This product has been made to the highest standards
of quality, functionality and design. We hope that it will
give you many years of satisfaction.
The Braun time control travel is set and controlled
automatically by the long wave radio signal of the
German time transmitter DCF 77 (Central European
Time). The transmitter is situated at Mainflingen, 24 km
south of Frankfurt/Main. It uses as time source the
caesium atomic clock of the Federal Physical Technical
Institute in Braunschweig.
The radio signal can be received within a minimum
radius of 1000 km of the transmitter depending on the
position of the clock and the local conditions.
Interference can occur as with any radio receiver, f. ex.
caused by external factors such as TV sets, computers
or radios, or by metal paneling in or on buildings (see
separate paragraph «Interference»).
Do not expose to temperatures over 50 °C or
below 0 °C.
Battery
This appliance operates with one AA 1.5 V battery. For
best performance, use an alkaline manganese battery
(type LR 6, MN 1500, AM 3, AA, e.g. Duracell). Do not
use rechargeable batteries, since their voltage level is
too low.
To open the battery compartment, slide the cover (1) in
the direction of the arrow. Make sure the poles of the
battery are properly inserted. Slide the cover back into
the housing until it engages.
Used batteries should not be disposed of with
the household waste. Please dispose of them at
special collection points or return them to your
retailer.
Reception
After inserting the battery, the hands are moving with
increased speed towards the reference position at
12 o'clock.
The display (6) shows a flashing «12», then «00» and
finally, seconds are displayed. If valid time signal is
received (after 2 - 10 minutes), the minute and hour
hands move to the actual time position.
A time check is carried out every 12 hours (2:00 h and
14:00 h): The time is compared with the radio signal
and will be corrected, if necessary.
If signal reception should not be possible at this point
in time, the clock continues to run on its quartz
mechanism.
Interference
Should the reception be disturbed, the display shows
«--». In this case, move the clock to another position
where reception is better.
