4.2 Getting the base station started
• The base station can be operated with a mains adapter and/or with 3 x 1.5 V AAA batteries (not included).
The batteries maintain the function in the event of a power failure, so that no readjustment has to be made
and the memory values are retained. For a permanent backlight and to conserve battery power, use the
supplied power adapter.
• Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.
• The device will alert you with a beep and all LCD segments will be displayed for a short moment.
• The device is ready for use.
• Optional: Open the battery compartment and insert three new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
Close the battery compartment.
4.3 Reception of outdoor transmitter
• The base station tries to scan the outdoor temperature for 60 seconds and the reception symbol flashes
• If the reception is successful, the outdoor temperature and the reception symbol appear steadily on the
base station display.
• If the reception of the outdoor temperature fails, "- -,-" remains on the display. Check the batteries and try
it again.
4.3.1 Note on transmitter search
• You can also start the outdoor transmitters search manually later (e.g. if the transmitter is lost or if the bat-
teries are changed).
• Hold the CH button on the base station for three seconds. The reception symbol for the outdoor transmitter
will be flashing.
• Press the TX button in the transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data takes
place immediately and if the reception is successful, the outdoor temperature appears on the base station
display.
• If the transmitter signal is lost, the device automatically starts a transmitter search for 60 seconds after
30 and 60 minutes. If the reception fails, scanning will be repeated every hour for 3 minutes.

4.4 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF
symbol flashes on the display.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF
symbol will be shown steadily on the display.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the signal is not suc-
cessfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually in normal mode. Press the –/MIN button for 3 seconds.
The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• Interrupt the reception by holding and pressing the –/MIN button again. The DCF reception symbol disap-
pears.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can
be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: "Manual settings").
4.5 Note on radio-controlled time
• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency
signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and
always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception (see "Location and
mounting").
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate
to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
