The search process takes about 3 minutes. If the search

radio symbol ( ) goes out.
•
It is not possible to manually set the time and date
during the search for the DCF signal.
•
The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF
signal on a daily basis (between 1 am and 5 am) to
correct any deviations.
•
If the signal is received successfully, the manually set
time and date are overwritten.
Note
– Time settings
•
The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but
always transmits the current Central European Time in
Germany. Please note that for countries with a different
time zone, you must set the time difference manually.
•
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 sets the time
automatically to 3 hours ahead after receiving the DCF
signal or according to the manually set time.
