5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the clock.
2. Insert one (1) AA Mignon/LR06 battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

5.2 Initial Setup and Radio Control Synchronization

After inserting the battery, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the DCF-77 radio signal. This process may take several minutes to a few hours, depending on your location and signal strength. During synchronization, the second hand may stop or move erratically until the signal is successfully received.

• Place the clock near a window for better signal reception.
• Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, computers, mobile phones).
• Once synchronized, the clock will display the correct time and automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time (DST).
• A radio-controlled icon on the display (if present) will indicate successful signal reception.
