6.1. Automatic date/time setting using the DCF radio signal
• Once you have inserted the batteries, the display is switched on, an acoustic signal sounds
and the alarm clock automatically starts searching for a DCF radio signal. During the search,
the radio symbol flashes. This process can take 2 to 5 minutes.
• When the wireless signal is received, the date and time are automatically set.

Not displayed Inactive – no signal reception
Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, no DCF radio signal is received within the first few
minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon (4) will go out.
• If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight, since
interference is generally less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF radio signal at another location
or you can manually set the time and date.
• The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on a daily basis (at 1 am and
5 am). If the signal is received successfully, the manually set time and date are overwritten.
