TOUCH
– Radio-controlled alarm clock
• Close the battery compartment again.
• The reception waves are flashing above the DCF reception button
and the clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal. When
the time code is received successfully after 10 minutes, the radio-
controlled time is displayed and OK is displayed steadily in the
LCD above the DCF reception button.
• If reception fails (OK does not appear on the display), the clock
will then try to receive the signal every 3 hours again.
• When the signal is received successfully the clock will receive the
signal once a day between 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
• If no reception is possible between 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock in the
morning, the clock tries to receive the signal four times every
hour. Is still no reception possible, the next trial is started again
between 2:00 to 3:00 o'clock in the morning.
• You can start the initialization manually. Press the DCF reception
button.
• The reception waves are flashing above the DCF reception but-
ton. If the reception is successful, OK appears on the display.
• To deactivate/activate the reception function, hold the DCF recep-
tion button until a short beep will sound (5-10 seconds).
• OFF appears/disappears on the display.
• If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (for example due to dis-
turbances, transmitting distance, etc.), the time can be set manual-
ly. The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock. (see: Manual
setting of the clock and calendar).
Note for radio-controlled time DCF
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic
clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braun-
schweig. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one mil-
lion 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-con-
trolled clock receives this signal 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 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 at least 1.5 - 2 metres.
