8 Troubleshooting
The radio controlled clo ck does not receive a rad io signal: If the clock does
not receive a sign al, please try again at a differ ent location. The reception of
the signal can be impaired or even prevented by structural or natural
obstructions (e.g. mountains). The radio controlled wall clo ck is equipped
with a quartz clock which can then be used as an alternativ e (see section
4.2.2 "Manual setting"). Electromagnetic or atm ospheric interference can
also disrupt the radio signal. This type of interference can no rmally be
eliminated by si mply selecting a different locatio n.
Incorrect temperature di spl ay:
The temperatu re display is influenced by
direct sunlight. Please position your clock in such a way that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight.
Weak batteries: Replace the batteries as soon as the display becomes weak
or faded. When inserting the ne w batteries always make sure th e polarity is
correct (see section 6 "Changing the batteries"). After changing t he batteries
proceed as described und er section 3 "Comm issioning".
