Operation
If the alarm clock is out of range of the radio signal
transmission or has weak radio signal, the clock will still
run as a quartz clock, until it receives the radio signal
again.
Place the alarm clock at least 1 meter away from
electronic appliances (such as TV sets, microwave ov-
ens, speakers, computers or metallic objects). If you
use the alarm clock in reinforced concrete buildings,
place the unit close to windows or other openings of the
building.
Please note that strong radio and electric supply facili-
ties, airports, railway routes, high-voltage lines, trans-
former stations, mountains, valleys etc. as well as neon
lights and bad weather conditions have an influence on
the quality of the radio signal.
Setting Time/Date
After inserting the batteries, the alarm clock automatically
receives the radio time signal and synchronises to it. The
synchronisation process may take several minutes. During
synchronisation the radio icon (9) flashes on the dis-
play. After a successful time signal reception, the current
time and date are displayed. During daylight saving time
the DST symbol (10) is displayed as well.
Note: The alarm clock starts scanning for the radio time
signal several times a day.
If reception of the radio time signal is not possible, you
can manually set the alarm clock as follows.
