
6. Getting started
• Remove the protective film from the display.
• Insert the power adapter pin into the device jack and connect the plug to a wall socket.
• Important! Make sure that your household voltage is no more than 240V! Otherwise your device may be damaged.
• The device is ready for use. All segments will be displayed for about 2 seconds
• Open the battery compartment and insert two new AAA 1.5 V batteries, polarity as illustrated.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• The device only works with the power adapter. The batteries will operate as a backup power source in case of power
failure.
6.1 Radio-controlled time reception
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display. When the time code
is successfully received after 3-8 minutes, the radio-controlled time and the DCF symbol will be shown steadily on the
display.
• To avoid interference, the display light becomes weak during the reception of the radio controlled clock and the USB port
turns off.
• The DCF reception always takes place at 2:00 in the morning. If the reception is not successfully received, further
attempts will be taken at 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock.
• You can also start the initialization manually.

• Press and hold the UP button for three seconds.
• The clock will now scan the DCF frequency signal and the DCF symbol will be flashing on the display.
• To end the DCF reception attempt, press the UP button again. The DCF reception symbol disappears.
• There are three different reception states:
flashing – reception is active
solid – reception is very good
no symbol – no DCF reception
• 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 base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physikalisch Technische Bundes-
anstalt based in Braunschweig (Brunswick), Germany. It has a time deviation of less than one second in one million years.
The time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen near Frankfurt via the frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a
transmitting range of approximately 1,500 km. The adjustment to Daylight Saving Time (summer/winter time) is automatic.
In Daylight Saving Time DST is shown on the display . The reception quality depends mainly on geographic location. Nor-
mally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around Frankfurt.
