Renkforce RC156X is an analog radio-controlled alarm clock with a built-in DCF receiver for automatic time setting and a snooze function. It features a clock face without a second hand to avoid ticking noises, and a backlight for easy viewing in low-light conditions. The alarm function includes a snooze option that allows you to briefly pause the alarm for a few minutes before it sounds again.

Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries

• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must be kept out of the reach of chil-

dren.

• Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk

that they could be swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed,

consult a doctor immediately.

• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause acid

burns when coming into contact with skin, therefore use suitable protec-

tive gloves.

• Normal/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or

thrown into a ﬁre. There is a risk of explosion!

• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries, due to risk of explo-

sion! Only charge rechargeable batteries that are intended for this pur-

pose; use a suitable battery charger.

• Check that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery/rechargeable

battery (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).

Controls and Parts

(1) Battery compartment

(2) Adjustment knob for alarm time

(3) Alarm switch

(4) SNOOZE/LIGHT button

Inserting/Replacing the Battery/Rechargeable Battery

• Open the battery compartment (1) on the rear of the housing and insert a battery of

type AAA/Micro with the correct polarity.

• The correct polarity is indicated in the battery compartment (1).

• After inserting the battery, the clock hands move to the reception position (12.00

noon), and the radio-controlled alarm clock starts to search for the DCF signal (see

chapter “DCF reception”).

• Close the battery compartment (1) again.

• The battery needs changing when the clock stops.

Rechargeable batteries can be used. However, the lower operating voltage

(rechargeable battery = 1.2 V, battery 1.5 V) and lower capacity will reduce

the operating time.

DCF Reception

Immediately after the battery is inserted, the device makes a ﬁrst attempt to receive

the DCF signal. The hands of the clock run to the reception position and automatically

set themselves to the current time after successfully receiving the DCF signal.

The detection and interpretation of the DCF signal can take about ﬁve min-

utes. Do not move the radio-controlled alarm clock during this time. Do not

press any buttons or switches!

Bad reception can occur, for example, by metallised insulated glass, rein-

forced concrete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electron-

ic devices, or installation in cellars.

If after 10 minutes the hands have not moved to the current time, change the

location of the radio alarm clock and remove the battery. After approx. one

minute, insert the battery again. This will start a new reception attempt.

The reception attempt for the daily automatic synchronisation with the DCF time is

done several times a day. One successful reception per day is sufﬁcient to keep the

deviation to less than one second.

All rights including translation reserved. Reproduction by any method, e.g. photocopy, microﬁlming, or the capture in electronic data

processing systems require the prior written approval by the editor. Reprinting, also in part, is prohibited.

These operating instructions represent the technical status at the time of printing. Changes in technology and equipment reserved.

The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted via a DCF

transmitter in Mainﬂingen (near Frankfurt am Main).

Its range is up to 1,500 km and, under ideal reception

conditions, and even up to 2,000 km.

Among other things, the DCF signal includes the pre-

cise time (theoretical deviation of one second in a mil-

lion years!) and the date.

Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle of manually

setting summer and winter times.

To Make a DCF Reception Attempt

• To perform a manual search for the DCF signal (e.g., if you have set up the radio-

controlled alarm clock in a different location), remove the battery.

• After approx. one minute, insert the battery again.

• This will start a new reception attempt. Then, as described above, wait about ﬁve

minutes until the correct time is displayed.

Alarm function

a) Setting the alarm

• The alarm time is indicated on the clock face with a red clock hand.

• Turn the alarm time adjustment knob (2) on the case’s rear in the direction of the

arrow, until the desired alarm time is shown on the clock face.

Turn the adjustment knob only in the direction of the arrow; otherwise, the

alarm time will not be set precisely or the movement might be damaged.

b) Activating/deactivating the alarm function

Move the alarm switch (3) to the desired position:

ON Alarm function activated

OFF Alarm function deactivated

c) Stopping the alarm signal & snooze function

• At the preset alarm time an alarm signal is emitted and the clock face is illuminated

for several seconds. The alarm signal can be interrupted for approx. 5 minutes by

pressing the SNOOZE/LIGHT button (4) on the top of the case. After this, the signal

will restart (snooze function).

• This procedure can be repeated up to 11 times.

• To deactivate the alarm function, move the alarm switch (3) to the OFF position.

• If the alarm signal is not switched off manually, it will be turned off automatically

after approx. two minutes and it restarts after 12 hours.

Illumination

Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button (4) on the top of the case to turn on the clock face

light for a few seconds.

Location for Use

Select a level, ﬂat and stable location for use.

Protect valuable furniture surfaces by using an appropriate underlay; otherwise, it

may cause scratches.

Set up the radio-controlled alarm clock to prevent it from falling.

To ensure correct DCF reception, the radio-controlled alarm clock should not be

placed next to electronic devices, cables, metal parts, etc.

Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for

any reason.

Please use a soft, dry, clean cloth for cleaning.

Do not use any chemical cleaning agents, as they can discolour the plastic casing.

Disposal

a) Product

Electronic devices are recyclable waste materials and must not be disposed

of in the household waste!

tory regulations.

Remove the battery if there is one inserted and dispose of it separately from

the product.

b) Normal and Rechargeable Batteries

As the end user, you are required by law (Battery Regulation) to return used batteries

and rechargeable batteries. Do not dispose of used batteries in the household waste!
