When the transmitter is set up, there is a testing period. Then DCF-77 time code
reception is automatically started just after the clock is activated. This takes
typically
between 3-5 minutes
in good conditions. This time period is an excellent
opportunity to locate the transmitter in suitable location outdoors. In order to
ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission however, the distance between the
Projection clock and the transmitter should not be more than
100 meters
(see
notes on “
Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception
”).
5.
If after 10 minutes the DCF time has not been received, use the MODE/ MIN key
to manually enter a time (and date) initially. The clock will automatically attempt to
receive the DCF time
each day at 2:00 am
. When this is successful, the received
time will override the manually set time.
Note:
Should the total time of inserting the batteries into the transmitter take longer than 1-1/2
minutes from the time of inserting the batteries into the projection clock then
temperature reception problems may occur. If the temperature is not being received,
then see "
868MHZ RECEPTION
"
, before resetting the units.
