Risk of explosion! Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking. Make sure the polarities are correct. Remove the battery if you do not use the device for a long period of time. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes when handling leaking batteries. In case of contact, immediately rinse the affected areas with water and consult a doctor.

• The device is ready for use.

5.1 Radio-controlled time reception

• The clock hands now travel to 12 o'clock automatically and the radio-controlled clock tries to receive the radio signal for 3 - 12 minutes. When the time code has been received after a few minutes, the clock hands automatically adjust to the current time.
• DCF radio reception takes place automatically 8 times a day.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press and hold the REC button for three seconds. The clock hands will then move to 12 o'clock and the clock tries to receive the radio signal again.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manually.

5.2 Manual time setting

• Press and hold the M.SET button for three seconds.
• Press and hold the M.SET button until the desired time is indicated.
• Press the M.SET button briefly. The clock hands move forward minute by minute.
• Wait 8 seconds, the unit will save the setting automatically.
• The manually set time is overwritten once the DCF time signal is successfully received.

5.3 Note on radio-controlled time

• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjustment of Daylight-Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception. It is recommended to keep a distance of at least 2 metres to possibly interfering sources (TV, computer, microwave, wireless phones, baby monitors) and large metal objects (e.g. refrigerator). Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

6. Mounting the Clock

• Securely attach the device with a solid nail or a screw and dowel at the respective location using the wall mounting hole. Before the final installation, make sure that the reception of the DCF time signal is possible.

7. Troubleshooting

If your device fails to work despite these measures, contact the retailer where you purchased the product.
