This unique feature enables to viewfour previouslyalarmset times including the current alarm1
time. To select the desired alarmtime froma previously recorded alarmtimewithout the need to
re-enter that specific alarmtime, please followthese steps:
1. Press the MEMO key to select fromany previouslyrecorded alarmtimes (current alarm1
time and the 3 previous alarmtimes).
2. Press either the ALM1/HOUR or ALM2/MIN key to store the selected alarmtime as the
current set alarmtime for Alarm1 or Alarm2.
3. If no selection of alarmtime is made, either press the SNOOZE key or the MODE key; or wait
for automatic timeout to exit the memory alarm mode.
Note:
The current alarm1 time viewed on the memory alarmmode can also be selected and stored on
the current alarm2 time by pressing ALM2/MIN key. Once this current alarm2 time has set,the
current alarm1 timewillautomaticallyreplace by the previous alarm2 time.
Upon exiting the memory alarmmode, the alarmicons (((1))) or (((2))) willbe automatically ON,
indicating thatthe Alarm1 or Alarm2 is active.
BACK-LIGHT
The back-light is automatically switched ON when any keys are pressed. The back-light willbe
switched on for approximately 2 seconds before automatically switching OFF. However, if any of
the keys are pressed and held down, then back-light willremain ON constantly untilthe key is
released.
REPLACING BATTERIES
•For optimumrunning accuracy, batteries should be replaced at least once a year or when the
LCD contrast becomes dimor unclear.
•Immediatelyremove alllowpowered batteriesto avoidleakage and damage. Replace only
with newbatteries of the recommended size.
Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to
an authorized depot.
MAINTENANCE
•Avoid placing alarmclock in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage
and inaccurate readings.
•Avoid exposure to sudden changes in temperature such as direct sunlight, extreme cold and
wet or moist conditions.
•When cleaning the display and casing, use a soft damp cloth only.Do not use solvents or
scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casing.
•Do not submerge the alarmclock into water.

AlarmTime Display
1. Press and hold the ALM1/HOUR key for about 2 seconds to enter the Alarm1 setting mode
(Alarm1 time will start flashing).
2. Use the ALM1/HOUR key to set the hour and the ALM2/MIN key to set the minute. Pressing
these keys continuously moves the hours and the minutes consecutively by 1.
3. Once the Alarmtime is set, either press the SNOOZE key or waitfor automatic timeout to exit
the alarmsetting mode.
Repeat the same steps using ALM2/MIN to enter the Alarm2 setting mode (Alarm2 time will
start flashing).
Note:
Ensure that the alarmicons (((1))) or/and (((2))) are displayed on the LCD otherwise the alarm(s)
willnot sound when the alarmtime is (are) reached. The duration for the alarmring time is about
90 seconds.
To set the alarmON/OFF, press the ALM1/HOUR or ALM2/MIN untilthe (((1))) or/and (((2))) icon
appears = ON or disappears= OFF.

AlarmTime Display
1. The distance of the alarmclock should be at least 1.5 - 2.0 meters away frominterfering
sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the alarmclock onto or in the immediate proximity of metaldoors, window
frames or structures.
3. Within thick concrete rooms such as basements and tower blocks, the DCF-77 signalis
naturally weaker. In extreme cases, place the alarmclock closer to a windowand/or point its
front or rear towards the generaldirection of the Frankfurttransmitter (avoidplacing near
metalframes and structures).
Note:
Users may be located in areas where atmospheric disturbances are the directcause for not
receiving the DCF-77 frequency signal. During nighttime, atmosphericdisturbances are usually
less severe and reception is possiblein most cases. With a singledaily reception, itisadequate
for the alarmclock to keep time deviation to below1 second in a period of 24 hours.
When scanning for time signal, the ‘DCF-77 Tower’ icon willstartflashing on the LCD as a sign
that the signalhas been found and reception is being attempted. Once the signalis“locked”, the
‘DCF-77 Tower’ icon willstay fixed on the LCD and the received time willautomatically correct
the manuallyset time. As well as the time, the date will also be received by the alarmclock
which is displayed accordinglyinthe calendar section of the LCD.
MANUALTIME SETTING MODE
In some cases after inserting the battery, the alarmclock may not be able to receive the DCF-77
signal.In this situation, the time should be manually set (before manualsetting see Checking
DCF-77 Reception above).
1. Press and hold the MODE key for about 2 seconds to enter the manualtime setting mode.
The time digits start flashing.
2. Set the time by pressing the ALM1/HOUR keyto enter the hour and the ALM2/MIN key to
enter the minutes (each press or holding the keys down will increase the digitsby one)
3. Once the time is set, either press the SNOOZE key or wait for automatic timeout to exit the
manualtime setting mode.
Note:
The calendar willnotbe displayed when time has been manually set. It onlywillbe displayed
when DCF reception is successful.

RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The time base for the radio-controlled time isa CesiumAtomic Clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische BundesanstaltBraunschweig which has a time deviation of less than
one second in everyone million years.
The time is coded and transmitted fromMainflingen near Frankfurt via frequencysignalDCF-77
(77.5 khz) and has a transmitting range ofapproximately 1,500 km. The alarmclock receives this
signaland converts it to showthe precise timeand so when within thisrange the received time is
completely accurate.
CHECKING FOR DCF-77 RECEPTION
The alarmclock willautomatically start scanning for the DCF-77 frequency signalafter the
battery isinserted.In normalsurroundings (for example away frominterfering sources such as
TV sets), it takes between 3 to 5 minutes to receive the signal.If after 10 minutes of inserting the
battery into the alarmclock and the DCF-77 signal isnot received, then check the following list
before manually setting the time (see Manual time setting below):

takes about3 to 5 minutes. When the time signalisbeing received, both the time and ‘DCF-
77 Tower’ icon will be displayed on the alarmclock.
4. If reception is not successfulwithin approximately 10 minutes, either manually set the time or
wait for the clock to receive DCF time. Usually, the clock willautomatically attempt each full
hour to receive the DCF time. When thisis successful,the received DCF timewilloverride
the manuallyset time. The date isalso updated with the received time (Please refer also to
notes on “Radio controlled time” and “Manual time setting”).
LCD SCREEN
The Memo Alarmclock can toggle and displayinformation of time, indoor temperature, seconds
and date when pressing the MODE key.
FUNCTION KEYS
The alarmclock has five easy-to-use function keys:
