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 clock receives this sig-
nal and converts it to show the precise time. Changeover from summer
time or winter time is automatic. The quality of the reception depends
mainly on the geographic location. Normally there should be no recep-
tion problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer
monitors or TV sets is at least 1.5 - 2 meters.
• Inside ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the
received signal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place
the unit close to a window to improve the reception.
• During nighttime, 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 below 1 second.
6. Operation
• The instrument will automatically quit the setting mode if no button
is pressed within 30 seconds.
• Press and hold the ▲ or ▼ button in the setting mode for fast run-
ning.
