Automatic (in Standby only)
• After plugging the mains plug into the socket, the time

-
ing, the device is searching for the radio signal. If a radio
signal has been found, the “ ” symbol lights up. The
correct time appears on the display.

2 hours via transmitter signal.
• During summer time “
” appears in the display.
NOTE:
The signal can be received without problems within a
radius of approx. 2000 km around Frankfurt / Main, but
interference may occur, depending on local conditions.
This may occur especially in buildings containing a high
percentage of metal, as well as in proximity to TV sets, PCs,
mobile phones etc. which are switched on! If the reception
cannot be automatically adjusted after 10 minutes in spite
of the alignment of the integrated antenna, the reception
in the respective location is too weak. In this case, set the
time manually or change location.
