M 2 – projecting by switching the display of the current time and the current outdoor temperature for
every 5 seconds.
3.
Adjust the intensity of the projector light with the key (The intensity of the projector light cannot be
adjusted when operated in battery mode).
4.
Adjust the projection image in an upright position with the
key.
DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische
Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one second in every one million years.
The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and
has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The Projection Clock receives this signal and converts it to
show the precise time and so when within this range the received time is completely accurate.
CHECKING FOR DCF-77 RECEPTION
The Projection Clock will automatically start scanning for the DCF-77 frequency signal after the battery is
inserted. In normal surroundings (for example away from interfering sources such as TV sets), it takes between
3 - 5 minutes to receive the signal. If after 10 minutes of inserting the batteries into the alarm clock and the
DCF-77 signal is not received, then check the following list before manually setting the time (see
“Manual Time
Setting”
):
1.
The distance of the Projection Clock should be at least 1.5 - 2.0 meters away from interfering sources
such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid placing the Projection Clock onto or in the immediate proximity of the materials made of metal such
as doors, window frames or other structures.
3.
Within thick concrete rooms such as basements and tower blocks, the DCF-77 signal is naturally weaker.
In extreme cases, place the Projection Clock closer to a window and/or point its front or rear towards the
general direction of the Frankfurt/Main transmitter (avoid positioning within close proximity of metal
frames or structures).
Note:
Users may be located in areas where atmospheric disturbances are the direct cause for not receiving the DCF-
77 frequency signal. During nighttime, atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is
possible in most cases. With a single daily reception, it is adequate for the alarm clock to keep time deviation to
below 0.5 seconds in a period of 24 hours.
When the Projection Clock is trying to receive the DCF signal, the reception icon will flash on the LCD. Once the
signal is “locked”, the DCF-77 tower icon will stay fixed on LCD and the received time will automatically correct
the manually set time. As well as the time, the date will also be received by the Projection Clock and will be
displayed accordingly in the calendar section of the LCD.
