SAFETY AND SET-UP ____________________________
7
This device is designed for the
playback of audio signals. Any
other use is expressly prohibited.
7
Protect the device from moisture
(water drops or splashes). Do not

When deciding where to place
the device, please note that furni-
ture surfaces are covered by vari-
ous types of varnish and plastic,
most of which contain chemical
additives. These additives can cor-
rode the device supports, leaving
residues on the furniture surfaces
which can be difficult or impossi-
ble to remove.

ENGLISH 19
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
disconnected from the mains.
1 Open the battery compartment lid
by pressing on the arrow and pus-
hing down the lid.
2 When inserting the battery (9 V,
6LF 22), observe the polarity mar-
ked on the base of the battery com-
partment.
Note:
7 Remove the back-up battery
when it is flat or when you know
that the device will not be used
for a long period of time.
Environmental note:
7 Batteries, including those which
do not contain heavy metal,
should not be disposed of
with household waste. Always
dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local environ-
mental regulations.
POWER SUPPLY ________________________________
Mains operation
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.
1 Plug the mains cable into the so-
cket (230V~, 50/60 Hz).
Caution:
7 The device is connected to the
mains with the power plug. To
fully disconnect the device from
the mains, pull out the plug.
7 The mains plug is used to dis-
connect the device. It shall
remain readily operable and
should not be obstructed during
intended use.

20 ENGLISH
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
immediately and subsequently every
day at 2 am and 3 am. Depending
on the point of reception, synchroni-
sation can take several minutes. Dur-
ing this process, the » « display
flashes, if the signal is strong enough,
in a 1 second rhythm of the received
time telegram. After synchronization
has taken place, the » « display
begins to light up. If the » « dis-
play disappear, the synchronization
was not successful.
In addition to the advantages of the
time precision and the exact, to-the-
second wake-up and alarm signal,
your radio clock sets itself fully auto-
matically from winter time to summer
time.
SETTINGS ________________________________________
Radio-controlled clock
With your built-in radio-controlled
clock, you are in possession of an
absolutely precise alarm and meet-
ing 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 mil-
lion 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 Main-
flingen (24 km south-east of Frank-
furt/Main). This time signal transmitter
has a range of 1500 km.
The device receives the station
DCF 77 free of charge via the con-
nected DCF 77 antenna everywhere,
where a sufficient long wave recep-
tion 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 recep-
tion quality plays a significant role
here.

ENGLISH 21
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 – »0:00« appears
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.
1 Press »SET«.
– Display: »:« flashes.
2 Press »HOUR/VOL+« briefly to
set the hours step-by-step or hold
down to run through the hours
continuously.
3 Press »MIN/VOL-« briefly to set
the minutes step-by-step or hold
down to run through the minutes
continuously.
Notes:
7 When the minute display chang-
es from »59« to »00«, this does
not affect the hour display.
7 The device saves the set time
automatically after 10 seconds.
4 To 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.
SETTINGS ________________________________________
5 Set the day of the week (»1« =
Monday, »2«, »3«, »4«, »5«, »6«
or »7« = Sunday) using »HOUR/
VOL+« or »MIN/VOL-«.

day of the week automatically
after 5 seconds.
Note:
7 Display the selected day of the
week and press »SNOOZE«
longer than 3 seconds and hold
it pressed.
Setting the time zone
If you use the device outside of the
Central European Time Zone (CET),
you can correct the time by +/– 2

VOL+« or »MIN/VOL-« (Scale:
»00«, »01«, »02«, »-02« and »-01«).
– Display: e.g. »02«.

22 ENGLISH
Note:
7 If a back-up battery has not been
inserted, the time is automatically
reset by DCF time synchronisa-
tion as long as the DCF recep-
tion is strong enough. Alarm time
and time zone synchronisation
are each reset to the values
»00:00« and »00«. Please note
that, in this case, you may be
wakened at the wrong time.
