Notes:
The time base for the radio controlled time is a Caesium Atomic Clock operated by the
Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig which has a time deviation of less
than one second in one million years. The time is coded and transmitted from Main-
flingen near Frankfurt via frequency signal DCF-77 (77.5 kHz) and has a transmitting
range of approximately 1500 km. Your radio-controlled clock receives this signal and
converts it to show the precise time in summer or wintertime. “S” appears on the
display during summer time. The quality of the reception depends greatly on the
geographic location. In normal cases, there should be no reception problems within a
1500 km radius around Frankfurt.
Please take note of the following:
• Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV
sets is a minimum of 1.5 - 2 metres.
• Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures), the received signal is
naturally weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window
and/or point its front or back towards the Frankfurt transmitter.
• During night-time midnight until appr. 4.00 h in the morning), the atmospheric
disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single
weekly reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
