Display steady Successful - signal reception
Not displayed Inactive – no signal reception
Note – Time settings
• If, during initial setup of the device, a DCF radio signal is not received within the
first few minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon 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 radio signal on a daily
basis. If the signal is received successfully, the manually-set time and date are
overwritten.
• If the station still does not receive a signal, press and hold the RCC button (9) for
approx. 3 seconds to start the manual search for the DCF radio signal.
Note – Manual search
• The manual search is automatically aborted after 6-12 minutes.
• Using the RCC button (9) frequently will drain the battery. We recommend only
using this function to seek out an optimal location for the device.
• Press and hold the RCC button (9) again for approx. 3 seconds to stop the manual
search.
Note – Summer time
