Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, a DCF signal is not received within the first few
minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon disappears.
• If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight, since
interference is generally less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF signal at another location
or you can manually set the time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis. If the
signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
• Press the WAVE button (11) to start the manual search for the DCF signal.
Note – Manual search
• The manual search function using the WAVE button (11) is only possible if the radio
signal is activated (RC ON) – see 5.2. Activating/deactivating the radio signal
and summer time.
• The manual search is automatically aborted after 6-16 minutes.
• Using the WAVE button (11) frequently will drain the battery. We recommend only
using this function to seek out an optimal location for the device.
• Press the WAVE button (11) again to end the manual search.
5.2. Activating/deactivating the radio signal and summer time
• Move the slide switch for RC ON/OFF / DST (10) to the RC ON position (left) to activate
continuous synchronisation with the DCF signal.
Note – Summer time
• When the radio signal is active (RC ON), the clock automatically switches over to
summer time. When summer time is active, DST (Daylight Saving Time) is shown on the
display and the time is set one hour ahead.
