Environmental reception effects
The clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all wireless devices, the reception is
maybe affected by the following circumstances:
long transmitting distance
nearby mountains and valleys
near freeway, railway, airports, high voltage cable etc.
near construction site
among tall buildings
inside concrete buildings
near electrical appliances (computers, TV's, etc) and metallic structures
inside moving vehicles
Place the clock at a location with optimal signal, i.e. close to a window and away from metal surfaces or
electrical appliances.

Automatic signal reception: The automatic signal reception starts by inserting the battery. After 2 to 5
minutes the hands will be adjusted to the correct radio controlled time according to the DCF-77
