Setup

1. Powering the Device

1. Insert 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. These serve as backup power.
2. Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 5V input on the side of the clock and plug it into a power outlet. The display will light up.

2. Initial Radio-Controlled Time Synchronization

Upon initial power-up, the clock will automatically attempt to synchronize with the DCF radio signal. This process can take several minutes. During synchronization, a radio tower icon will flash on the display. Once successful, the icon will become solid, and the correct time will be displayed.

• Place the clock near a window for better reception.
• If synchronization fails, the clock will operate as a standard quartz clock. You can manually set the time (see 'Setting Time and Date').
• To manually initiate a radio signal search, press and hold the WAVE button.
