outdoors.
LCD 1 RADIO CONTROLLED TIME:
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a Cesium 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 Temperature Station receives this signal and converts it to show the
precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception
problems within a 1500km radius of Frankfurt.
Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Temperature Station, the DCF tower icon in the clock display will start
flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has detected that there is a radio signal present and is
Time
trying to receive it. When the time code is received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be
displayed. If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then please take
note of the following:

•
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2
meters.
•
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 nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe - the reception is possible in most cases.
A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.

MANUAL TIME SETTING:

Outdoor
temperature in ºC In case the Temperature Station is not able to detect the DCF-signal (disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time
can be manually set. The clock will then work as a normal Quartz clock:
