1.
Locate the movement (
a
) and remove the pointer at the centre of the latter to ensure that the
clock works once the batteries are inserted.
2.
Install the LR06
battery in the movement’s battery compartment (
a4
), respecting the polarities
indicated on the base of the compartment.
3.
A few seconds after the batteries are inserted, the hands will turn. See the procedure below.
AUTOMATIC RECEPTION
DURING AUTOMATIC RECEPTION, DO NOT MOVE THE HANDS OF THE
CLOCK!
DO NOT HANDLE THE DEVICE AT ALL DURING THE AUTOMATIC TIME
SETTING!
The clock automatically receives the DCF signal during insertion of the battery in the battery
compartment (
a
). The hour, minute and second hands automatically reboot at the 04:00am or 12:00
noon position and the clock enters signal receipt mode. The complete procedure lasts around 3 to 15
minutes. The time will be automatically updated where the signal reception is successful.
POOR RECEPTION
During the first 24 hours, the clock will attempt to pick up the signal every hour until it sets itself
automatically.
If the clock
still hasn’t set itself within this timeframe, this may be due to the following reasons:
-
If you’re located over 1,500km from the transmitter in Frankfurt,
-
The region’s topography and weather conditions can affect the reception of the signal.
-
The proximity of electrical appliances without an anti-jamming device
-
The proximity of a television set (within 2 metres)
-
The proximity of a high frequency transmitter device
-
The proximity of a metal structure
Where no signal is received, you can either activate the manual, forced reception of the signal by
pressing the REC button for 10 seconds, or set the clock manually by pressing the "M.SET" button
(see procedure for manual setting below).
MANUAL SETTING
Using the tip of a pen if necessary, p
ress the “M.SET” (
a1
) button on the back of the clock to manually
set the time. If you press it once, the time goes forward a minute. If you press twice, the time goes
forward two minutes. If you press and hold, the minute hand moves forward quickly. Continue to press
it until you reach the desired time. Once the time has been set, release the M.SET (
a1
) button.
Press the “REC” (
a3
) button to come out of manual setting mode and the clock will then operate in
automatic mode. The device comes out of setting mode if no button is pressed for a few seconds.
MANUAL AND FORCED RECEPTION
Using the tip of a pen if necessary, press the “REC” (
a3
) button on the back of the clock for 10
seconds. The hour, minute and second hands automatically reboot at the 12:00 noon position and the
clock enters into automatic signal reception mode. The complete procedure lasts around 3 to 15
minutes.
If the hands
don’t move forward to the current time after receiving the signal, press on the “REC” (
a3
)
button again for 10 seconds so that the clock automatically sets itself to the exact time.
COMMENT
: In the event that the signal reception is interrupted, the clock repositions itself at the
12:00 noon position.
Using the tip of a pen if necessary, press on the "REC" (
a3
) button for 4 seconds to receive the signal.
If the clock still doesn’t work after an hour, press the "REC" button once again for 10 seconds.
It may be necessary to wait for 4, 12 or 24 hours before receiving the signal.
On receipt of the
DCF signal, the hands move forward until they reach the current time. This process may take between
5 to 15 minutes.
