TIME SETTING
RADIO CONTROLLED TIME RECEPTION:
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen
near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of
approximately 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled Weather Station receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases,
there should be no reception problems within a 1,500km radius around Frankfurt.
After 2 minutes and 30 seconds of initial setup, the DCF tower icon in the clock display
will start flashing in the upper right corner. This indicates that the clock has detected the
presence of a radio signal and is trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the
DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the radio-controlled time will be displayed.
