Clock Time, Displaying the clock | Blaupunkt RDM 169 instruction

Clock - Time

This car audio system is equipped with a built-in clock which automatically takes ad- vantage of RDS to ensure highly accurate time-keeping (hours, minutes).

For the clock to function properly with RDS, an RDS station with the CT function (CT - clock time) must be received.

If this signal is not available, the audio sys- tem will attempt to receive the DCF-77 time signal (atomic clock) to correct the time the next time it is switched off. The display will indicate “CLK Sync” while it is synchronis- ing the time.

The automatic time correction feature can be switched off.

Displaying the clock

Clock display when the audio system is switched off

You can have the clock displayed when the ignition is switched on, but the audio sys- tem is switched off. Make the correspond- ing setting in the DSC menu.

If necessary, refer to the section on “DSC programming - CLK, VIEW”.

Setting the clock

a)automatically

The clock is set automatically when the radio is tuned into an RDS station which has the “CT” function (clock time).

b)manually with DSC-CLK

Selecting a 12 or 24-hour mode

You can choose whether the time is dis- played in a 12 or 24-hour mode.

If necessary, refer to the section on “DSC programming - CLK, MODE”.

Synchronisation

To improve the accuracy of the internal clock, it can be synchronised on a regular basis. This is only possible when the time is received via an RDS-CT signal and the au- tomatic synchronisation feature is switched on (default setting).

If the RDS-CT signal is not available, the audio system will attempt to receive the DCF-77 time signal (atomic clock) to cor- rect the time the next time it is switched off.

You can set the clock to permanent display in any of the operating modes (radio, CD, changer).

To do so

•Use TU, CD or CDC to select the oper- ating mode.

•Press DIS repeatedly until the time ap- pears in the top line of the display.

The clock will now appear in the display as the main element.
