or 2 minutes (default)
for alarm duration.

in normal mode.
• The alarm symbol appears/disappears on the display.
• When the alarm is activated and the adjusted alarm time is reached,
the alarm rings.
• Press any button and the alarm will stop.
• If the alarm is not stopped manually, the alarm tone automatically
turns off after two minutes (default) or one minute and will be reacti-
vated at the same set time in the following day.
