The reception attempt for the daily automatic synchronisation with the DCF time is
done several times a day. One successful reception per day is sufﬁ cient to keep the
deviation to less than 1 second.

The DCF signal is transmitted via a transmitter in Main-

1500 km

2000 km

ﬂ ingen (near Frankfurt). Its range is up to 1500 km and,
under ideal reception conditions, even up to 2000 km.

Among other things, the DCF signal includes the pre-
cise time (theoretical deviation of 1 second in a million
years!) and the date.

This means there is no need for manual setting of sum-
mer and winter time.

MAKING A DCF RECEPTION ATTEMPT

To perform a manual search for the DCF signal (e.g., if you have placed the radio

alarm clock in a different location), press the °C/°F (7) button 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.

SETTING THE TIME MANUALLY

If no DCF reception is possible, the time setting may also be performed manually.
However, the clock keeps searching for the DCF signal several times a day, and auto-
matically adjusts to the DCF time after a successful reception.

Press and hold the SET button (4) until the hour display ﬂ ashes.

Use the ADJ button (5) to set the hour display.

Press the SET button (4) again and set the minutes with the ADJ button (5).
