4.2 Initial Synchronization

After inserting the battery, the clock will automatically search for the DCF77 radio signal to set the correct time. This process may take several minutes, or up to 24 hours depending on your location and signal strength. During synchronization, the hands will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and then adjust to the current time.

• Place the clock near a window or in an open area for better signal reception.
• Avoid placing the clock near electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, computers, microwaves).

4.3 Mounting

The clock is designed for easy wall mounting. Use a suitable screw or hook (not included) in your desired location. The clock features a hanging slot on the back for secure placement.

5. Operating

Once synchronized, the Mebus Model 19813 Radio-Controlled Wall Clock operates automatically. It will continuously receive the DCF77 radio signal to maintain accurate time, including automatic adjustments for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes.

• No manual time setting is typically required.
• The silent quartz movement ensures no audible ticking sound.
