3. Check whether the delivery is complete (see fig. A).
4. Check whether the clock exhibits any damages.
5. If the delivery is incomplete or if the clock exhibits
damage, do not use it; instead contact the manufac-
turer at the service address provided on the warran-
ty card.
Installing⁄setting up the clock
You can choose from various possibilities for positioning
the clock:
• Mounting the clock with the suction cups 3
(see fig. A),
• Mounting the clock with the hanging loop 2,
• Setting up the clock on the support foot 4.
Mounting the clock with the suction cups
Observe the following notes when mounting the clock
with the suction cups 3(see fig. A):
• Make sure that the base which you set the clock
up on is free of dust and grease. If necessary, use a
cleaner to clean the surface in advance.
• Set up your clock in a location where it cannot be
damaged. If the clock comes loose on its own and
falls down, please keep in mind that broken glass
is not covered by warranty!
• Avoid fixing one of the suction cups directly over a
tile joint as it will not be possible to create a vacuum
here and the suction cup will not hold (see fig. E).

• The suction cups only stick to smooth surfaces.
• From time to time, fix the clock again and check
how secure it is as the suction cups may come
loose after a while.
• Do not mount the clock in the shower area as the
clock is only protected against moisture. Excessive
exposure to water could cause it to malfunction.
• Do not pull directly on the clock to loosen it. This will
avoid defects affecting the device or the surface.
The clock’s suction cups are suitable for attachment to
smooth surfaces, e.g. tiles (the tiles must be glossy, the
suction cups will not stick to mat tiles), mirrors and glass
surfaces etc.
− Wet the suction cups somewhat before pressing
them into place to ensure they are firmly attached.
Removing the suction cups
− Lift up the edge of the suction cups 3one by one to
let air in (see fig. A).
You can now take the suction cups off of the surface.
Mounting the clock with the hanging
loop
If you are unable to mount the clock with suction cups,
you can use the hanging loop 2on the back of the
cover (see fig. A).
− Hang the clock on a nail or a screw in a suitable loca-
tion on the wall.

Start-up GBIRE

Start-up
The radio-controlled clock should be at least
1.5 to 2 m away from interference sources
like computer screens or television sets.
Avoid placing the clock directly up against
or near metallic window frames.
In rooms with reinforced concrete walls (cel-
lars, tower buildings etc.) the radio signal
will become unavoidably weaker. In ex-
treme cases, place the clock near a window
and/or align it so that the front or back side
points towards Frankfurt/M.
Analogue clock
1. Insert the battery 5as described in the chapter
“Changing the battery” (see fig. A).
2. The clock will switch to the express setting, that is,
the hands 25 will move quickly and will line up at 12
o’clock position. The clock will now search for a radio
signal (see fig. H).
3. If a radio signal is found, the hands will automatically
be set to the correct time completing the process.
This process may take up to 15 minutes.
4. If it is not possible to receive a radio signal, the hands
will stay in the 12 o’clock position.

Digital clock
1. Insert the battery 5as described in the chapter
“Changing the battery” (see fig. A).
2. After you have inserted the battery, LCD mode will
appear and the clock will start looking for radio
signals; this is indicated by the blinking radio tower
symbol 18 (see fig. F and G).
Attention: No other settings can be performed dur-
ing this time. This process may take approx. 2 – 5
minutes.
3. Once a radio signal is received, the date and time will
be set automatically. The radio tower symbol 18 is
permanently visible (see fig. F and G).
4. If it is not possible to receive the radio signal, the ra-
dio tower symbol will not be shown.
If you fail to receive a signal, observe the notes at the
beginning of this chapter.
− As there are fewer atmospheric disturbances at
night, the radio-controlled clock will in most cases
receive a radio signal then. Generally speaking, syn-
chronising the clock once a day is enough to keep
the exact time.
To start searching for a radio signal again, proceed as
follows:
1. Press the “FUNK” (RADIO SIGNAL) button 11
(see fig. B).
2. Press the “NEUSTART” (RESTART) 9button.
If that doesn’t work, remove the battery, wait approx. 30
seconds and then insert it again.
