BOXX – Radio-controlled alarm clock with thermometer
Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt based in
Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. The time is coded and trans-
mitted 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. The reception quality depends mainly on geograph-
ic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
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 basements, 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 single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
8. Operation
• Press and hold the ▲ or ▼ button in the respective setting mode for quick setting.
• The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 30 seconds.
• Important: The device cannot be operated during the DCF time-signal reception.
