Setup
1. Battery Installation:
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the clock (refer to Figure 2).
- Insert two 1.5V LR3 (AA) batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close the battery compartment cover.
Upon battery insertion, the clock will automatically attempt to receive the DCF-77 radio signal. This process may take several minutes. Place the clock near a window for better reception. The radio control indicator will flash during reception and become solid once the signal is successfully received and the time is set.
2. Initial Setup (Manual Setting if Radio Signal is Weak):
If the radio signal is not received or you wish to set the time manually:
- Press and hold the SET button for approximately 3 seconds to enter manual setting mode.
- The first setting (e.g., Time Zone) will flash. Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to adjust the value.
- Press SET again to confirm the setting and move to the next parameter (e.g., 12/24 hour format, Hour, Minute, Year, Month, Date, Language for Day of Week, Temperature Unit °C/°F).
- Repeat step 3 until all desired settings are configured.
- Press SET one last time or wait 15 seconds for the clock to exit setting mode automatically.
Operating
Time and Date Display:
The clock automatically displays the current time, date, day of the week, and temperature. The DCF-77 signal ensures absolute precision and automatic daylight saving time adjustments.
Temperature Display:
The current ambient temperature is displayed. You can switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) during the manual setup process or by briefly pressing the ▼ button outside of setting mode.
Alarm Function:
- Press the ALARM button once to display the alarm time.
- Press and hold the ALARM button for 3 seconds to enter alarm setting mode. The alarm hour will flash.
- Use ▲ or ▼ to adjust the alarm hour, then press ALARM to confirm.
- Adjust the alarm minute using ▲ or ▼, then press ALARM to confirm and exit.
- To activate or deactivate the alarm, briefly press the ALARM button when the current time is displayed. An alarm icon will appear/disappear on the display.
When the alarm sounds, it will be a crescendo alarm (increasing in volume). Press the SNOOZE button to activate the 5-minute snooze function. To stop the alarm completely, press any other button.
Moon Phase Display:
The clock automatically calculates and displays the current moon phase based on the set date.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the display or casing.
Battery Replacement:
When the display dims or the clock stops functioning correctly, replace both batteries with new 1.5V LR3 (AA) batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in the "Setup" section.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock not displaying anything. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Time is incorrect or not updating. | Weak or no DCF-77 radio signal reception. | Move the clock to a location with better signal reception (e.g., near a window, away from electronic interference). Manually initiate signal reception by pressing the WAVE button. If still unsuccessful, set the time manually. |
| Alarm not sounding. | Alarm is not activated or alarm time is incorrect. | Ensure the alarm icon is displayed. Check and correct the alarm time setting. |
