6.3 Reception of the DCF frequency signal
After the reception of the transmitters, the clock will
now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF
reception symbol flashes on the display.
When the time code is successfully received after 3-
10 minutes, the radio-controlled time, the date, day
of the week and the DCF symbol will be shown
steadily on the display.
You can also activate the DCF reception manually.
Press and hold the -/MIN button for 5 seconds. The
DCF reception symbol flashes.
The DCF reception always takes place at 1:00, 2:00
and 3:00 o'clock in the morning. If the signal is not
successfully received, further attempts will be taken
at 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock.
If the clock cannot detect the DCF-signal (e.g. due to
interference, transmitting distance, etc.), the time
can be set manually.
The clock will then work as a normal quartz clock
(see: “Manual settings”).
Note on radio-controlled time
The time is transmitted from an atomic clock near
Frankfurt am Main by a DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) frequency
signal with a range of about 1,500 km. Your radio-
controlled clock receives the signal, converts it and
always shows the exact time. The adjustment of
Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time is also auto-
matic.
During night-time, the atmospheric interference is
usually less severe. A single daily reception is ade-
quate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a
window to improve reception.
