DCF reception
Immediately after the battery is inserted, the device makes a first attempt to receive the DCF
signal. The hands of the clock run to the reception position and automatically set themselves to
the current time after successfully receiving the DCF signal.
It may take a few minutes for the clock to receive a DCF signal. Do not move the
clock during this time. Do not press any buttons or switches!
Poor DCF signal reception should be expected when the clock is near to metal-
coated insulated glass windows, reinforced concrete, coated wallpapers or
electronic devices, or when the clock is placed in a cellar.
If after 12 minutes the hands are still not showing the current time, relocate the
product and press and hold the
REC
button for approx. 5 seconds. The clock
attempts to receive a time signal again.
The DCF time is automatically synchronised every day.
This is sufficient to keep the time accurate to within one
second per day.
The DCF radio time signal, sent from a transmitter in
Mainflingen (near Frankfurt am Main, Germany), It has
a range of up to 1500 km, increasing to 2000 km in ideal
reception conditions.
The DCF signal contains information such as the exact
time and date (with a theoretical time deviation of one
second every million years).
There is no need to set the summer and winter time
manually.
Manually performing the DCF signal reception attempt
• Press and hold the
REC
button for approx. 5 seconds. The clock attempts to receive a time
signal again.
• It will take about 3 to 12 minutes for the current time to be displayed.
Manually setting the time
The time cannot be set manually while the product is looking for the DCF signal.
• Press and hold the
M.SET
button for approx. 5 seconds. Release the button as soon as the
second hand stops.
• Press and hold the
M.SET
button again until the hands have nearly reached the correct
position. Then release the button short before.
•
Briefly press the
M.SET
button to set the minute hand one minute ahead. In this way you can
set the time to the exact minute.
After approx. 8 seconds without pressing any buttons, the clock leaves manual
setting mode and runs as normal.
As soon as the product receives the DCF signal again, the time will be automatically
set by radio signal.
Alarm
If enabled, the alarm sounds twice per day at an interval of 12 hours.
a) Setting the alarm time
• The red hand displays the alarm time.
• Turn the adjustment dial in direction of the arrow to set the alarm time.
Never turn the adjustment dial in the opposite direction of the arrow. This could
damage the clock mechanism.
b) Enabling/disabling the alarm
You can turn the alarm on/off with the side-mounted switch.
•
Switch up (ON position): Alarm enabled
• Switch down (OFF position): Alarm disabled
c) Snooze function
When the alarm sounds, press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
button. The alarm will sound again after
5 minutes.
d) Turning off the alarm signal
When the alarm sounds, slide down the switch to the
OFF
position. Otherwise the alarm signal
goes out after 2 minutes.
Clock face light
Press the
SNOOZE/LIGHT
button to illuminate the clock face for approx. 5 seconds.
Reset
If any malfunction occurs, press the
RESET
button. The hands go to the 12:00 position and the
product will search again for the DCF signal.
