Preparing the product for use / Operation
Radio Signal (DCF):
The DCF signal (time signal transmitter) consists of time pulses
emitted by one of the most accurate clocks in the world close to
Frankfurt / Main, Germany – this varies by 1 second in a million
years. Your radio-controlled alarm clock will receive the time signal
under optimum conditions up to a distance of approx. 1,500 km
from Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The radio time signal reception
process normally takes about 12 minutes.
Note: After the alarm clock has received the DCF signal, the
appropriate time zone is set automatically.
Operation
Receiving the DCF radio time signal
The alarm clock automatically starts to search for the DCF radio
time signal when the batteries
6
are inserted. This process takes
about 12 minutes to complete. As soon as the radio alarm clock has
synchronised, it displays the time from the DCF radio time signal. If
synchronisation is not successful, the display stops at “12:00” until
the radio alarm clock receives a signal again (with products for the
Greek market, the display stops at “01:00”).
