Signal reception mode
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Cesium Atomic Clock operated
by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which 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. The radio
controlled alarm clock receives this signal and converts it to show the precise
time in summer or wintertime.
Note: The DCF-77 reception is only available in Europe.
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.
