Note: The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time
pulses emitted by one of the most accurate clocks in the world
close to Frankfurt/Main, Germany – this varies by 1 second
in 30,000 years. Your radio-controlled alarm clock will receive
the time signal under optimum conditions up to a distance of
approx. 1,500km from Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Recep-
tion of the radio signal generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes.
Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g.
concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical
devices). You may have to change the location of the radio-
controlled clock (e.g. near a window) if there are problems

If reception is successful the DCF symbol will be static. If re-
ception is unsuccessful the DCF symbol will disappear until
the next successful reception.
