searches for the DCF radio signal. This process may take a few minutes
and is indicated by the blinking radio icon

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.
In ideal conditions, your weather station can pick up this signal over a dis-
tance of up to approx. 1,500 km around Frankfurt / Main. Reception of the
radio signal generally takes approx. 3–10 minutes.
