Important safety information for the batteries
WARNING!
HEALTH HAZARD!
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Keep batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, you must seek
medical attention immediately. Batteries/rechargeable batteries must always be inserted
in the correct polarity. If necessary, clean the battery and device contacts. Never attempt
to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Never short-circuit or attempt to open batteries.
Never throw batteries into fire as they may explode.
If the device will not be used for an extended time period, remove the battery and store
the device in a dry and dust-free area. Improper use of the battery can lead to explosion
or leakage.
If the battery leaks, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Use gloves. If
you are exposed to battery acid, rinse the affected areas with plenty of clean water and
immediately seek medical attention. Remove discharged batteries from the device as they
present an increased risk of leakage.
Set up the device safely
Hang the wall clock on a flat wall using a nail or screw. The wall clock is not designed
for operation in rooms with high humidity (i.e. bathroom). Make sure that:
•
no direct heat sources (i.e. radiators) influence the device;
•
no direct sunlight reaches the device;
•
contact with splashing or dripping water must be avoided
•
the device doesn’t stand near magnetic fields (i.e. speakers);

Setup
Insert a 1,5 V AA R6/LR6 battery in the correct polarity into the battery compartment on
the back of the wall clock. The hands will move to the 12:00:00, 4:00:00 or 8:00:00
o'clock position and stop. The clock will now begin to receive the DCF77 radio signal.
The reception process can take 3-10 minutes. After successful reception of the radio
signal, the hands will automatically move to the correct time.
Note: Please use a pointed tool to push the buttons
(SET, REC, RESET).
If the reception process fails, it will be repeated hourly.
The reception process can be restarted manually by
pressing and holding REC on the back side of the clock
for 5 seconds. The hands will move to the 12:00:00,
4:00:00 or 8:00:00 o'clock position and stop. The
clock will now begin to receive the DCF77 radio signal.
Manual time setting
This feature cannot be used while the clock is attempting to receive the radio signal
(Hands at 12:00:00, 4:00:00 or 8:00:00). Press and hold the SET button on the
backside of the clock for 5 seconds. The clock will enter manual mode. Press and hold
SET to move the hands to the correct position.
If the SET button is pressed briefly, the hands will move forward by exactly one minute.
After 7 seconds without pressing SET, the clock will exit manual mode and the hands will
move in the normal fashion.
Reset
In case of a malfunction, the clock can be reset and holding
RESET
on the back side of
the clock for 5 seconds (with a small screwdriver).
The hands will move to the 12:00:00, 4:00:00 or 8:00:00 o'clock position and stop. The
clock will now begin to receive the DCF77 radio signal.
Reception interference
The DCF77 radio signal is transmitted from the vicinity of Frankfurt am Main and can be
received within a radius of about 1500 km. However, there are some sources of
interference that may greatly hinder reception.
If your wall clock does not correctly receive the radio signal, hang the wall clock in a
different location. Please note, that the electromagnetic waves that may occur near
computers, telephones, radios and TVs can interfere with DCF77 radio reception. Strong
