Setting DCF 77 time
After inserting the batteries, the alarm clock will automatically start search for the DCF radio signal for
8 minutes.The icon will ash during the search for signal. After successful reception of the DCF signal,
the clock will show the current time and date with the icon . The alarm clock receives DCF signal
automatically every hour between 01:00 and 05:00. DCF signal reception can be called up at any time by
pressing the WAVE button. If no DCF signal is detected, it is possible to set the time and date manually.
Radio controlled clock – DCF 77
The radio controlled clock provides the most accurate time on the European continent.The radio signal
propagates via radio waves (77.5 kHz) from a site near Frankfurt in Germany within a range of 1 500 km.
This radio time signal automatically takes into account summer (DST) and winter time, leap years and
date changes. In normal conditions (at a safe distance from sources of interference, such as television
sets or computer monitors) the capture of time signal takes several minutes. If the clock does not detect
the signal, follow these steps:
1. Move the alarm clock to another location and try to detect the DCF signal again.
2. Make sure the distance of the alarm clock from sources of interference, such as computer monitors
or television sets, is at least 1.5 to 2 meters during reception of this signal. When receiving DCF
signal, do not put the alarm clock in the proximity of metal doors, window frames and other metal
structures or objects (washing machines, dryers, refrigerators etc.).
3. In reinforced concrete structures (cellars, high-rise buildings etc.), the DCF signal reception is weaker,
