The hands will move to the 12 o'clock position and then adjust to the correct time once the signal is received. This process may take several minutes. Ensure the clock is placed in a location free from interference from electronic devices or large metal structures.

Operating

Time Display and Adjustment

The clock features both an analog display with hour, minute, and second hands, and a digital display for precise time information. The time is automatically set via the DCF radio signal. If manual adjustment is needed (e.g., for time zone changes), use the control buttons on the back of the clock.

Date and Day Display

The digital display shows the current date and day of the week. The day of the week can be displayed in 7 selectable languages: German (DE), French (FR), Italian (IT), Spanish (ES), Dutch (NL), Danish (DA), and English (EN).

Temperature Display

The clock includes a temperature indicator, displaying the ambient temperature. You can switch the temperature unit between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) using a dedicated button on the back of the clock.

DCF Radio Signal Control

The DCF radio signal ensures accurate timekeeping. You can manually activate or deactivate the radio communication. In situations where the radio signal is not needed or causes interference, it can be completely switched off via a button on the back.

Time Zone Setting

If the DCF time differs from your local time zone, you can manually adjust the time zone. A button allows you to switch between the local time and another set time zone.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Only clean this product with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Ensure no water enters the product.

Battery Replacement

When the digital display becomes dim or the clock stops functioning, replace both AA batteries with new ones. Always replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.

Troubleshooting

• No DCF signal reception: Ensure the clock is not near sources of interference (e.g., TVs, computers, large metal objects). Try moving the clock to a different location, preferably near a window.
• Incorrect time display: Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. If the DCF signal is weak, manual time adjustment or a different location might be necessary.
• Digital display not working: Replace the batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
