2. Initial Power-On and DCF Signal Reception

Upon battery installation, the clock will automatically power on and begin searching for the DCF radio signal. This process may take several minutes. During this time, a signal icon will typically flash on the display.

  • Place the clock near a window for better signal reception, away from electronic devices that may cause interference.
  • Once the signal is successfully received, the time will be automatically set, and the signal icon will appear steadily on the display.
  • If the signal is not received within 10 minutes, the clock will proceed with default settings. You may need to manually set the time or try relocating the clock.
