Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the clock.
2. Insert 4x AA Mignon LR06 batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings (+ and -).
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Initial Power-On and Signal Reception

Upon battery installation, the clock will automatically begin searching for the DCF-77 radio signal. This process may take several minutes (typically 5-7 minutes). During this time, the radio signal icon will flash on the display.

• For optimal reception, place the clock near a window and away from electronic devices that might cause interference.
• Once the signal is received, the time and date will be automatically set, and the radio signal icon will appear steadily on the display.

3. Language Setting (if applicable)

The clock may default to a specific language (e.g., German) upon initial setup. Refer to the included quick start guide for instructions on how to manually select your preferred language (e.g., English) if this option is available.

4. Mounting Options

The Technoline WS 8013 can be either placed on a flat surface using its integrated stand or mounted on a wall.

• For Standing: Extend the integrated stand on the back of the clock to place it on a desk, shelf, or table.
• For Wall Mounting: Use a suitable screw (not included) and the hanging slot on the back of the clock to securely mount it on a wall.
