6.3.1 Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch
Technische Bundesanstalt 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 frequency signal DCF-77
(77.5 kHz)and has a transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km.Your radio-controlled clock receives
this signal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer time or winter time is
automatic. In Daylight Saving Time "DST" is shown on the LCD. 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:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets at least
1.5-2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements,superstructures),the received signal is naturally weakened.
In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases.A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
