Restart radio reception after changing this setting. Your clock receives the DCF77 time

Reception problems
The DCF77 radio signal is transmitted from a location near Frankfurt am Main and can
be received within a radius of approximately 1500 km around Frankfurt am Main.
However, there are some obstacles and sources of interference, which may substantially
hinder reception. If your weather station does not correctly receive the DCF77 radio
signal, please hang or place the weather station in a different location at your site.
Please note that devices such as computers, telephones, radios and televisions may
cause electromagnetic radiation which can interfere with the DCF77 signal reception.
Other possible detriments to reception are: strong building insulation (metal building
materials), nearby mountains or atmospheric interference. It may also be necessary to
replace the batteries.
