Radio controlled projection clock
Radio controlled time reception
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Caesium Atomic
Clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt
Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less than one
second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted
from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77
(77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately
1,500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geo-
graphic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception
problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like com-
puter monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures),
the received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases,
please place the unit close to a window and/or point its
front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
• During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually
less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single
daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation
below 1 second.

• The setting sequence is shown as follow: Minutes, year,
month and day. Press UP or DOWN button to make the
desired settings.
• The instrument will quit the setting mode, if there is no but-
ton used within 30 seconds.
• If DCF reception is on, the manually set time will be over-
written by the DCF time when the signal is received success-
fully.
4.2 Day-of-week language
• Press and hold DOWN button.
• Language abbreviations change from one language to
another: English (EN), German (GE), French (FR), Italian (IT),
Spanish (SP) and Dutch (DU).
4.3 Temperature display
• Press °C/°F button to change between °C (Celsius) or °F
(Fahrenheit) as temperature unit.
4.4 Setting of time zone
• The time zone is used for countries where the DCF signal
can be received but the time zone is different from the DCF
time (e.g. + +1=one hour later).
• Hold UP button for 2 seconds in normal mode (time/temper-
ature display).
• "F" appears on the display.
• Hold MODE button for 2 seconds.
• The hour digit is flashing.
• Press UP or DOWN button to adjust hours to your local time.
• Confirm with MODE button.
• Hold UP button again to return to normal mode.
