Note – Time zone
• The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but
always transmits the current Central European Time in
Germany. Make sure you set the time difference in countries
with another time zone.
• If you are in Moscow, for example, the time is 3 hours later
than in Germany. This means that you should set +3 for
the time zone. The clock then automatically sets the time
to 3 hours after the DCF signal received or relative to the
manually set time.
