Note: 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 30,000 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. Recep-

Reception can be considerably impaired by obstacles (e.g.
concrete walls) or sources of interference (e.g. other electrical
devices). You may have to change the location of the radio-
