DCF reception is done twice daily at 02:00 and 03:00 am. If the reception is not successful at 03:00 am, then the
next reception takes place the next hour and so on until 06:00am, or until the reception is successful. If the
reception is not successful at 06:00 am, then the next attempt will take place the next day at 02:00 am.
If the tower icon flashes, but does not set the time or the DCF tower does not appear at all, then 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 signal 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 nighttime, 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.
