6. Wo king p inciple
The WC8708 contains a receiver which receives a radio-signal from a radio
station located at Mainflingen near Frankfurt, Germany. This long-wave
radio-signal (DCF77, 77.5 kHz) is based on atomic clocks and contains time
and date information. For more information refer to www.ptb.de (PTB =
Physikalisch- Technische Bundesanstalt).
The WC8708 automatically synchronizes with this master clock radio-signal.

WC8708 Rev. 01

Due to its nature, the radio-signal can be received indoors. However, it
should be noted that the signal is weakened by the presence of concrete and
metal. Therefore the clock must not be installed in concrete basements or
inside metal cages. In large concrete office buildings or apartments, the
clock should be located near a window for better reception. Also avoid
installing the clock near strong magnetic fields or other devices that
generate a lot of electrical noise (e.g. engines).
7. Setting
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
•Insert batteries in the battery compartment [G] (see §10).
Time setting
•Choose a location for the clock (refer to §5). The clock can be wall
mounted or placed on a desktop using the included stand.
•Wait until the clock receives the synchronization signal from the master
clock. The clock will attempt to contact the master clock for 7 minutes. It
will automatically synchronize once every day at a fixed time (2:00 in the
morning). Note that the received signal is usually stronger at night time.
•During synchronization, the DCF-icon flashes. Once synchronized, the
icon is fixed on the display.
•When the clock doesn’t receive the radio-signal, it will not show the DCF-
icon and starts running showing the wrong time. The clock can be set to
the correct time manually (see below).
•To force wave detection, press and hold the CF- button [F] for ±5s. Note
that frequent use of this feature will shorten battery life time.
•To stop wave detection, press the CF- button [F] for ±2s.
•Default the clock is in 24h format. Press the UP-button [E] to switch to
12h format (AM or PM indicated in front of the time). Press and hold the
CF- button [F] for ±5s to re-synchronize the clock.
Setting the date / clock manually
•The date and time can be set manually when the clock is used in a place
without DCF reception (e.g. a basement) or in case synchronization is
temporarily not possible. Note that because of atmospheric conditions at
night time the DCF signal is stronger and travels further.
•Press and hold the SET-button [C] for ±5s. The display shows the year
(flashing).
•To change the setting, use the UP-[E] or DOWN-[F] button. Press the
SET-button [C] to confirm and move to the next adjustable parameter.
Parameter sequence = year – month – date – day language* - hour –
minutes – time zone offset - exit
* language options are: EN (English), GE (German), DA (Danish), ES
(Spanish), NE (Dutch), FR (French) or IT (Italian).
•If no key is pressed within 8s the clock returns to normal operation.

Ala m setting
•Press and hold the ALARM-button [D] for ±5s. The display shows the
alarm time; the hours are flashing.
•To change the setting, use the UP-[E] or DOWN-[F] button.
•Press the ALARM-button [D] to confirm and move to the minutes-setting.
•After setting the alarm minutes, press the ALARM-button [D] to confirm
and exit to normal display.
•If no key is pressed within 8s the clock returns to normal operation.
8. Ope ation
Ala m handling
•To enable the alarm, press the ALARM-button [D] shortly. The alarm-icon
appears. To disable it, press the ALARM-button [D] again.
•When the set time is reached, the alarm will sound. Format:
0~10s: 1 beep per second
11~20s: 2 beeps per second
21~30s: 4 beeps per second
31~120s: continuous beep.
•To go into snooze mode, press the SNOOZE-button [A]. The alarm is
postponed for ±5 minutes and the snooze-icon appears.
•Pressing any other button will stop and exit the alarm.
Weathe fo ecast [4]
• The weather icon shows a forecast of the weather for the next 24h.
• There are 4 icons:
sun
sun/clouds
clouds
rain
• Place the weather station in a natural ventilated area (e.g. not in a room
with air-conditioning) to get more accurate results.
Tempe atu e display [5]
• The temperature range is 0~50°C (32~122°F).
• To switch between °C and °F display, press the CF button [F] shortly.
• The trend indicator is based on the difference between a recorded
temperature and the current temperature. When the current temperature
is at least 1°C higher than the recorded, the arrow will point up and the
current temperature becomes the recorded. If the temperature is at least
1°C lower than the recorded value, the arrow will point down and the
current temperature becomes the recorded. In all other cases, the arrow
will be flat.
Note: the recorded temperature is set to the current temperature at
start-up or reset of the weather station.

6. Wat is het DCF-signaal
De WC8708 bevat een ontvanger die de radiografische signalen (DCF77)
door de tijdseinzender in Frankfurt uitgezonden kan ontvangen. De
tijdseinzender is gekoppeld aan een atoomklok die de tijd- en
datuminformatie bevat. Uw WC8708 zal bij ontvangst van het DCF-signaal
de wijzers automatisch met de atoomklok synchroniseren.
Het radiosignaal is gemakkelijk binnenshuis te ontvangen. De ontvangst kan
echter verzwakken indien er beton en metaal aanwezig is. Het is daarom
niet aan te raden om de klok te installeren in kelders en binnenin een
metalen kooi. De beste locatie om de klok op kantoor of op een flat te
installeren, is naast een raam.
Vermijd ook installatie in de buurt van magnetische velden of apparaten die
elektrische ruis voortbrengen (bv. een motor).
7. De klok instellen
Raadpleeg de afbeeldingen op pagina 2 van deze handleiding.
•Plaats de batterijen in het batterijvak [G] (zie §10).
Tijdsinstelling
•Kies een locatie voor de klok (raadpleeg §5). U kunt de klok aan de muur
hangen of op een tafel plaatsen met behulp van het meegeleverde statief.
•Wacht tot de klok het signaal van de masterklok ontvangt. De klok zoekt
nu gedurende een 7-tal minuten contact met de masterklok. De
automatische synchronisatie gebeurt dagelijks om 02u00 ’s nachts (het
signaal is doorgaans sterker ‘s nachts).
•Tijdens de synchronisatieprocedure knippert het DCF-symbool . Na de
synchronisatie wordt dit symbool vast op de display weergegeven.
