• If,during initial setup of the device, no DCF radio signal is received within the rst few
minutes, the search is aborted. The radio icon (4) will go out.
• If thereare reception problems, we recommend leaving the clock to sit overnight, since
interference is generally less at night.
• In the meantime, you can start amanual search for the DCF radio signal at another location
or you can manually set the time and date.
•The clock automatically continues to search for the DCF signal on adaily basis (at 1amand
