Initial Operation

1. Open the clock battery compartment cover.

3. When you insert the batteries, all the symbols on the LCD display light up briefly for 3 seconds and you will hear a beep. At the same time, the device is switched to working mode.

DCF Radio Signal

1. The clock automatically starts searching for the DCF radio signal for 7 minutes after a restart or after a battery change. The symbol for the DCF radio signal reception (?) starts to flash.
2. At 1:00 / 2:00 / 3:00 am, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure with the DCF signal to correct any deviations to the exact time. If this synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (the radio mast icon ? disappears from the display), the system will automatically attempt another synchronization at the next full hour. This process is repeated automatically up to 5 times.
3. To start a manual DCF signal reception, press the ? button once. If no signals are received within 7 minutes, the DCF signal search is stopped (the radio mast symbol ? disappears) and restarted on the next full hour.
4. To end the search for the radio signal, press and hold the ? button for longer than 2 seconds.

Note: The flashing radio mast icon ? indicates that the DCF signal reception has started. A continuously displayed radio mast icon ? indicates that the DCF signal was received successfully.

The 'DST' symbol indicates the reception time for daylight saving time.

We recommend a minimum distance of 2.5 meters to all sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors.

Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g., in cellars) and in offices. In such extreme circumstances, place the system close to the window.

During DCF radio reception mode, only the ? button and the Snooze/Light touch field are active; other button functions are not possible. If you want to use other button functions, please press the ⚙️ button to exit DCF radio reception mode.

Explanation of the Time Zone display: If you are in a country in which the clock still receives the DCF signal, but in which the actual local time is different, then you can use the time zone adjustment to adjust your clock to the local time. If, for example, the local time in the country where you are now is one hour behind German time, then set the Time zone display to -01. This clock is DCF controlled, but is now showing a time one hour behind.
