The Radio Controlled Clock
With the Radio-Controlled Clock, you can have the most accurate time within the continent. It can
receive the time signal transmitted by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) of Germany,
which is regulated by 4 atomic clocks. PTB transmits the time signal (DCF77, 77.5kHz)
continuously from Mainflingen, 25 km southeast of Frankfurt am Main. It is expected that the
signal can cover a distance of approx. 1,500km from the transmitter. However, some
environmental effects affect the transmitting distance.

Environmental Reception Effects
The Radio-Controlled Clock obtains the accurate time with wireless technology. Same as all
wireless devices, the receiving ability may be affected by, but not limited to, the following
conditions (see also the "Local Precautions")
• Long transmitting distance.
• Nearby mountains and valleys.
• Among tall buildings.
• Near railway, high voltage cable, etc.
• Near freeway, airport, etc.
• Near construction site.
• Bad weather.
• Nearby metallic structures.
Specifications
• Receive 77.5kHz DCF77 signal transmitted by PTB.
• Automatic time adjustment after signal reception.
• Calendar with day-of-the-week display.
• Hour, Minute and Second display.
• 12 or 24 hour format.
• Quartz crystal oscillator frequency : 32.768kHz.
• Time accuracy (atomic clock): better than 1 second in 3000 years.
• Time accuracy (free run): average within 60 seconds per month.
• Operating temperature from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
• Temperature measuring range from -9.9°C to 50°C (14.2°F to 122°F).
• Temperature resolution 0.1°C (0.1°F).
Location Precautions
This clock receives a radio wave much like a TV or radio. Be sure to locate it near a window or
some other locations where reception is good. Avoid the following locations, which can interfere
with proper reception.
Inside or near concrete/ steel buildings or structures, unless the clock is close / next to a window
(with curtain open).
Next or close to power station.
Inside moving vehicles (automobile, train, airplanes etc) which radio transmission or electronics
will interfere the reception of radio-controlled clock.
Too close to household appliances (Computer, TV, video/audios, fax machines, speakers).
Near construction sites, traffic lights, roadside, neon lights etc.
Close to or on top of metal surfaces / plates.
Battery Installation
1. Lift the tab on the battery door located at the back of the clock.
2. Put in batteries with proper polarity (+) and (-).
3. Close the battery door.
Warning : Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Do not touch any other button or setting on your unit. It will automatically receive the time signal
after batteries inserted.
Getting Started
As long as batteries are supplying power to the unit, it receives the time signal and adjusts the
time automatically. No manual adjustment is required after power up. Accurate adjustment of the
clock based on the time signal is supported within Europe.
If no reception after the power-up, we recommend to leave the clock overnight for searching the
time signal since night time allows better transmission of time signal.
Signal Receive Operation
The unit automatically receives the time signal everyday at midnight and thereby adjusts itself to
the exact time.
The WAVE OK indicator and the antenna tower icon appear on the display if the time signal is
successfully received or after manual pressed SET/WAVE button.
Important : Do not perform any button or switch operation while a signal receive operation is in
progress.
Triggering a Receive Operation Manually
You can trigger a signal receive operation at any time by pressing the SET/WAVE button, which
cause the unit to perform an immediate signal receive operation.
Unsuccessful Signal Reception
If the automatic update is unsuccessful, the wave on top of the antenna tower and the WAVE OK
icon will be disappeared, and the unit will re-try to receive the signal again every hour thereafter
for maximum of 4 hours.
If unsuccessful signal reception after battery installation or after reset, the unit keeps trying for 10
minutes every 3 hours until time signal reception successful.

4. Press SET/WAVE button to confirm and quit the set mode.
Room Thermometer
The temperature is displayed on the temperature field, Hi and Lo will be shown if the temperature
is out of the measurement range.
Reset the Unit
If the unit does not work properly, reset it by pressing the RESET button.
Care of the device
- Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight over longer periods.
- Avoid blows and shocks of any kind to the device.
- For cleaning use a dry soft cloth that you have moistened with water and a very
