8. Mounting
• With the suspension device you can fix the device with a nail or a solid screw and dowel on a wall. The device can be placed onto flat surfaces
with the fold-out stand.
9. Care and maintenance
• Clean the device with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period of time.
• Keep the device in a dry place.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception
symbol disappears and the clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: Manual settings).
6.2.1 Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in Braun-
schweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjustment to Day-
light Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time the DST symbol
is shown on the display. The reception quality
depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the
unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is ade-
quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
• Press and hold the
+
or
–
button in the respective setting mode for quick setting.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for a long period of time.
7.1 Manual settings
• Press and hold the
MODE
button in normal mode for two seconds.
• The 24 h digit (default) will be flashing. Press the
+
or
–
button to choose 12 HR or 24 HR system. In the 12-hour system AM or PM (after 12
o'clock) appears on the display.
• Press the
MODE
button again to do the settings in the following sequence: the radio signal reception (rcc on - default), time zone (00 - default),
the day-of-the-week language (GERMAN - default), the hours, the minutes, the seconds, the year, the month and the day, the temperature unit (°C
- default) and the alarm interval (2 minutes - default). Press the
+
or
–
button to adjust it.
• Confirm with the
MODE
button.
• Once the DCF time signal is successfully received and the DCF reception is activated, the manually set time is overwritten.
7.1.1 DCF reception
• By default, the DCF reception is activated (rcc on) and after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual adjustment is necessary.
• In the setting mode, press the
+
or
–
button if you want to deactivate the DCF reception (rcc OF).
• Once the DCF time reception is deactivated the clock must be manually set.
7.1.2 Time zone setting
• In the setting mode you can make the time zone correction (-23/+23).
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g.
+1=one hour plus).
