The DCF time is automatically synchronised every day. This is sufficient to keep the
deviation less than one second per day.
The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted via a DCF
transmitter in Mainflingen (near Frankfurt am Main). Its
range is up to 1500 km and, under ideal reception condi-
tions, even up to 2000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal includes the precise
time (theoretical deviation of one second in a million
years!) and the date.
Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle of manually set-
ting up summer and winter times.

tion attemPt
-
To perform a manual search for the DCF signal (e.g., if you have placed the ra-
dio alarm clock in a different location), keep the buttons UP (4) and DOWN (8)
pressed simultaneously for three seconds.
-
This will start a new reception attempt. Then, as described above, wait for a few
minutes until the correct time is displayed.
-
To interrupt the DCF reception attempt, keep the buttons UP (4) and DOWN (8)
pressed likewise at the same time for three seconds
manual settings
Manual setting is only necessary when the radio-controlled alarm clock is
used outside of the DCF reception range, if you want to display a different
time zone other than Germany, or if the DCF reception is disrupted due to
environmental conditions.
If the settings were changed and after that DCF reception is again desired,
a manual DCF reception attempt (see above) must be made.
The setting mode is automatically terminated after the lapse of 15 seconds
without any entry.
-
Keep the MODE (1) button pressed for three seconds to access the setup mode.

Set the desired display format (12/24 h) by the UP (4) or DOWN (8) buttons.
-
Press briefly the MODE button (1).
-
Set the hours display using the UP (4) or DOWN (8) buttons.
-
Press briefly the MODE (1) button and set other indications (minutes, seconds,

DOWN (8) buttons.
Days of the week can be displayed in 8 different languages:
GE = German
FR = French
ES = Spanish
IT = Italian
NE = Dutch
DA = Danish
RU = Russian
EN = English
The time zone can be changed in a +/-12 h range. Deviation of the time zone
refers to the time zone of Germany.
