Reception of DCF radio signal
The radio-controlled clock automatically starts to
search for the DCF radio signal. The radio icon
2
on the LCD indicates that the clock is searching for
the radio signal.
Note: Reception of the radio signal may be seriously
disrupted in reinforced concrete buildings (see
“Setting up Devices”).
It is also possible to start reception of the DCF radio
signal manually on the clock.
Press and hold down the WAVE button 21 for
3 seconds. The radio-controlled clock attempts
to pick up the DCF radio signal. This process
takes a few minutes and is indicated by the
flashing radio icon
2 on the LCD.
Note: If the radio-controlled clock cannot pick up
the DCF radio signal on account of an error or the
distance from the transmitter, etc., it is also possible
to set the time manually. As soon as reception of
the DCF signal is successful, the manual settings
are overwritten.
