7.1 Manual setting of the clock and calendar
Press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The hour digit will be flashing. Press the +/°C °F or
-/RCC button to adjust hours. Press the MODE button to make the settings in the following
sequence: the minutes, the year, the month, the day, the language of the day of the week (ENG -
default), the 12 or 24 hours system (24hr - default), DCF reception (RCC on - default) and the time
zone (00 - default). Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button to adjust it.
Confirm the setting with the MODE button.
Once the DCF time signal is successfully received, the manually set time is overwritten, if the DCF
reception is activated.
7.1.1 Day-of-the week language
In the setting mode you can choose between the day-of-the week language: German (GER), English
(ENG), Italian (ITA), French (FRE), Dutch (DUT), Spanish (SPA) and Danish (DAN).
7.1.2 12/24-hour display setting
In the setting mode you can choose between the 12 - or 24 hour system.
In 12 HR system AM (before noon) or PM (after noon) appears on the display.
7.1.3 DCF reception
By default, the DCF reception is activated (RCC on) and after successful reception of the DCF signal
no manual adjustment is necessary.
Press the +/°C °F or -/RCC button if you want to deactivate the DCF reception (RCC OFF).
6.4.1 Note on radio-controlled time
The time base for the radio-controlled time is a caesium atomic clock operated by the Physika-
lisch Technische Bundesanstalt 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 the DST symbol is shown on the display. The reception quality depends mainly on geo-
graphic location. Normally there should be no reception problems within a 1,500 km radius around
Frankfurt.
Therefore, please note the following steps:
The recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer screens or TV sets is at least
1.5 - 2 meters.
Within concrete walls (reinforced with steel) such as basements, the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window to improve reception.
During night-time, the atmospheric interference is usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation under 1 second.
7. Operation
Important: Buttons will not function while scanning DCF or transmitter signal, unless they are well
received or stopped manually.
During the operation, all successful settings will be confirmed by a brief beep tone.
Press and hold the +/°C °F or -/RCC button in the setting mode for fast mode.
The device will automatically quit the setting mode if no button is pressed for 20 seconds.
