5. Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the

DCF symbol flashes on the display. When the time code is

successfully received after 3-8 minutes, the radio-con-

trolled time, the date, the day of the week and the DCF

symbol will be shown steadily on the display.

• You can also start the initialization manually.

• Press and hold the – button for two seconds.

• The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.

• Interrupt the reception by pressing the – button again for

two seconds. The DCF reception symbol disappears.

• The DCF reception always takes place daily at 2:00 o'clock

in the morning. If the reception is not successfully re-

ceived, the next DCF reception attempt will happen at 3:00

o'clock in the morning.

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to inter-

ference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set

manually. The clock will then work as a normal quartz

clock (see: Manual settings).

Note on radio-controlled time

The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium ato-

mic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundes-

anstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a

time deviation of less than one second in one million years.

The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near

Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a

transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio

clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the

exact time. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (sum-

mer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is

shown on the display.

Therefore, please note the following steps:

• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like

computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.

• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as base-

ments, the received signal is naturally weakened. In

extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to

improve reception.



• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually

less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A sin-

gle daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy devia-

tion under 1 second.

6. Operation

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no

button is pressed for 15 seconds.

• Press and hold the + or – button in setting mode for fast

mode.

6.1 Manual settings

• Press and hold the TIME SET button in normal mode for

three seconds to enter the setting mode.

• RCC appears on the display and auto will be flashing.

• By default, the DCF reception is activated (RCC auto) and

after successful reception of the DCF signal no manual

adjustment is necessary.
