TIME CALIBRATION SIGNAL RECEPTION PRECAUTIONS
• This clock is able to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from
Mainflingen, Germany (located 25kilometers southeast of Frankfurt).
Signal reception is possible within approximately 1,200 km of the
transmitter.
• Even when the clock is within the reception range, signal reception is
impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the clock and signal source.
• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and
seasonal changes.
• The time calibration signal is bounced off the ionosphere. Because of
this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well
as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal
atmosaheric changes or the time of day may change the reception
range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.
• Reception is best when the back of the clock is facing toward
Mainflingen. Note, however, that moving the clock while the time
calibration signal receive operation is taking place will make stable
reception impossible.
• Think of the clock as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration signal.When receiving indoors,
move to a location as near as possible to a window. Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible
under the conditions listed below.

• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
• Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.
• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
• The alarm does not operate during signal reception.
USING THE CLOCK
Any of the following procedures can be used to set current date and time.
• Auto receive of the time calibration signal
• Manual receive of the time calibration signal
• Manual setting without using the time calibration signal
Auto Receive
• The clock receives the time calibration signal eight times each day (2:00, 5:00, 8:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00,
23:00).
• A signal receive operation takes from two to ten minutes under good signal conditions.
• A receive indicator shows the current status of the receive operation.

Unsuccessful Signal Reception
The antenna icon disappears from the display when a signal receive operation is unsuccessful. If this happens,
try changing the position or orientation of the clock, and press the WAVE button (
4 ) to receive again.
Manual Receive
• Press the WAVE button ( 4 ) to start a calibration signal receive operation.
• Use the WAVE button ( 4 ) to perform a receive operation after replacing the clock’s batteries or if the auto
receive operation was not performed correctly for some reason.
• The clock beeps and display illumination flashes for about three seconds when a receive operation trigged by the
WAVE button (
4 ) is successful.
Important!
• Do not perform any button or switch operation while a signal receive operation is in progress.
• The time calibration signal includes both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data.
• The DST indicator appears on the display when Daylight Saving Time (summer time) data is received.
