If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at
all, then please take note of the following:
•
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV
sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 meters.
•
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window
and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
•
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and
reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the
accuracy deviation below 1 second.
MANUAL TIME SETTING:
In case the Weather Station cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to
disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be manually set. The clock will
then work as a normal Quartz clock.

Press and hold the ALARM/SET key for around 3 seconds to enter the set mode.

Note:
The unit will still try to receive the signal every hour despite it being manually set. When it
does receive the signal, it will change the manually set time into the received time. During
reception attempts the DCF tower icon will flash. If reception has been unsuccessful, then
the DCF tower icon will not appear but reception will still be attempted the following hour.
