6. Getting started
• Open the battery compartment and insert a new bat-
tery (1,5 V AA), ensure battery polarity is correct.
• A brief beep tone will sound.
• The unit is ready for use.
• The pointers move to 12 o'clock and the clock is trying
to receive the radio signal for 3 - 12 minutes.
• When the time code is received, the radio-controlled
time will be shown.
• Twelve times a day the clock receives the radio signal.
• Manual initialization can be helpful. Press and hold REC
button for 3 seconds. The pointers move to 12 o'clock
and the clock will scan the DCF frequency signal again.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example
due to disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the
time can be set manually. The clock will then work as a
normal quartz clock. (see: Manual setting of the clock).
6.1 Radio-controlled time reception
he time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium
atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bun-
desanstalt Braunschweig. It has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded
and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via fre-
quency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting

range of approximately 1,500 km. Changeover from sum-
mer time or winter time is automatic. The quality of the
reception depends mainly on the geographic location.
Normally there should be no reception problems within a
1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like
computer monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstruc-
tures), the received signal is naturally weakened. In
extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window
to improve the reception.
• During nighttime, the atmospheric interference is usu-
ally less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A
single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy
deviation below 1 second.
