Reception of radio controlled signal
DCF radio signal search starts automatically about 3 minutes after battery exchange. The
“radio tower” signal is flashing.
Press
“+“ and “-“ together for more than 3 seconds to enter or quit the radio controlled signal
reception
The clock synchronizes with the DCF radio signal automatically and daily from AM 1:00 to
3:00 to correct time deviations each hour. If the synchronization is unsuccessful (
“radio tower“
symbol disappears), a further synchronization attempt is made from 4:00 and 5:00 until
success. This process is repeated up until 5:00 AM. If still not successful, the daily reception
stops.
Informations
Flashing “radio tower” symbol is displayed, while DCF radio signal reception is running.
A static
“radio tower” symbol is displayed after the DCF radio signal reception was
successful.
Please keep a minimal distance of 2.5m to sources of interference such as televisions or
computer screens.
The radio signal reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g. in the basement) and
in office buildings. For extreme cases, please put the clock near a window.
There are less atmospheric disturbances at night. A radio time signal reception is usually
possible at that time. One synchronisation per day is sufficient to keep the time display
accuracy at 1 second.
Tip
You can adjust the time manually in case the clock cannot receive the DCF radio signal (due to
interferences, large distance to the sender, obstructions like mountains, etc.) As soon as the radio
signal can be received, the clock will be adjusted automatically.
Radio signal sender coverage up to 1500km distance to Frankfurt/Main.
