Manual draft for WS6501
DCF 77 RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
There are 4 wave icons flash to indicate 4 levels of RCC signal status:
If there has no wave above the reception tower that means the signal is very weak and the clock
can not be set by the RCC signal, please try to rotate the unit or other windows to seek for a better
RCC reception location. Besides, the RCC signal is the strongest at night, the user can manually set
the clock to locale time and leave it overnight to receive the RCC signal.
If nothing else works, take the clock outdoors after dark at night, remove and re-install the batteries
and leave it overnight to force it to look for the radio controlled time signal. If the clock works
outdoors but not indoors, you probably have a local interference problem inside your house or
building.
Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will
automatically be updated.
Note: During 10 minutes of time signal reception, all manual settings will be suspended. If setting is
desired, press once [
▲
] key to deactivate the reception. You can also press and hold the same key
for 3 seconds to manually activate the reception in normal mode. The clock will work as a normal
quartz clock if it can’t receive the RCC signal.
