DCF RECEPTION
Attempts to receive the DCF signal for daily automatic synchronisation are made at
2 a.m. and 3 a.m at night. One successful reception per day is suffi cient to keep the
deviation to less then 1 second.
The DCF signal is encoded and transmitted via a
DCF transmitter in Mainfl ingen (near Frankfurt).
Its range is up to 1500 km and, under ideal recep-
tion conditions, even up to 2000 km.
Among other things, the DCF signal includes the
precise time (theoretical deviation of 1 second in
a million years!) and the date.
This means there is no need for manual setting
of summer and winter time.
If your watch does not display the correct time after delivery, the DCF receiver has
to be triggered manually.
Manual Reception Mode
- Press the push-button (B) with a pointed object, for more than 3 seconds.
- The hour and minute hands move to the 12 o'clock position.
- If this does not happen, please proceed as described in „Positioning the hands".
- If DCF reception is possible, the reception display fl ashes in the display (C) and
the second display will start to run shortly after.
- The hands automatically set themselves to the current time, after successful DCF
reception.
 
The recognition and interpretation of the DCF signal can take 2-5 minutes. Do
not move the watch, during this time. Do not use any push-buttons!
Bad reception can be caused, for example, by metalized insulated glass, rein-
forced concrete buildings, coated special wallpapers, proximity to electronic
devices, or installation in cellars.
If the hands are not set to the current time after 10 minutes, change the
clock's location for reception and restart the reception attempt, as described
above.
Positioning the hands
If the hours and minutes hands do not run exactly to the 12 o'clock position when
making a reception attempt, positioning must be performed manually.
- Briefl y press the push-button (A), using a pointed object.
- The display shows „H".
- Press the push-button (A) again, the hands can now be moved manually. If you
press briefl y, the hands are moved stepwise. If you press a little longer, the hands
begin to run automatically, which you can stop by pressing (A) again.
- When the hands have reached the 12 o'clock position, press the push-button (B)
within 9 seconds. The display (C) changes to „S".
- You can now also adjust the second hand to the 12 o'clock position, by using the
push-button (A).
- Press the push-button (B) with a pointed object for more than 3 seconds.
- The watch starts an attempt to receive the DCF signal.
- The watch automatically sets itself to the correct time, after successful recep-
tion.
