The reception attempt for the daily automatic synchronisation with the DCF time is
done several times a day. One successful reception per day is suffi cient to keep the
deviation to less than one second.
The DCF signal is transmitted via a transmitter in
1500 km
2000 km
Mainfl ingen (near Frankfurt am Main). Its range is up
to 1,500 km and, under ideal reception conditions,
even up to 2,000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal includes the pre-
cise time (theoretical deviation of 1 second in a million
years!) and the date.
Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle of manually
setting summer and winter time.
TO MAKE A DCF RECEPTION ATTEMPT
-
To perform a manual search for the DCF signal (e.g., if you have placed the radio
alarm clock in a different location), press the RCC button (9) for three seconds.
-
This will start a new reception attempt. Then, as described above, wait for a few
minutes until the current time is displayed.
SETTING THE TIME MANUALLY
If no DCF reception is possible, the time setting may also be performed manually.
However, the clock keeps searching for the DCF signal several times a day, and auto-
matically adjusts to the DCF time after a successful reception.
-
Press and hold the CLOCK button (3) until the year (2) fl ashes.
-
Set the year with the buttons
F
(6) and
S
(7).
-
Press the CLOCK button (3) again and set the month with the button
F
(6) and
S
(7).
-
Proceed as described above to set the date, the time format (12/24 h), the hours,
the minutes, the seconds and the language for the calendar day display.
-
The weekday display is set automatically.
-
After completion of the settings press the CLOCK button (3) or wait 30 seconds
to save the settings.

-
Press the ALARM button (4) or wait for 30 seconds to save your settings and
return to the normal display.
-
Press the ALARM button (4) in normal operating mode briefl y to display the

NIGHT LAMP
With this function, the display light is switched on and strongly dimmed in the dark.
Move the night light switch (10) to the desired position:
ON = the night light function is switched on
OFF = the night light function is switched off
This function consumes more power so that the operating time is reduced if
the device is powered by batteries.
RESET FUNCTION
-
If the device no longer functions or shows meaningless symbols or characters
on the display (2), press the RESET button (8) with a sharp-pointed object (e.g. a
bent paper clip).

The device will be reset to factory settings and should work properly again, pro-
vided there is no other error.
LOCATION FOR USE
Select a levelled, fl at and stable location for use. Protect valuable furniture surfaces
by using an appropriate underlay; otherwise, it may cause scratches.
Set up the radio-controlled alarm clock to prevent it from falling.
To ensure correct DCF reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock should not be
placed next to electronic devices, cables, metal parts, etc.
In order for the radio alarm clock to display the correct temperature, do not place it
near heat sources and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
