INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Begin by opening the battery compartment cover at the bottom of the
clock.
Insert 1 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment
and make sure the polarity is correct by following the (+ or -) symbols
engraved inside.
Replace the battery whenever the display becomes dim or difficult to
read.
RADIO CONTROLED TIME FEATURE
Once the battery is installed the clock will begin to seek out the radio
signal to update the time. This typically takes between 3-6 minutes in good
conditions. If after 12minutes the signal has not been received, we
recommend that you set the time manually. (See Setting the Time
Manually.) After the first signal is received, the clock will automatically
seek out the atomic clock signal in Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77kHz) /
England (MSF 60kHz) for four times one day at the following time: 2:00AM
(3:00AM and 4:00AM will continue to seek the signal if the previous seeking
was in failure), 8:00AM, 2:00PM and 8:00PM,and continue to do so each
day.
SETTING THE TIME MANUALLY
• Slide the [SWITCH] key to the [TIME SET] position, the time will
begin to flash. Press the [MONTH•HOUR] key to set the clock to
wanted hour, press the [DATE•MIN] key to set the clock to the
wanted minute.
• Slide the [SWITCH] key to the [RUN] position to exit the setting
mo de and the second will restart from 00. The clock will now begin
keeping time. If ‘HOUR’, ’MINUTE’ wasn’t set, the second will keep the
original time.

In normal time mode, pressing the [YEAR•12/24] key will toggle
between the 12 and 24 hour formats.

daylight savings time is in effect. Your clock will show “DST” on the
display during this time.
Please note: With the pre-programmed DST feature, if you live in an area
where Daylight Savings Time is not observed, the time display on your
clock will read +/- one hour during the DST time period.
SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR FOR RADIO
CONTROLLED TIME SETTING

The alarm will stop sounding and then sound again in 4 minutes.
When the Alarm function is activated, if you do not activate the
snooze button the 4-step crescendo alarm will automatically snooze
once every 5 minutes for a total of 4 times. The alarm duration is 60
seconds.
RADIO CONTROLLED FEATURE
Note: At any time, you can press and hold the [°C / °F• RECEIVE] key for
three seconds to make the clock seek the atomic radio signal and set itself
automatically. The signal strength indicator will blink on the display as the
clock seeks out the signal.
When the signal icon on the clock flashes, this indicates that the clock is
receiving the radio signals from the Germany (DCF) or UK (MSF) radio
station (this depends on which version you purchase). When the time
code is received the signal icon turns on. If the signal icon does not
appear at all and the time is not yet set, please take note of the following:
We recommend keeping the minimum distance of 8 feet from any
interfering source like TV’s or computer monitors.
Within concrete rooms (basements, superstructures, tower block,
office buildings, etc.), the received signal will be weakened. In extreme
cases, the unit should be placed close to a window and/or point the
clock face or back towards the Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77) / England
(MSF).
Avoid placing the unit on or next to metal surface.
Don’t start reception in a moving article such as vehicle or train.
During the night, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less
severe and reception is possible in most cases. A single daily
reception is adequate to keep the accuracy within 1 second.
Note: It is recommended that for the first use of the clock, you set the
clock manually and then allow the Radio Control signal to update the
time setting each day.
CARE OF YOUR CLOCK
Replace the battery promptly when necessary and store the clock
without batteries when not in use. It is time to replace the batteries
when the LCD display becomes dim.
Clean your clock with a soft cloth or paper towel. Do not use corrosive
cleaners or chemical solutions on the clock.
Avoid putting the clock in a highly humid environment such as poolside
or in a bathroom.
Do not expose the clock to direct sunlight, extreme hot or cold
temperatures.
Note:
Attention! Please dispose of used unit and batteries in an ecologically
safe manner.
