To interrupt the reception process, press the “ “ button (E).
Of course, you can also set the time and date of the base station manually if you don’t get any DCF radio reception.
Bad reception of the DCF signal can be caused by, e.g., well-shielded rooms or buildings, possibly with
vaporised insulation glass windows, specially coated wallpapers or particular methods of construction (ferro-
concrete). Reception is also diminished if the base station is near electrical/electronic devices (television,
computer). The same applies in the vicinity of all metal objects (washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, steel
doors).
