Radio-controlled alarm clock
Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium ato-
mic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundes-
anstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a
time deviation of less than one second in one million years.
The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near
Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a
transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. Your radio
clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the
exact time. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (sum-
mer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Saving Time DST is
shown on the display.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
• The recommended distance to any interfering sources like
computer screens or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as base-
ments, the received signal is naturally weakened. In
extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to
improve reception.

• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually
less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A sin-
gle daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy devia-
tion under 1 second.
