proximately 1,500 kilometres. If the [ ] tower icon is not fully lit [ ], or if
the time and date are not set automatically, please consider the following:
During nighttime hours, atmospheric disturbances are typically less
severe and radio signal reception may improve. Reception once a day
is suffi cient to keep the clock accurate within 1 second.
Make sure the unit is positioned at least 2 metres (8 feet) from any
interference source, such as a TV, computer monitor or microwave.
Within concrete- and metal-walled rooms, such as basements or offi ce
buildings, the signal may be weakened. In such cases, place the base
station near the window for better reception. Sometimes it also helps to
turn the unit by 90°.
Note: In the setting situations described below, the unit will automati-
cally exit the programming mode if it does not detect a button press
for about 2 minutes. Any setting made before this will not be acknowl-
edged by the unit. Therefore, after you have made changes to the
settings, close the setting mode as described in the below chapters to
save your changes.
HOW TO SET THE RADIO-CONTROLLED CLOCK
1. After the batteries are installed, the clock will search for the radio
signal automatically (DCF77 from Germany). It takes about 3-10
minutes to fi nish this process, and the icon [
] will fl ash constantly.
The icon [ ] will be displayed during good reception and [ ] dur-
ing poor reception.
2. If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature, hold
▲
for 3 sec-
onds to disable it. Having done that, the tower icon will disappear.
3. To enable the auto-reception feature again, hold
▲
for 3 seconds
again to start the reception and regular synchronization (daily at
0:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 12:00).
