This document describes the Ephemeris Multi-language DST Calendar Clock #11101, a digital clock designed for clear readability with yellow-orange LED displays.

Function Description

The Ephemeris Multi-language DST Calendar Clock #11101 is a digital clock that displays the time, date (day, date, month, and year), and automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (DST). Its primary function is to provide an easy-to-read display of essential time and date information in multiple languages.

Key Features:

Automatic DST Adjustment: The clock features an internal processor that automatically handles summer/winter time changes. This occurs on the last Sunday in March for summer time and the last Sunday in October for winter time, every year.
Multi-language Support: Users can select from five languages for the display of the month and day: French, English, German, Dutch, and Spanish.
High Readability: The clock boasts excellent readability due to its large, contrasting yellow-orange LED characters against a black background.
Adjustable Light Intensity: The light intensity of the display automatically decreases from 10 PM to 7 AM, making it less disruptive during nighttime hours.
Memory Function: An internal CR2032 button battery (with a 4/5-year lifetime) is included to memorize data, such as settings and time, in the event of a power cut. This ensures that the clock retains its settings even without continuous power.
Manual DST Override: Users have the option to activate or deactivate the automatic DST function. If deactivated, summer and winter time adjustments will need to be made manually, which is useful for regions that do not observe DST.

Usage Features

The clock is designed for ease of use with a straightforward setup and adjustment process.

Initial Setup:

Carefully remove the clock from its packaging.
Plug the supplied adaptor into the clock (located at the bottom right-hand corner of the back) and then into an electrical socket.
By default, the clock should display the correct time and date, as it retains manufacturer's data via the internal battery.

Setting the Clock (Normal Display Mode): The clock is set using three buttons (A, B, C) located at the back.

Button A: Used to set the calendar and time, and to confirm settings.
Button B (+-): Used to scroll through settings in ascending order.
Button C (+-): Used to scroll through settings in descending order.

To enter setting mode, hold down Button A. The display will then guide you through the following steps:

Set Hours: The hours will flash. Use Button B or C to adjust the hour, then press Button A to confirm.
Set Minutes: The minutes will flash. Use Button B or C to adjust the minutes, then press Button A to confirm.
Set Year: The year will flash. Use Button B or C to adjust the year, then press Button A to confirm.
Set Month: The month will flash. Use Button B or C to adjust the month, then press Button A to confirm.
Set Date: The date will flash. Use Button B or C to adjust the date, then press Button A to confirm.
Set Language: The language will flash. Use Button B or C to select the desired language (French, English, German, Spanish, Dutch), then press Button A to confirm.

Note: Once the year, month, and date are set, the day of the week is automatically determined. If the day is incorrect, it indicates an incorrect year setting, and the adjustment process should be repeated from step 3. If no action is taken for 30 seconds during setting, the clock will revert to displaying the time.

Activating/Deactivating DST Mode:

To activate or deactivate DST, hold down Button B for at least 3 seconds.
Validate your choice by pressing Button B again.
When DST is activated, a luminous yellow-orange dot will appear next to the time. If deactivated, this dot will disappear, and manual time adjustments will be necessary for summer/winter time changes.

Maintenance Features

Replacing the Battery: The clock includes a CR2032 button battery for data memory during power outages. This battery has an estimated life of 4 to 5 years and can be replaced.

Procedure for Battery Replacement:

Unplug the jack plug from the clock.
Remove all screws from the back of the clock.
Carefully open the back casing.
Carefully remove the depleted CR2032 battery.
Replace it with a new CR2032 type battery, ensuring correct polarity.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common issues:

Incorrect Day Display: If the clock is not displaying the correct day, check your settings, as an incorrect year may have been set. Repeat the setting process from the beginning.
Incorrect Language Display: If the clock is not displaying the required language, check your settings. Repeat the setting process up to the language selection step and ensure the correct language is chosen.

Environmental Considerations: The product complies with WEEE and ROHS Directives. Electrical and electronic products, including batteries, should not be disposed of with household waste. They should be taken to appropriate collection points for recycling in accordance with local regulations.
