Radio clock
The built-in radio clock receives automatically the central
european time. The precondition for this is the activation of
the radio clock (see page 22, ‘Radio clock’).
The time zone for eastern or western european time has to
be adjusted (see page 23, ‘Time zone’).
Reception of the radio time signals depends on the distance
of the device from the time signal transmitter Mainflingen
(Frankfurt / Germany) and on the device location (e.g. building).
The device automatically establishes radio communication
with the time signal transmitter at 3 a.m. The symbol
appears in the display when the device is receiving the time
signals. If the device receives no or only inadequate signals,
the attempt is discontinued after 12 minutes and thereafter
repeated hourly until a satisfactory signal has been received.
After activating the radio clock, its symbol is shown above the
stamp picture in the display with following status:
not flashing = reception ok, date / time set correctly.
slowly flashing = poor reception.
The attempt to receive will be discontinued after 40 seconds.
flashing once per second = receiving a good signal: After the
device has received the same time information (date + time)
three times in succession, the time is updated inside the device.
If the device receives different time information, it discontinues
the reception of the time signals after 12 minutes.
Manually triggering of the signal reception :
Press
[ fkt ]
and at the same time press
[ time ]
The period of signal reception is prolonged if stamping operations are
carried out or settings are changed during the attempt to receive signals.
