The device then switches to receiving-mode, during which
the number of radio waves indicates the quality of the
reception: The more radio waves shown on the display, the
better is the reception.
As soon as the time signal is received in sufficient strength, the
display shows the time.
The radio-controlled alarm clock automatically switches to
reception several times every night. During this process, the
displayed time is compared with that received from the time
signal transmitter and, if necessary, corrected.
If a sufficiently strong signal has not been received, the radio-
controlled alarm clock will cancel the receiving process after a few
minutes and the radio tower symbol goes out.
The receiving process is started again at a later point in time. In
this case, the time proceeds as usual (beginning with the start
time of "00:00").
