In order to interrupt the automatic settings, press »ON/OFF«.

1Once you have connected your device to the mains, the run-through of the frequency appears on the display.

–Your device automatically searches the frequency band for radio stations.

–The radio stations are saved automatically.

–After the completion of the station search, the device switches to stand-by mode, the time is set to »0:00« and the DCF symbol »g« flashes. In the process, the radio programme is muted.

Radio-controlled clock

With your built-in radio-controlled clock, you are in possession of an absolutely precise alarm and meeting clock which is automatically set to the radio-transmitted time signals of the most precise clock in the world: the atomic clock of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig (PTB). This clock is so precise that in 1 million years a deviation of 1 second can be expected.

Your radio-controlled alarm clock receives “time telegrams” via long wave

77.5kHz from the time signal transmitter DCF 77, located in Mainflingen (24 km south-east of Frankfurt/Main). This time signal transmitter has a range of 1500 km.

The device receives signals from the DCF 77 transmitter free of charge via the connected DCF 77 antenna wherever long wave reception is sufficient with, for example, a good portable radio. Your radio-controlled clock often receives the time telegrams at a considerably larger distance from the trans- mitter; in such cases the quality of the local reception plays a key role.

The clock’s built-in micro-processor processes the received time telegrams and controls the quartz clock fully automatically. After the clock is first acti- vated, the DCF synchronisation is performed immediately and subsequently every hour on the hour. Depending on the point of reception, synchronisa- tion can take several minutes. During this process the »g«display flash- es.. After a maximum of 5 minutes, the display starts glowing. The synchro- nisation continues running in the background. In addition to the advantages of precision timekeeping and to-the-second wake-up and alarm signals, your radio-controlled clock sets itself automatically to winter and daylight savings’ time.

If the DCF reception is insufficient, the DCF symbol »g« appears without waves: »k«.
