POWER SUPPLY______________________________________
Mains operation
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the device)
corresponds to your local mains supply. If this is not the case, contact your
specialist dealer.
1Plug the power cord into the wall socket (230 V~, 50 Hz).
Caution:
The device is connected to the mains with the power plug. To fully dis-
connect the device from the mains, pull out the plug.
The mains plug is used to disconnect the device. It shall remain readily ope-
rable and should not be obstructed during intended use.
Inserting the back-up battery
During mains operation, the back-up battery ensures that stored settings
are not lost in the case of a power failure or when the device is briefly discon-
nected from the mains.
1Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device by pressing the
marked surface, pushing back the cover and removing it.
2When inserting the battery (9 V, 6LF 22 type) note the polarity determined
by the contacts.
3Reinsert the cover and push it forward until it clicks into place.
Note:
Take out the back-up battery when you know that the device will not be
used for a long period of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
damage caused by leaking batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those that contain no heavy metals, may not be
disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an
environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which
apply in your area.

SETTINGS ______________________________________________
Radio-controlled clock
With your built-in radio-controlled clock, you are in possession of an
absolutely precise alarm and meeting clock which is automatically set to the
radio-transmitted time signals of the most precise clock in the world: the
atomic clock of the Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB – the German
national metrology institute). This clock is so precise that in 1 million years a
deviation of 1 second can be expected.
Your radio-controlled alarm clock receives “time telegrams” via long wave
77.5 kHz from the time signal transmitter DCF 77, located in Mainflingen
(24 km south-east of Frankfurt/Main). This time signal transmitter has a range
of 1500 km.
The device receives the station DCF 77 free of charge via the connected
DCF 77 antenna everywhere, where a sufficient long wave reception is
possible with a good portable radio. In many cases, your radio clock receives
the time telegrams from a considerable distance from the station; however,
the local reception quality plays a significant role here.
The installed microprocessor of the radio-controlled clock processes the
received time telegrams and controls the quartz clock fully automatically.
After the clock is first activated, the DCF synchronisation is performed immedi-
ately and subsequently every day at 2 am and 3 am. Depending on the point
of reception, synchronisation can take several minutes. During this process,
the »g•« display flashes, if the signal is strong enough, in a 1 second
rhythm of the received time telegram. After synchronisation has taken place,
the display begins to light up. In addition to the advantages of the time preci-
sion and the exact, to-the-second wake-up and alarm signal, your radio clock
sets itself fully automatically from winter time to summer time.

Setting time and day of the week
If the device has been switched on for the first time – if no time signal has
been received – »:« flashes in the display as a sign that the time has to be set.
The same applies after a power failure or if the device has been disconnected
from the mains supply and no back-up battery has been inserted.
1Press »SET«.
– Display: »:« flashes.
2Press »HOUR/VOL« briefly to set the hours step-by-step or hold down to
run through the hours continuously.
3Press »MIN/VOL« briefly to set the minutes step-by-step or hold down to
run through the minutes continuously.
Notes:
When the minute display changes from »59« to »00«, this does not affect
the hour display.
The device saves the set time automatically after 10 seconds.
4To set the day of the week, press »TIME ZONE/WEC« and »SET« at the
same time.
– Display: for example, the day of the week »1« = Monday.
5Set the day of the week (»1« = Monday, »2«, »3«, »4«, »5«, »6« or
»7« = Sunday) using »HOUR/VOL« or »MIN/VOL«.
– The device saves the selected day of the week automatically after
5 seconds.
Note:
