Overview

This document describes the Austin digital, radio-controlled clock (Ref. 11094), a device designed for precise timekeeping and environmental monitoring.

Function Description

The Austin clock is primarily a radio-controlled timepiece, meaning it automatically sets its time and date by receiving the DCF 77 frequency signal. This ensures high accuracy and eliminates the need for manual time adjustments, including automatic transitions for summer and winter time changes.

Beyond basic timekeeping, the clock offers a comprehensive set of features. It can display time in either a 12-hour or 24-hour format, with an option for manual time adjustment if needed. A time zone adjustment feature allows for a difference of up to ±12 hours, accommodating various geographical locations.

The device includes a calendar function, displaying the date, month, and day of the week. The day of the week can be shown in seven different languages: English, German, Italian, French, Danish, Dutch, and Spanish, making it versatile for users from different linguistic backgrounds.

An integrated thermometer measures and displays the interior temperature in either Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F), covering a range from 0°C to 60°C. This allows users to monitor the ambient temperature of their environment.

A unique feature of this clock is its moon phase calendar, which visually displays the current phase of the moon. This adds an aesthetic and informative element for those interested in celestial cycles.

For daily utility, the clock incorporates an alarm function. This alarm can be set for a specific time and features a crescendo sound, meaning the alarm signal gradually accelerates. It also includes a repeated snooze function, allowing users to temporarily silence the alarm for 5 minutes before it sounds again.

Usage Features

Installation and Setup:

Upon unpacking, users should gently remove any protective film. Battery installation involves opening the compartment at the back, inserting two 1.5V LR6/AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-), and then closing the cover. Incorrect battery insertion can damage the device. The clock offers two installation methods: it can be wall-mounted or used as a standalone device by raising its integrated stand.

Radio Signal Reception:

When batteries are inserted, the clock briefly lights up all symbols and emits an audible signal before entering DCF receiving mode for 7 to 10 minutes, indicated by a flashing aerial symbol. If automatic setting fails, the "Wave" button can be pressed to initiate a manual search for the DCF signal. Once received, the aerial symbol remains continuously displayed, indicating successful synchronization. To ensure good reception, the clock should be kept at least 2.5 meters away from electromagnetic sources like TVs, computers, or microwaves. If no signal is received within 10 minutes, the search stops, and the aerial symbol is erased. The clock will automatically attempt to resynchronize at 2 am daily, or at the next full hour if the 2 am attempt fails, repeating up to 5 times. Pressing the "Wave" button during reception can stop the search. A flashing aerial symbol indicates an ongoing search, while a continuously displayed symbol means the signal has been successfully received. Radio reception can be weaker in rooms with concrete walls or in offices, so placing the clock near a window may improve reception in such cases. During signal receiving mode, no other functions can be accessed.

Manual Adjustments:

  • Time/Calendar/Language: Holding the "SET" button for over 3 seconds allows manual adjustment of various settings. Users can toggle between 12/24-hour mode using "UP" or "DOWN" buttons. Subsequent presses of "SET" cycle through time zone adjustment (default 00, adjustable ±12), hours, minutes, year, month, date, and display language for the day of the week. The available languages are German (GER), English (ENG), Italian (ITA), French (FRE), Dutch (DUT), Spanish (SPA), and Danish (DAN). Pressing "SET" confirms each setting and exits the procedure. If no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the clock automatically reverts to normal display mode.
  • Daily Alarm: To set the alarm, hold the "ALARM" button for 3 seconds. The alarm time (default 00:00) will flash. Use "UP" or "DOWN" to set the hour, then press "ALARM" to confirm. The minutes will flash, allowing adjustment with "UP" or "DOWN," followed by another "ALARM" press to confirm and end the setting.
  • Alarm Activation/Deactivation: In normal display mode, a single press of the "ALARM" button activates or deactivates the alarm, indicated by an "A" icon above the seconds. The alarm sounds for 2 minutes if not deactivated and will automatically reset every 24 hours.
  • Snooze Function: When the alarm sounds, pressing the "SNOOZE" button (located at the rear) activates the snooze function, delaying the alarm for 5 minutes. "Zz" and "A" icons will flash. Pressing any other button turns off the snooze function.
  • Temperature Display: The "DOWN" button can be briefly pressed to toggle the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:

The clock can be cleaned with a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the face. Solvents or other harsh cleaning solutions should not be used as they may damage the product.

Battery Replacement:

When the display information begins to fade, it indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. To do this, open the battery compartment cover at the back of the clock by gently pulling it. Remove the old batteries and insert two new LR6 type batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the cover after replacement. Incorrect battery insertion can damage the device.

Troubleshooting:

  • Inability to access functions: If the clock is in radio-controlled signal receiving mode (flashing aerial), functions may be inaccessible. Wait for the signal to be received (aerial stops flashing) or press "WAVE" to stop the search.
  • Poor signal reception: This can be caused by interference from household appliances, proximity to TVs or radios (less than 2m), high-frequency emission devices (e.g., PCs), buildings with steel structures, or being more than 1,500 km from the emitter station. Topographical and meteorological conditions can also affect long wave reception. To reinitiate the signal, hold the "UP" button down or remove and reinsert the batteries, then place the clock near a window, away from interference sources.
  • Temperature display "LL" or not displayed: This indicates that the clock has detected data outside its possible range (0°C to 60°C).

Environmental Considerations:

Used batteries should not be thrown away or burned but should be scrapped according to local regulations for chemical waste. The product complies with WEEE and RoHS Directives, meaning it should be disposed of in line with local regulations for electronic waste.
