NOTES ON BATTERIES AND RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
- Batteries/rechargeable batteries do not belong in the hands of children.
- Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around; there is a risk of
them being swallowed by children or pets. If they are swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
- Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries in contact with the skin
can cause acid burns; therefore, use suitable safety gloves.
- Batteries/rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited, opened or thrown
into fire. There is a risk of explosion!
- Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batteries; risk of explosion! Only re-
charge rechargeable batteries that are intended for this purpose; use a suitable
battery charger.
- Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery/rechargeable
battery (pay attention to plus/+ and minus/-).

INSERTING AND REPLACING BATTERIES
- Remove the battery compartment cover (8) from the back of the device.
- Insert 2 AA batteries, observing correct polarity. Heed correct polarity as indica-
ted in the battery compartment.
- Once you have inserted the batteries, the product searches immediately and
automatically for the time signal. The rings of the reception icon flash at the top
right of the display (1). The rings remain lit and the correct time is set automa-
tically when reception is successful. The more rings that are lit, the better the
reception.
- Close the battery compartment.
- Replace the batteries when display operation weakens significantly.

The use of rechargeable batteries is possible. However, the lower operating
voltage (rechargeable battery = 1.2 V, battery 1.5 V) and lower capacity will
reduce the operating time.
DCF RECEPTION
Immediately after the batteries are inserted, the device makes a first attempt to
receive the DCF signal.

The detection of the DCF signal and its analysis lasts a few minutes. Do not
move the radio-controlled alarm clock during this time. Do not press any
buttons!
Bad reception can be caused, for example, by metalised insulated glass, rein-
forced concrete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electronic
devices, or installation in basements.
The DCF time is automatically synchronised everyday. This is sufficient to keep the
deviation less than one second per day.
The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted
via a DCF transmitter in Mainflingen (near
Frankfurt am Main). Its range is up to 1500
km and, under ideal reception conditions,
even up to 2000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal in-
cludes the precise time (theoretical devia-
tion of one second in a million years!) and
the date.
Naturally, this also eliminates the hassle
of manually setting up summer and winter
times.
