• The device and the power adapter must not come into contact with water or moisture. Only suitable for indoor use.

• Do not use the device if the housing or the power adapter are damaged.

• Keep the device out of reach of persons (including children) who cannot fully appreciate the potential risks of handling electrical equipment.

• Unplug the device immediately if any fault occurs or if the device is not to be used for a long period of time.

• Only use the supplied power adapter.

• Route the mains cable so it does not come into contact with sharp-edged or hot objects.

Caution!

 Risk of injury!

• Keep this instrument and the batteries out of reach of children.

• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, this can lead to serious internal burns and death

within two hours. If you suspect a battery could have been swallowed or otherwise caught in the body, seek medical help immediately.

• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!

• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking. Never use a combination of old and new batteries

together, nor batteries of different types.

• Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and safety glasses when handling leaking batteries.

• Open the battery compartment of the base station and insert two new AA 1.5V batteries, polarity as illustrated.

• The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment.

• Close the battery compartment again.

• Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.

• Important! Make sure that your household voltage is no more than 240V! Otherwise your device may be damaged.

• The device is ready for use.

• Open the battery compartment of the transmitter and insert two new AAA 1,5 V batteries. Make sure the polarity is correct. The red LED flashes.

Close the battery compartment again.

4.1 Outdoor values reception

• The base station will scan the outdoor values of the transmitter. The reception symbol flashes. If the reception is successful, the outdoor tempe-

rature appears on the base

• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, “- -” appears on the base station display. Check the batteries and try it again. Check if there is any

source of interference.

• You can also start the outdoor transmitter search manually later on (for example when the outdoor transmitter is lost or the batteries are changed).

• Press and hold the DOWN button for 2 seconds. The reception symbol flashes.

4.2 Radio-controlled time reception

• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, 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 single daily reception is ade-

quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

5. Operation

5.1 Manual settings

• Important: The device cannot be operated during the DCF time-signal reception.

• Press and hold the UP or DOWN button in setting mode for fast mode.

• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.

5.2 Setting of the time and date

• Press and hold the T.SET button in normal mode for three seconds.

• The year indication will be flashing and you can adjust the year with the UP or DOWN button.

• Press the T.SET button again to make the settings in the following sequence: The month, the day, the month/day sequence D/M or M/D (D/M -

default), the language for the weekday (GE - default), the time zone (00 - default), the 24 or 12 hours display (default: 24 HR), the hours and the

minutes. Press the UP or DOWN button to adjust it.

• When the time code is successfully received after 2-12 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the

display.

• The time is updated every day at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning. If the reception fails, it will repeat again 5 times every hour.

• Activate the reception manually by holding the UP button for 2 seconds.

• To end the DCF reception, press and hold the UP button for 2 seconds again.

• Note: During the DCF time reception period, the display colour is blue.

• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually. The DCF reception sym-

bol disappears and 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 atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt 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 Frank-

furt 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 (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on

the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius

around Frankfurt.

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.
