4.2 Initial Time Synchronization
After inserting the battery, the clock hands will automatically move to the 12 o'clock position. They will remain there until the clock receives the radio signal (DCF). This synchronization process can take some time.
- Place the clock near a window for optimal signal reception.
- Avoid placing the clock near sources of interference such as electronic radiation, televisions, or computer monitors.
- If the clock does not set itself within an average of 5 minutes, allow it time overnight. The DCF signal is often strongest at night.
- Do not press any factory buttons during the adjustment process. Patience is key.
5. Operating Your Clock
5.1 Automatic Time Adjustment
Your Eurotime clock is radio-controlled and automatically adjusts to the precise time via the DCF signal. This includes automatic adjustment for daylight saving time (summer/winter time changes).
5.2 Manual Time Setting (Not Recommended)
Manual time setting is generally not required for this radio-controlled clock. If the clock is not receiving a signal, it will attempt to resynchronize. Forcing manual adjustments may interfere with the radio signal reception.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the plastic casing or glass cover.
6.2 Battery Replacement
If the second hand stops or the clock constantly readjusts itself, it is time to change the battery. Always use a new, full alkaline 1.5V AA battery for optimal performance.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock does not set time or stops. | Incorrect or weak battery. | Replace with a new, full alkaline 1.5V AA battery. Ensure correct polarity. |
| Clock does not receive radio signal. | Poor signal reception due to location or interference. | Move the clock closer to a window. Avoid electronic devices (TVs, monitors). Try leaving it overnight for better signal reception. |
| Hands are stuck at 12 o'clock. | Waiting for initial radio signal synchronization. | This is normal. Allow time for the clock to receive the DCF signal. Do not press any buttons. |
| Clock constantly readjusts. | Weak battery or intermittent signal. | Replace battery. Check for signal interference. |
Note: 90% of functional errors can be corrected by using the correct battery. Ensure you use a new, full alkaline battery. Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this model.
