Note
Reception of radio controlled signal
• DCF radio signal search starts automatically after battery exchange. The “radio tower”
signal is flashing.
• The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily fromAM
1:00 to 3:00 to correct potential time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is
unsuccessful (“radio tower“ symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is
made From 4:00 and 5:00 until success.This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If
still not success, daily reception stop.
• Flashing “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception started.
• Continuous “radio tower” symbol stands for DCF radio signal reception successful.
• Please observe a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions
or computer screens.
• The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement)
and in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the clock near a window.
• There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is
usually possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time
display accuracy at 1 second.
