3. Getting started

3.1 Insert battery

• Open the battery compartment of the display unit and the transmitter
(screwed) and place both instruments on a desk with a distance of appro-
ximately 1.5 meter. Check that no other electronic devices are close. Insert
the batteries first into the battery compartment of the transmitter and
immediately afterwards in the display unit, observing the correct polarity.
3.2 Radio controlled time reception:
• After the initial setup, the display shows 4, 8 or 12 o'clock and is trying to
receive the radio signal. When the time code is received (max. 4 minutes),
the radio-controlled time will be displayed. If the time reception was not
successful, remove battery and reinsert after 1 min. for retry.
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Caesium Atomic Clock ope-
rated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which
has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years. 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 alarm clock receives this signal and con-
verts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime.
The quality of the reception depends greatly on the geographic location.
In normal cases, there should be no reception 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 a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received sig-
nal is naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a
window and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.

• During night-time, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe
and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily reception is adequate
to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
3.2 Reception of Thermo/Hygro Sensor
• The display unit automatically starts scanning the RF 433MHz signal to regi-
ster the Thermo Hygro Sensor Unit after batteries are inserted. If the recep-
tion of outdoor temperature fails, "- -" appears on the display. Check the
batteries and try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
