Note: The reception will repeat hourly until a good reception is performed.
To shut the main power of the Viewer, press the main power switch on the left side panel of the
frame unit.
More about Radio controlled clock
The radio-controlled time is calculated by the Cesium Atomic clock of Braunschweig (official clock of
Germany). Then the time is coded and transmitted from Mainflingen - near Frankfurt - via a signal on
DCF-77 (77.5 kHz). The transmitting range of the signal is 1500 km, which means that most of Western
and Central Europe is covered by this signal. Within this range the received time is completely accurate.
However, there are many environmental factors affecting the RCC reception, i.e. next to computer
monitors or other electronic devices, seat over metal surface, surrounded by tall buildings, and so on. The
user is recommended to place the atomic clock near the window and face the transmitter in
Mainflingen-near Frankfurt, Germany. There are 2 level of RCC strength indicator in the clock display, no
wave and full wave represent weak signal and good signal respectively.
If there has no wave above the reception tower that means the signal is very weak and the clock can not
be set by the RCC signal, please try to rotate the frame unit to other windows to seek for a better RCC
reception location. Besides, the RCC signal is the strongest at night, the user can manually set the clock to
local time and leave it overnight to receive the RCC signal automatically.
Once the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD, and time and calendar will
automatically be updated.
