Radio-controlled projection alarm clock
• Press the TX button in the transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of
the outdoor data takes place immediately and if the reception is successful, the
outdoor temperature appears on the base station display.
• If contact between the transmitter and receiver is lost at a later time after success-
ful reception, "NO" appears after 30 minutes instead of the outdoor temperature.
Reception is reactivated every hour.
5.4 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
• After the reception of the outdoor values, the clock will now scan the DCF frequen-
cy signal and the DCF symbol flashes on the display.
• When the time code is successfully received after 3-10 minutes, the radio-con-
trolled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the display. If the recep-
tion fails, scanning stops and will be repeated every 2 hours.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morn-
ing. If the signal is not successfully received, further attempts will be taken at 4:00
and 5:00 o'clock.
• You can also activate the DCF reception manually. Press briefly the SET button in
normal mode. The DCF reception symbol will be flashing.
• Press the SET button again to stop the reception process. The DCF reception sym-
bol disappears.
• There are 3 different reception symbols:
flashing symbol – reception is active
solid – reception is successful
no symbol – no DCF reception
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to interference, transmitting dis-
tance, etc.), the time can be set manually.
• The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock (see: "Manual settings").
Note on radio-controlled time
• The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77
(77.5 kHz) frequency signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-controlled
clock receives the signal, converts it and always shows the exact time. The adjust-
ment of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also automatic.
• Avoid being close to possible sources of interference that may affect radio reception
(see "Location and mounting").
• During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe. A single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.

• Press the + or – button in setting mode if you want to deactivate the DCF reception
(DCF OFF).

DCF time when the signal is received successfully.
6.2.3 Setting of the time zone
• The time zone correction is needed for countries where the DCF signal can be
received but the time zone is different from the DCF time (e.g. +1=one hour plus).
• Press the + or – button to make the time zone correction (+12/-12).
