The device is automatically synchronized to the DCF time every day.
This is sufficient to keep the time deviation to within one second per
day.
The DCF signal is sent by a transmitter in Mainflingen (near Frankfurt,
Germany). The signal range is up to 1500 km and can even reach 2000
km in ideal reception conditions. The DCF signal contains the exact
time (time deviation is theoretically within one second every one million
years!), the date and other information. This means that you do not
need to carry out the cumbersome task of adjusting the clock manually
for summer and winter time.
