Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting range of approximately
1,500 km. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic. In Daylight Sav-
ing Time the DST symbol is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geographic
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.
