Battery precautions
1. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
2. Use only alkaline AA batteries of the same or equivalent type.
3. Insert batteries with the correct polarity
4. Keep batteries away from children.
5. Dispose of exhausted batteries according to local legal
requirements. Do not dispose of them by throwing away with
normal household rubbish.
6. Avoid short circuiting the contacts in the battery compartment
and battery terminals.
7. Remove batteries from the unit if it will not be used for a long
period of time.
8. Exhausted batteries should be removed from the battery
compartment to prevent over-discharging, which can cause

Radio controlled operation DCF version
(Germany & European countries)
This Braun clock is set and controlled automatically by DCF
radio signal. The DCF radio time code signal is broadcast from
Frankfurt, Germany. The coverage of the DCF signal is the whole
of Germany. The time code signal can be received up to 1500km
from Frankfurt. This covers most of Central and Western Europe.
Radio controlled clock operation
1. We strongly recommend you start your clock at night. Once
the battery is installed properly, the clock automatically sets
itself to 12 o'clock and then begins receiving the signal. Once it
has received the DCF signal and processed it accordingly (which
takes 3 to maximum 12 minutes), the clock will automatically
display the correct time.
2. If the clock still has not set itself after 12 minutes, reception is
faulty or not possible at the chosen location. Repeat setting at a
different location by pressing the RESET button.
A time check is carried out during every odd hour and the time is
compared with the radio signal and will be corrected if necessary.
Each time it will take 3 -12 minutes to receive the radio signal.
Note: If the clock is placed in a poor DCF signal area after having
already received the DCF signal, the clock will automatically set
itself to 12 o'clock at 1:00am, and then attempt to receive the
signal. If the signal cannot be received, the clock will go back to
the original time.
Important
For best reception performance, please read the following in-
structions.
1. Place the unit away from interfering sources such as TV sets,
computers, microwaves, etc.
2. Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal surfaces.
3. Avoid closed areas such as airports, basements, cement office
buildings or factories.
Note: Exposure to an electrostatic environment may cause the
clock to reset. In this event please follow the instructions as
described in this manual to set the clock again.
Manual time setting
1. Press and hold the TIME SET button for 3 - 4 seconds to enter
the time setting.
2. Press the TIME SET button for 1 second to advance 1 minute, or
3. Press and hold the TIME SET button for more than 2 seconds
to speed up the time setting to the desired time. During manual
time setting, the second hand moves and stops at the 12 o'clock
position.
4. If the TIME SET button is not pressed for 8 seconds, the clock is
set.
Important: Once the desired time is set manually, the clock will
correct itself to a Radio Controlled time once a valid signal is
received.
Reset function
The clock has a hands setting help function. By pressing the reset
button at any time, the hands will automatically move to the 12
o'clock position and then receive signal.

2 year guarantee against material and workmanship defects
(except battery). The guarantee is valid in those countries where
