Once the outdoor temperature is displayed on the Temperature Station, the DCF tower icon in
the clock display will start flashing in the upper left corner. This indicates that the clock has
detected that there is a radio signal present and is trying to receive it. When the time code is
received, the DCF tower becomes permanently lit and the time will be displayed.
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 meters.
• 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.
