1
Area of application
This radio controlled wall clock is designed exclusively for use as a clock. It
is intended for private use and is not suitable for commercial purposes. Any
use other than that described in these operating instructions is not permitted
and can result in damage and injury. No liability will be accepted for claims
arising from improper use. Additional information and explanations can be
found in these operating instructions.
2
Safety and maintenance
2.1
Safety instructions
Please pay particular attention to this section and follow all of the
instructions provided. Doing so will ensure reliable operation. Keep the
packaging and operating instructions in a safe place so that they can be
transferred to the new owner if you decide to sell your radio controlled wall
clock. Never open the housing of the wall clock as there are no serviceable
parts inside (the exception to this is opening the battery compartment to
change the batteries, see section 6 "Changing the batteries"). Do not place
any items on top of the clock and do not exert any pressure on the display.
To prevent damage do not touch the display with any sharp objects.
2.2
Operating environment conditions
Make sure your clock is not exposed to continuous moisture and avoid dust,
heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (particularly in a car). The
clock is protected against impact which can occur during normal, everyday
use. It is imperative that very strong magnetic fields (caused by e.g. electric
welding machines, transformers, etc.) are avoided as they may result in
deviations in time measurement. Electromagnetic or atmospheric
interference can also interfere with the radio signal.
2.3
Ambient temperature
Your clock can be operated continuously within an ambient temperature
range of 0° C to 50° C. It should only be exposed to temperatures ranging
from -10° C to 0° C for brief periods. If the batteries have been removed
(see section 6 "Changing the batteries"), you can store the clock at
temperatures ranging between -10° C and 50° C. The clock should be stored
safely. Avoid high temperatures and permanently damp environments.
2.4
Battery operation
Your radio controlled wall clock is operated by 2 x LR6/R6 / AA 1.5V
batteries.
The following section provides you with information about using batteries:
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat from direct sunlight, fire or
other such source as this increases the risk of leakage! Never recharge the
batteries. Do not disassemble or short-circuit the batteries - risk of
explosion! Keep batteries and the clock out of the reach of children.
Batteries can be swallowed by children. If this occurs, seek medical advice
immediately. Prevent leaking batteries from coming into contact with your
skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact with battery fluid
rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water and seek medical
advice. Always replace all of the batteries at the same time. Ignoring this
information may result in damage and possibly even to the batteries
exploding. You can find information on replacing the batteries under section
6 "Changing the batteries".
2.5
Disposal
Batteries:
Batteries are hazardous waste. Batteries can be
disposed of correctly by shops selling batteries and at local
authority waste departments where there are appropriate
containers.
Radio controlled wall clock:
If you wish to dispose of your radio
controlled wall clock, please adhere to the current regulations. Your local
authority waste department can provide you with the relevant information.
07/2011
KRIPPL-WATCHES Warenhandels GmbH
Maria-Theresia-Straße 41, 4600 Wels, Austria
Packaging:
Dispose of the clock's packaging according to the current
regulations. Your local authority waste department can provide you with the
relevant information.
2.6
Cleaning and care
Only clean the clock using a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use any
solvents or abrasive or gaseous cleaning agents. Make sure drops of water
are not left to accumulate on the display. Water can cause long-term
discolouration. Do not expose the display to glaring sunlight or ultra-violet
radiation.
Note!
There are no components inside the clock's housing which require
maintenance or cleaning.
2.7
Storage
Remove the batteries if you do not intend using the radio controlled wall
clock for a prolonged period. When storing the clock please observe the
information included under section 2.2 "Operating environment conditions"
and section 2.3 "Ambient temperature".
2.8

Commissioning
We recommend that you read the operating instructions thoroughly before
starting to use your radio controlled wall clock. Please pay particular
attention to section 4.1 "Function buttons" in order to become acquainted
with the clock.
1.
The batteries have already been inserted into the battery compartment,
however the contacts are interrupted by a battery isolation strip. This
protrudes visibly between the battery compartment and the cover. You
can remove this strip without opening the battery compartment.
2.
When you have removed the strip the LCD display will
illuminate, a brief audible tone will sound and the clock's
search procedure will start automatically, which is indicated
by flashing radio waves above the radio tower symbol.
Note!
No other settings can be implemented during this period.
This process can take approx. 2 to 5 minutes. When the radio signal is
received the date, time and moon phase displays are set automatically. The
radio waves above the radio tower symbol are illuminated continuously.
As is the case with wireless signals for mobile telephones or radio/TV
reception, it is possible that your radio controlled wall clock will not always
receive a signal at every location. Here are some tips to ensure your clock
operates properly. The following factors can cause malfunctions:
•
•
Concrete buildings, metal components and electronic equipment.
•
•
Electronic devices such as TVs, computers, various household
appliances, transformers, power lines, radio transmitters or electrified
railway lines.
•
•
Atmospheric effects can also interfere with radio waves.
•
•
The distance of the radio signal and the geographic environment
(mountains, etc.). So-called "dead spots", which make reception
impossible, can occur anywhere.
•
•
Reception is better in rural areas in comparison to large cities. There
are fewer sources of interference at night compared to during the day.
Therefore reception is better at night.
•
•
Weak batteries in the clock will impair the quality of reception.
3.
The radio signal is generally synchronised with the radio controlled
time within 2 to 5 minutes, after which the radio tower symbol appears
constantly in the display. If this does not occur, press and hold the
"+/ " button for approx. 3 seconds. The radio waves above the radio
tower symbol start to flash and another attempt is made to locate a
radio signal.
4.
If it is not possible to receive a signal at your current location, you can
also set the time manually (see section 4.2.2 "Manual setting").
