LCD display:
Switch to the corresponding display in the LCD by pressing briefly on corrector T1 using a sharp object.
The display switches from second >> date >> reception display [0]. The number in the reception display indicates how many
days the radio-controlled watch was unable to receive a DCF signal. A “0” in the display means very good radio reception.
The radio reception display switches automatically to the date display after 5s. Once selected, the second and date display
will appear permanently in the LCD until you manually alter the display.
Please change the battery when the corresponding display flashes in the LCD.
Setting the time zone:
If you are located outside of Germany in a different time zone, you can set this manually on your radio-controlled watch by
using a sharp object to press corrector T2. After briefly pressing corrector T2, the LCD displays the current hour. Briefly press
corrector T2 to increase the displayed hour by one. This setting is used to adjust the time zones in an eastward direction.
The hands move one hour forwards each time you press the corrector. Once you have pressed eleven times, you reach the
time zones from a westward direction and approach the current Central European Time. Accordingly, setting the time for
Great Britain would mean pressing eleven times.
Changing the battery:
Please always ask a specialist retailer to change the battery.
Only use a new, high-quality battery of the type “377 SR or 626SW”, as battery leakage could otherwise severely damage
your watch.
Always remove spent batteries from your watch immediately in order to prevent damage.
Attention:
Please observe the laws governing battery disposal!
Spent batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste. Please return spent batteries to your local retailer, to special
waste points or battery disposal points. Never open, short circuit or throw spent batteries into a fire.
Restart after replacing the battery:
Once the new battery has been inserted, the LCD display shows “Po”. The hands must now be set to the 12 o’ clock position.
Your radio-controlled watch will then accept this initial setting of the hands as the defined 12 ‘o clock position. Set the hands
as follows: Press corrector T2 in this mode (after replacing the battery) to move the hands in different speeds. The hands are
adjusted in individual stages by briefly and then releasing the corrector. If corrector T2 is pressed for longer, the watch switches
from individual stages to rapid advance. If you continue to press corrector T2, the watch will switch to rapid advance.
Release corrector T2 once the hands have reached rapid advance, and the hands will continue to advance quickly. Press
corrector T2 once more as soon as the hands have reached the 11:50 position, and the hands will stop immediately.
After this, you can move the hands to the precise 12 o’ clock position by briefly pressing corrector T2. Once both hands have
reached the 12 o’ clock position, press corrector T1 to confirm and activate the radio reception.

The display “00” flashes in the LCD in order to confirm the time adjustment and the activation of radio reception.
The hands remain at 12 o’ clock during the reception phase. Once your radio-controlled watch has detected the 59th second,
it will be displayed in the LCD. The current seconds will then run in the LCD display from then on. If reception is good,
the hands will move to the precise time after a few minutes. You can then use corrector T1 to set the LCD display to the
current day or second. If it is possible that your radio-controlled watch will receive no time information and is therefore unable
to complete the reception correctly. For these cases, your radio-controlled watch has special software to permit
manual setting.
Setting the watch manually:
Once the hands have been set to the 12 o’ clock position, press corrector T2 for longer than 3 seconds.
Now press corrector T2 to set the hands to the current time displayed by a different watch. The LCD display then shows the
hour you have set. Briefly press corrector T1 to confirm and complete manual setting. A “1” appears permanently in the LCD
display of your radio-controlled watch to denote the manual setting.
At the start of each full hour, despite the manual setting, your radio-controlled watch will attempt to receive a DCF signal.
If radio reception succeeds, your watch will return to displaying the current radio-controlled time.
Automatic functions on your radio-controlled watch:
- Synchronisation of the seconds
Daily synchronisation on your radio-controlled watch takes place between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. The watch’s receiver is activated
in this time and synchronised to the precise second with the radio-controlled time. In the event that the radio reception is
disturbed at that time, the watch will continue to run with great precision as a quartz watch. Your watch will be updated during
the next synchronisation of radio-controlled time and will then run on the precise radio-controlled time.
- Setting summer/winter time
Your watch will be adjusted automatically to summer / winter time in the hour between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m...
- Battery change display
Your watch indicates that the battery must be replaced in the LCD by flashing and alternating the current display between
“second” or “date” and “Lo”. The display informs you that soon, you will have to bring the watch to a specialist retailer to
change the battery. In the event that the battery in your radio-controlled watch reaches the threshold of minimum battery
voltage, it is possible that the battery change display will be activated prematurely in the LCD display under extremely cold
conditions. This display disappears once the outside conditions have returned to a normal range. Under normal conditions,
the battery can regenerate itself to a certain extent and all functions of the watch will once more be fully at your disposal.
