Note – Automatic search
The clock automatically searches for the DCF

time is correct. If the search fails, it ends and is
repeated at the next clock hour. The radio symbol
disappears.
• If the clock repeatedly fails to receive a signal,
press the wave button (5) to manually start the
search for the DCF signal. The radio symbol
starts to flash.
• Press the wave button (5) to cancel the search
procedure.
Note – Manual search
The manual search takes about 7 minutes. If the
search fails, it ends and is repeated at the next
clock hour. The radio symbol disappears.
Note – Summer time
The clock automatically switches to summer time.
Note – Time zone
• The time zone is used if the DCF time signal
is received in a country whose time zone does
not correspond to German time.
• If the time shift is +1 hour, for example, you
need to set the time zone to +1. This will
automatically set the clock forward one hour.
