DCF reception
Immediately after the batteries are inserted, the device makes the first attempt to receive the DCF signal.
•
The reception icon flashes during the search.
• The reception icon remains lit when reception is successful. The display shows the current time and the
current date.
• The reception icon goes out if the search for the DCF signal fails.
It may take a few minutes for the clock to receive a DCF signal. Do not move the clock during
this time. Do not use any buttons.
Poor DCF signal reception should be expected when the clock is near to metal-coated insulated
glass windows, reinforced concrete, coated wallpapers or electronic devices, or when the clock
is placed in a cellar.
If after 5 minutes the current time is still not shown, relocate the product and press and hold the
– °C/°F button for 3 seconds. The clock attempts to receive a time signal again.
The product synchronizes with the DCF time once a day at
3 am. This is sufficient to keep the time accurate to within one
second per day.
The DCF radio time signal, sent from a transmitter in Mainflingen
(near Frankfurt am Main, Germany). It has a range of up to
1500 km, increasing to 2000 km in ideal reception conditions.
The DCF signal contains information such as the exact time
and date (with a theoretical time deviation of one second every
million years).
There is no need to set the summer and winter time manually.
Manually performing the DCF signal reception attempt
You can manually begin or stop the search for the DCF signal at any time by pressing and holding the
– °C/°F button for 3 seconds.
No other buttons function during the search for the DCF signal.
During summer time, the DST indicator appears on the display.
Each reception attempt takes a maximum of approx. 5 minutes.
