Note – Time settings
•
If, during initial setup of the device, a DCF radio signal is not received within the first
few minutes, the search is aborted. The radio symbol disappears.
•
If there are reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight, since
interference is generally less at night.
•
In the meantime, you can start a manual search for the DCF radio signal at another
location or you can manually set the time and date.
•
The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF radio signal on a daily basis
(2:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.). If the signal is received successfully,
the manually set time and date are overwritten.
•
Press the
RCC
button (17) to start the manual search for the DCF radio signal.
Note – Manual search
•
The manual search is automatically aborted after 6-16 minutes.
•
Using the
RCC
button (10) frequently will drain the battery. We recommend only using
this function to seek out an optimal location for the device.
Note – Summer time
•
The clock automatically switches to summer time.
DST
appears on the display as long
as summer time is activated.
Manually setting
•
Press and hold the
DISPLAY SET
button (14) for approx. 3 seconds
to make the following settings one after the other:
•
12/24-hour format (5)
•

•
Seconds (only zeros possible) (5)

To select the individual values, press the

confirm each selection by pressing the

If you do not make an entry for 60 seconds, you automatically exit the setup mode.
Note – Time zone
•
The DCF signal can be received over long distances, but always transmits the current
Central European Time in Germany. Make sure you account for the time difference in
countries with another time zone.
•
If you are in Moscow, the time is 3 hours later than in Germany. This means that you
should set +3 for the time zone. The clock then automatically sets the time to 3 hours
after the DCF signal received or relative to the manually set time.

ALARM SET
button (10) for approx. 3 seconds to set the time of the

and confirm your selection by pressing the
