Environmental reception effects
The clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the
reception is maybe affected by the following circumstances:
long transmitting distance
nearby mountains and valleys
near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
near construction site
among tall buildings
inside concrete buildings
near electrical appliances (computers, TV’s, etc) and metallic structures
inside moving vehicles
Place the clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces
or electrical appliances.
Reception of the radio signal:
The clock automatically starts the
DCF
signal search after 7 minutes of any restart or changing
of new fresh batteries. The radio mast icon starts to flash.
At 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 am, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure with
the
DCF
signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is
unsuccessful (the radio mast icon disappears from the display), the system will automatically
attempt another synchronization at the next full one hour. This procedure is repeated
automatically up to total 5 times.
To manually start
DCF
signal reception, press the “
WAVE
” button once. If no signals received
within 7 minutes, then the
DCF
signal search stops (the radio mast icon disappears) and start
again at the next full one hour.
To
stop searching radio signal, press the “
WAVE
” button once.
Notes:
A flashing radio mast icon indicates that the
DCF
signal reception has started
A continuously displayed radio mast icon indicates that the
DCF
signal was received
successfully
We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters to all sources of interference, such as
televisions or computer monitors
Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In such
extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window.
During the
DCF
radio receive mode, only the
“
WAVE
” button function, other button
operation have no function,
If you want to carry out other functions of operation, please press
“
WAVE
” button to exit the
DCF
radio receive mode.

WAVE
” button until the beep tone sounds and “RCC OFF” is shortly displayed on the
LCD. The clock is now no longer using radio-controlled function.
Hold the “
WAVE
” button again until the beep tone sounds and “RCC ON” is shortly displayed
on the LCD. The clock is using radio-controlled function again.
12-hour or 24-hour time display setting:

DOWN
” button to change the time displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour display.
