Radio controlled operation DCF version
(Germany & European countries)
The Zeon CE4550-DCF is set and controlled automatically by DCF radio
signal. The DCF radio time code signal is broadcast from Frankfurt,
Germany. The coverage of the DCF signal is the whole of Germany. The time
code signal can be received up to 1500km from Frankfurt. This covers most
of Central and Western Europe.
Radio controlled clock operation
1. Once the battery is installed properly, the clock automatically sets itself to
12 o’clock and then begins receiving the signal. Once it has received the
DCF signal and processed it accordingly (which takes 3 to maximum 12
minutes), the clock will automatically
display the correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is faulty or not
possible at the chosen location. Repeat setting at a different location by
pressing the RESET button.
The radio-controlled clock receives the radio signal twice each day at 3:00
and 5:00. During the signal reception, the second hand stops at 12 o’clock
position. It will take 3-12 minutes to receive the radio signal.
Manual time setting
1. Press and hold the M.SET button for 3 - 4 seconds to enter the time
setting.
2. Press the M.SET button for 1 second to advance 1 minute, or
3. Press and hold the M.SET button for more than 2 seconds to speed up
the time setting to the desired time. During the manual time setting, the
second hand moves and stops at the 12 o’clock position.
4. If the M.SET button is not pressed for 30 seconds, the clock is
set. Alternatively the REC button can be pressed to set the clock.
Important:
Once the desired time is set manually, the clock will correct
itself to a Radio Controlled time once a valid signal is received.
Reset function
By pressing the RESET button at any time, the hands will automatically move
to the 12 o’clock position and then receive the signal
Force radio controlled clock operation
1. Press and hold the REC button for 3-4 seconds to force the clock to
receive the DCF signal. The second hand moves and stops at the 12 o’clock
position. Once it has received the DCF signal and processed it accordingly
(which takes 4 to maximum 16 minutes), the clock will automatically display
the correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is faulty and it
will default to the time before the forced reception.

Turn the ALARM SET knob on the back of the clock in the direction of the
arrow until the desired alarm time is shown. Only turn in the direction of the
